Dream Fight: Mosley vs Mayweather Jr.?

By Randy De La O

With Sugar Shane Mosley once again the Welterweight  (WBA version) Champion of the world, the sky is the limit. The fight that I have wanted to see for years has now become a possibility (if only to me). More than a rematch with Miguel Cotto or  Antonio Margarito, or a fight with Paul Williams, Andre Berto or Manny Pacquiao, I would love to see Mosley fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. From a purely physical standpoint they match up well, both are exceptionally fast and both are highly skilled and both hold wins over Oscar De La Hoya. It's a natural matchup.  I really don't see Mayweather having the stones to take on Mosley, especially after last nights beating and stoppage of Antonio Margarito, but the fight has so many possibilties and should have happened years ago. This would be a fight worth coming out of retirement for. This would be the premier fight of 2009 if it happened.
