Comments Thread For: It’s a Family Affair For The Mosleys, Part II

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - Before he won a world championship as a lightweight, the first of three divisions he would rule, “Sugar” Shane Mosley’s reputation among his peers and hardcore fans was made in the southern California gyms where he went to war with whoever dared step into the ring with him. It was an education you couldn’t get in a book, and you couldn’t buy it. It also put down the foundation for a career that will likely result in a Hall of Fame nod.

So as the Pomona native prepares his son, Shane Mosley Jr., for his pro debut on Saturday, has he given him the same kind of tough love?

“Oh, he’s sparred all the top guys,” said Mosley Sr. “Kid Chocolate (Peter Quillin), Lucas Matthysse, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, he’s worked with everybody. I don’t shield him from anything or anybody because these are the people he’s gonna be in the ring with.”

He’s right. Not on Saturday, when he meets Albuquerque’s Mark Cordova (0-1) at the Oceanview Pavilion in Port Hueneme, California, but if the 23-year-old middleweight does live up to even a fraction of what his father did in the ring, he will one day meet the best in the business. So why not get a taste now? But what Mosley Jr. does learn from the aforementioned killers isn’t about technique, but about mindset. [Click Here To Read More]

With some of the best boxing brains around him he is 37-10 as an amateur? I doubt he has any substance but who knows time will tell. His own father says 'if he surrounds himself with the right people' meaning he's probably not so much into the whole thing.
We will see since he's fighting someone with a 100% loss record in his first fight.
