Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley Fight Possible

Andre Berto had to drop out of his Jan. 30th fight against Shane Mosley due to the effects of the devastating earthquake in his home land of Haiti. Berto has become physically and mentally exhausted. Quite frankly, I was shocked that he was even considering the fight. He is a super talent and will definitely be back. For now, he needs to deal with the most important matter at hand. Berto has lost 8 family members in the disaster but fortunately his sister and niece have survived as he discovered recently (his parents live in the US).

Of course, this news opens up the possibility of a Mosley versus Floyd Mayweather fight in the summer. The biggest questions is weather Mayweather will take a chance on the Golden Boy promoted Mosley who is a very dangerous opponent. The fight would almost definitely be huge. If this fight gets signed, I'll look at these recent happenings as evidence of my original statement that boxing is bigger than Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao (who is facing Joshua Clottey). Instead of Mayweather versus Pacquiao we will get two solid fights that could lead to the big fight closer to the end of the year.
