By Robert Morales - Richard Schaefer couldn't believe it has been 10 years since "Sugar" Shane Mosley's birth into big-time boxing - a thrilling split-decision victory over Oscar De La Hoya on June 17, 2000, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Once Schaefer took it in after being told of the anniversary, he realized it would make a Mosley return to Staples Center this year even more meaningful.
"That is a very interesting thing," said Schaefer, CEO of De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, to BoxingScene.com. "I might mention that to him (Mosley) as well, maybe use that as the beginning of the last chapter of Shane Mosley's career and move forward."
One thing is certain, Schaefer and Golden Boy will play host to a card at Staples Center on Sept. 18. The week's festivities will celebrate the 200-year anniversary of Mexico's independence. One thing not so certain is the headlining fight, but Schaefer on Tuesday confirmed it could be Mosley against Sergio Mora at 154 pounds, a weight at which both are former world champions.
