Just Too Sweet

Sugar Shane is moving on.

A ring veteran and future Hall of Famer should not be reduced to begging; it's unbecoming of a champion.

Mosley enlisted his entourage of Golden Boy partners to release a statement saying he was done fighting for a piece of the proverbial Pacquiao pie.

But with Berto doing negotiations with Callazo for a much deserved rematch, and Cintron and Judah being (in my opinion), gatekeepers and stepping stones at this stage in their careers, that really only leaves the Punisher and the Ghana Brawler.

Paul Williams, the self-proclaimed "most feared man in boxing," is a freakish 6'2'' welterweight who throws over 1,000 punches per fight and dusted his shoulders off after pitching a shut-out against "the most avoided man in boxing," Winky Wright.

Joshua Clottey got his name out there after losing a close split decision to Miguel Cotto on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade; had he not spent so much time against the ropes and complaining about invisible low blows, fans might have been outraged at the outcome.

However, this is where things get interesting: fighter A beats fighter B, fighter C beats fighter A--how can fighter B hope to beat fighter C?

Shane Mosley knows the answer. Boxing is the one sport where the A-B-C rarely works out as predicted. Cotto owns a unanimous decision over Sugar Shane, outpointing the veteran to victory. Margarito uses his cinder-block gloves to knock Cotto out in the 11th. With the ABC recipe in place, Sugar Shane goes on to clean Margarito's clock, putting him down inside of 9 rounds at a sold out Staples Center.

And now add Joshua Clottey. The ghana fighter living in the Bronx lost to Margarito and Cotto--how can he hope to beat Sugar Shane?

ABC my friends.
