Mosley said,"In may case, that's a lot of weight to lose. I previously fought at 154. Coming to 147 can be task. Then coming down even further, that is a real task. Even one pound for me make a big difference. To make things fair, we'll meet halfway."
Sugar Shane is the reigning WBA (World Boxing Association) 147-lb champion, said he is willing to comply to a catchweight of 144 lbs, admitting the fact that Manny Pacquiao is not a natural welterweight and appears to be more comfortable at 140 pounds. He also The Ring that his natural weight currently is 160 pounds.
His last fight versus Mexican Antonio Margarito earned him his reigning title of WBA welterweight belt with a win via a brutal knockout.
WBA World Welterweight Champion Sugar Shane Mosley is willing to fight Pacquiao at ligther weights even at 140.
"Getting down to as light as 143 to 144 pounds will be a monumental task, though the price of it is more than of a sacrifice."
Sugar Shane Mosley is giving Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao a very tempting offer, to fight him this October. Telling The Ring Magazine that sliding down of 147 pound would need a lot of work.
Mosley has been speaking to the media this past few days, rubbing the boxing world's appetite for a Pacquiao-Mosley fight.
Pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao has expressed his willingness to fight the veteran welterweight champion as long as both parties agree in the negotiating table such as the purse split and weight class.
Mosley then said he will not let the issue of revenue split and weight to stand in the way such a dream match.
Quoting Mosley,"I think we can make it eay. Everyone does the money thing; they want this, they want that. It's like they try to prevent it from happening. I definitely want to do this. It would be historical, a fight I think boxing needs."
Meanwhile Pacquiao was keeping his options open and was even at the ringside at Madison Square Garden when Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto meets Joshoua Clottey of Ghana.
It was just days after that fight that Pacquiao decide to settle for a WBO Welterweight Cotto bout. There was probably something in the Cotto-Clottey showdown that catches Pacquiao's attention. As for now, Sugar Shane shoud keep his head down for a Pacquiao-Mosley fight.
