Reigning welterweight champion Sugar Shane Mosley wants to clean out the division, including Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao.
In a telephone interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer Thursday, Mosley reiterated his readiness to brawl with the world’s pound-for-pound king.
And when that happens, the 37-year-old American said Pacquiao will surely be in for a tough night. He said he is bigger, stronger and a more determined fighter.
“I’m a whole different specimen,” said Mosley. “I’m kinda like a Pacquiao but in a bigger form.”
Pacquiao is set to challenge British superstar Ricky Hatton on May 2 in Las Vegas while Mosley is still relishing his recent success after dethroning Mexican Antonio Margarito.
Mosley (46-5 with 39 KOs) said he is still four or five years away from retirement and that his recent wins prove he still has what it takes to rule the sport.
“I’m looking to clean out the whole welterweight division,” said Mosley, who also stopped former champion Ricrado Mayorga last September. “Everyone in my way I’m looking to clean out. I’m going to be the king of 147 and remain there for a while.”
