"Pacquiao is definitely going to lose the fight. He's gonna get beat and the reason why is the only people that I've lost to are African Americans. He's never fought an African American and I've only lost to African Americans. I don't lose to nobody else; everybody else gets smashed. My record shows it," stated three-division world-champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley, who recently returned to his training facilities in Big Bear, California after a cross-country tour to promote his upcoming May 7th showdown with pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao. Enjoying his last days off before starting training camp, Mosley made it clear that he's not at all concerned about any of the skills that the Filipino superstar possesses.
"Margarito and all these guys they put in front of me, I destroy them all. Manny Pacquiao is in for a long night because I don't lose to anything but African Americans," he continued. It's a bold statement, but for the most part, it's true as five out of Mosley's six losses have come at the hands of Floyd Mayweather, Winky Wright, and Vernon Forrest, all of which are African Americans. His sixth loss, however, was to Puerto Rican sensation Miguel Cotto in a fight that many believe Mosley deserved the nod in. "I should have won the Cotto fight. They kinda gave it to him, but whatever. I've only been beat by African Americans," Mosley explained. Will Manny Pacquiao become the first non-African American to decisively and convincingly defeat the future Hall of Famer? Tune in on May 7th to find out!
