Nazim Richardson Goal to make Mosley the third "Sugar"?
Seeing that Shane has 5 losses too good,but not great fighters,holds Margarito victory as a benchmark for success(who we found out was probably using illegal hand wraps his entire career)and used PED's for his high profile victory over De la Hoya is there a chance he will be rated even in the top 100 ATG let alone compared to Robinson or Leonard even if he beats Mayweather?
Shane Mosley already is considered the third "Sugar"- he is not and most likely never will be on the level of Sugar Ray Robinson or Sugar Ray Leonard but Mosley himself is a truly great fighter who is worthy of the "Sugar" moniker.
I'm not sure about him being in the top 100 greatest fighters of all time and I personally don't think he's there yet (and he's already 38, so time is running out) but a win over Floyd Mayweather and then a win over Manny Pacquiao would unquestionably get him into the top 100 fighters of all time in my book because then he will have beat the 2 best fighters of the last decade and he will have beaten 2 of the best fighters of this era/generation and wins over both of them would probably make him rank higher than them. And I think if he can beat those 2 fighters, he will draw comparisons to both Robinson and Leonard and he will be considered by many to be on their hallowed level. This is all of course hypothetically speaking because he is the clear underdog in his bout with Mayweather and if he loses that fight, a match against Pacquiao is a long shot and if he loses to Mayweather, I don't think he'll make it on the top 100 list.
Regardless of what happens in the Mayweather bout, Mosley is a great fighter and in my eyes, he is deserving of the "Sugar" moniker but I would say that I think it's appropriate that with Mosley, you put the sugar in quotations whereas with Robinson and Leonard, you assume it as a part of their name and don't put it in quotations because they were that great.

Oscar De La Hoya Retires
It's official Oscar De La Hoya retires.
The Golden Boy announced his retirement earlier today after days of speculation. Rumors began circulating last week when it was announced that the former champ would be holding a press conference today to disclose his future.
He leaves after a brilliant career which was full of accomplishments, titles and highs. Unfortunately the last memory of Oscar as a boxer may be one of the lowest moments in his career when he was destroyed by Manny Pacquiao.
His professional boxing career began on 11/23/92 versus a fighter by the name of Lamar Williams. It was a relatively easy KO victory in the first round. His brilliance continued for many years to come. A career full of great moments which included an incredible comeback victory against Ike Quartey and the destruction of Fernando Vargas. The latter fight seemed to have been one of the most personal battles in his career as Vargas played to the Mexican fans, claiming he was a real Mexican unlike the champ. The rivalry was all about Mexican pride and Vargas took a beating and a TKO loss in the 11th round.
He fought some legends which included Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker and Tito Trinidad. The fight versus Trinidad resulted in his first loss and it was a controversial decision. Many fight fans and reporters gave the fight to the Golden Boy who controlled the first 7 rounds. The judges however saw this fight differently and gave Trinidad a gift win by a slight margin. I myself have watched this fight several times and can never seem to find a way to agree with the judges.
The last six fights were a roller coaster ride, with 3 wins and 3 losses within the time span of 2004 to 2008. He had some easy and impressive wins versus Steve Forbes and the always controversial Ricardo Mayorga. He also had one win versus Felix Sturm which he clearly did not deserve. The little known Sturm was a warm up fight before he took on Bernard Hopkins. Sturm gave De La Hoya everything he could handle and then some. Losses in this six year span included bouts versus Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. The beating The Golden Boy took versus Pacquiao was unbelievable. I was truly saddened to see such a legendary fighter take such a beating. When interviewed Oscar said it was hard because his mind wanted to fight but his body just wouldn't. Like many fighters well passed their prime, Oscar realized it was time to retire during a fight.
I hope the lasting memory of this great champ will be his wins, his professionalism and all his accomplishments which included a Gold Medal in the 1992 Olympics and wins over seventeen World Champions. He won ten belts in six different weight classes. His career as a fighter may be over but we will surely see him again as he is becoming one of the most powerful and influential boxing promoters in the sport.
