Welterweight star Shane Mosley has called out pound for pound king Manny 'pacman' Pacquiao following the Filipino’s flawless two-round demolition job of Ricky 'the hitman' Hatton.
In an interview with ESPN’s Sports Center, Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) said he was impressed by Pacquiao’s performance, and is very much looking forward to sharing the ring with him soon.
"I thought Manny Pacquiao did an excellent job of putting together the right hook and that overhand left. I mean, that pretty much rocked Ricky Hatton every time it hit him," the gracious boxer from Pomona, California, said.
Asked if he deserves to get a shot at the current pound-for-pound king, Mosley pleaded his case.
“Why not [get a shot at Pacquiao]? I’m the welterweight champion of the world, the WBA super champion,” he stressed.
A former pound-for-pound king himself, Mosley reiterated his willingness to face top opposition. He stopped recognized welterweight champion Antonio Margarito in January to annex the WBA welterweight crown.
And his motivation in facing Pacquiao?
“I could be the first guy in history to win the pound-for-pound title twice. So let’s do it, let’s bring it on,” he said.
Is this the next Shane Mosley vs. Manny Pacquiao?
