Manny may now train his sight on one who is interested. The one most interested.

And suddenly, Sugar Shane seems sweeter!
Manny’s next fight is for the history books. How many fighters can win 7 division titles in his boxing career? Should Manny accomplish it, it would be a long time before the feat can be equalled and surpassed. If it’s not for the WBO, there is the WBA, the WBC or the IBF titles.
And Shane Mosley is not just another champion. By the way he destroyed Antonio Margarito, Sugar Shane is a more difficult fight for Manny than with Cotto even at age 37. While Cotto has a win over Mosley, Cotto is not the same fighter now as he was when he fought Mosley. Cotto had become more beatable after his severe beating by Margarito.
Mosley holds the title he took from Margarito who took it from Cotto who took it from...and so on.
And Shane is willing to have a fairer fight by agreeing to concede his size advantage. The fight can be fought at 143 or 145 lbs with the WBA welterweight belt at stake. It should not be at 140. Nothing is sweet in beating a bitter Shane. There is no glory since Manny will not remake history.
It is written by some that Manny might be fighting his last. It has been proven that it is wise to retire while, not only at the top of your division as has been done by Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe lately, but more so when one is at the top of rall. As the pound for pound top dog.
And there’s no sweeter way for Manny to end his fighting career by scoring a win over the suddenly sweet Sugar Shane Mosley.
