Former three division champion, Shane Mosley, is still looking to secure a few more career-defining fights at age 39. Mosley (46-6, 39 KOs) returns on September 18 against former junior middleweight champion Sergio Mora (22-1-1, 6 KOs) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

In May, Mosley was dominated for the better part of his twelve round contest with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Looking back at the fight, Mosley attributes the poor performance to several factors, which include inactivity, bad strategy and an issue with his neck.

"I think that part of it was a little bit of bad strategy. Part of it was that my neck was tightening up. My neck tightening up, I couldn't throw punches the way I wanted to. But it wasn't age. You know. I hit him the hardest that anybody has ever hit him in his entire life. I had him hurt like nobody has," Mosley said.

"What it comes down to is that it was just a case of an off night. It was an off night. My last fight was the Antonio Margarito fight, and there was some time off away from the ring between that fight and the Floyd Mayweather fight. I mean, I didn't fight for over a year."

If Mosley defeats Mora, he has a potential fights on his wish list - and that includes a clash with the winner of November's battle between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito, and a rematch with Mayweather. 

"Well, there are four or five more fights out there that I want. Manny Pacquiao, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto. And of course Floyd Mayweather has a win over me, and I want to avenge that," Mosley said.
