    He's Not Going To Fight Margarito Or Berto ... Two Options Would Be Williams And Clottey ...

    There is no $$ for Mosely fighting guys like Williams and Clottey.

    Margarito is the new money man at welterweight.

    A fight between Margarito and Mosely would be great,
    both in the ring and at the box office.

    He may have a shot against someone like Kermit Cintron or Carlos Quintana ... Carlos Baldomir or Luis Collazo for a mandatory shot at a title ...

    Mosley isn't going to fight Margarito ... he would have to make a nice chunk of change and from what I know about Margarito ... he's not that type of fighter and neither is Shane Mosley.

    If Hopkins vs. Wright is PPV worthy then Shane vs. Margarito is too. :good

    A fight with Berto would make the most sense. it is the most winnable for Shane and it would give him a title

    Wright is more known that Margarito will ever be ... he fought big names in Vargas, Trinidad, Taylor, Mosley, and Ike Quartey --

    Margarito's whole resume doesn't top those quality type fighters ... and Hopkins had over 20 title defense and has been seen more on HBO than Margarito.

    Shane Mosley hasn't won a meaningful fight since 2001 and has lost his last fight.

    A. Mosley's win over Collazo was meaningful (and so was his rematch with DLH, and to a lesser extent, his wins with Vargas).

    B. Many observers, myself included, would dispute that.

    I also say fight Margarito, any fighter has a very good chance of Outboxing Tony, as long as they dont get their nose broke in the second round and they can keep him in the center of the ring.
