The Fight That Showed Floyd Mayweather Really Has Got A Chin

March 14, 2020March 13, 2020 by James Slater

Shane Mosley - May 1, 2010 - Las Vegas, Nevada. Throughout his long (and who knows, perhaps not finished yet) career, Floyd Mayweather was always keen to avoid taking a punch. It is, after all, hit and not get hit; The Sweet Science. And Floyd was a master boxer. This defensive-minded approach (adopted by the older Mayweather, when he had become a real star) turned off many fans, who claimed Mayweather was a boring safety-first fighter. However, at times, when he had to do so, Mayweather could take a massive shot.

Prime for Prime, Peak for Peak, who was better – Floyd Mayweather or Oscar De La Hoya? “Sugar” Shane Mosley says Oscar

August 7, 2018August 6, 2018 by James Slater

Shane Mosley - Former multi-weight king “Sugar” Shane Mosley will be inducted into The Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame on the 18th of this month, and though Mosley achieved plenty as a lightweight (arguably his best weight class, his blinding speed being truly incredible at 135 pounds), it is largely down to his two big wins over superstar Oscar De La Hoya that Mosley is going in.

Sugar Shane Mosley- A Career Retrospective

August 20, 2017August 19, 2017 by DeMarkus Jones

Shane Mosley - DeMarkus Jones- The sun set on the illustrious, almost 25 year career of Shane Mosley. Here I provide a look back at the boxing life of the Sugarman; a man who experienced it all. Supreme victory, unexpected defeat, a steroid scandal, attempted loaded gloves, and everything in between. Still, we must pay homage to, arguably, one of the best boxers of the last 20 years.

Shane Andre Mosley was a decorated amateur in the local California box scene as well as the national stage. He won many competitions, compiling a stellar record of 250 wins over against just 16 losses. Mosley was favored to go to the 1992 Olympics, however a loss to Vernon Forrest derailed those plans. Undeterred, Mosley turned pro. On February 11th 1993 the world witnessed the pro debut of the man who go on to rule the 135 lb. division like no one else had since Roberto Duran.

Shane Mosley officially announces retirement

August 17, 2017August 16, 2017 by James Slater

Shane Mosley - Former lightweight and welterweight great “Sugar” Shane Mosley has officially retired from boxing. The 45 year old told ESPN of his decision, stating how he realised he had to “let it go as far as me trying to compete as a fighter any more.”

Former lightweight and welterweight great “Sugar” Shane Mosley has officially retired from boxing. The 45 year old told ESPN of his decision, stating how he realised he had to “let it go as far as me trying to compete as a fighter any more.”

In truth, Mosley should probably have retired a few years back, say around 2011, after his heavy decision loss to Manny Pacquiao, or certainly in 2012, after his even heavier decision loss to Canelo Alvarez. The final five bouts of Mosley’s career were somewhat tough to watch, for those fans who remembered Mosley when he was at as dazzling prime, in 1997 to 2002, especially.
