Could "High Stakes" Give Us Mosley / DeLaHoya III
The question is, why does “Sugar” Shane 44-5, 37 Ko’s continue to fight? He has all but secured himself in the Boxing Hall of Fame. “Sugars” only five losses are two to world champion Winky Wright, two to Vernon Forrest and his last a close contest with young and up coming star Miguel Cotto. The Cotto fight a battle that clearly showed the fire is still burning. “Sugarman’s” immediate future, whether it’s a shot at Mayweather or a rematch with Cotto rides on a victory over former champion “Super” Zab Judah. Let’s add up the options. Mosley beats Judah and Cotto beats Gomez the chance of a rematch with Cotto is prevailing. If Mayweather gets past DelaHoya again he probably will “retire or go to the United Kingdom to give the “Hitman’ a rematch. If by some chance DeLaHoya beats “Pretty Boy” the option of a Mosley / DeLaHoya III pops up. The two have stated its done, but we know better. Could a DeLaHoya vs Mayweather or DeLaHoya vs Hatton beat out Mosley meeting any of the big three (DeLaHoya, Mayweather, Cotto), who knows and that’s what keeps Mosley in the running. If those political pundits want to make a stake they will claim “steroids” beat the Golden Boy, let’s settle it once and for all. Since when has politics and boxing been far apart? Considering the games biggest fights where would DeLaHoya / Mosley III stand? Is Mosley / DeLa Hoya really “Destiny.”
