Manny Pacquiao: Shane Mosley Wants a Piece Of You.

By Troy Sparks

Manny Pacquiao has another fighter waiting in line to get a piece of him.

We know he's scheduled to fight Antonio Margarito.

The three-ring circus has now added another member after Floyd Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez and Timothy Bradley.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's "Sugar" Shane Mosley.

Mosley, at 38 years old, is like an old pair of parachute pants in your closet; you can't get rid of them.

His upcoming fight against Sergio Mora on September 18 will prove if he still has it.

It doesn't look like Mosley is ready to retire from boxing as he's inching toward 40.

He's an ageless wonder, like Brett Favre, and neither are ready to give up yet.

There's no difference between the two because they keep coming back for more.

Before Mosley thinks about his long-ago challenge to Pacquiao, he must defeat the former TV boxing champion.

How does the champion of the former NBC boxing reality show, "The Contender," fly under the radar?

You couldn't underestimate Mora after he upset Vernon Forrest to take his WBC Super Welterweight belt.

Forrest beat Mora in a rematch.

Mora did something that Mosley couldn't do twice in losses to Forrest:  Win.

Mosley must have tremendous strength to fight twice in a 4 1/2-month period.

The loss to Floyd Mayweather in May should've been psychologically tough on him.

I completely understand, Shane, if the Mayweather defeat broke you down or even motivated you to fight a "TV" guy.

And after Mosley beats Mora, he wants Sergio Martinez.

Pacquiao will look in his rear-view mirror and see Mosley pleading for him to come out of retirement for a crack at the pound-for-pound champion.

It'll be too late, Shane, because after Pacquiao's fight against Mayweather, that will be the icing on the cake.

Since your promoter's last name isn't King, you won't get the crumbs that will fall off the table.

Don't worry, at least you have a better chance to reach the top of the food chain over Bradley and Marquez.

And one more thing:  You want to fight Pacquiao at 160.  Has it entered your brain that Pac-Man would have trouble trying to gain almost 20 pounds?

Beat Mora first and then go from there.
