Mosley Wants Pacman at Catch-Weight
Los Angeles, CA
WBA Welterweight Champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley announced today that
he is ready to face Manny Pacquiao in the ring and is willing to meet at a catch-weight to make the fight happen.
In a statement, Mosley said:
“There are conflicting reports from the Pacquiao camp an upcoming fight between me and Manny Pacquiao. I want it to be known that I want to fight Pacquiao and I want to fight him now. I’m willing to meet at a catch weight to make that happen.I know this is what Freddie Roach wants as well, as he has previously stated this to press. I am the best fighter in boxing and I am ready to reclaim the title of number one pound-for-pound fighter.”
Mosley last faced Antonio Margartio in January 2009 and delivered a ninth-round knockout. Pacquiao is coming off a second-round knock-out victory over Ricky Hatton in May.
