Mosley VS Berto: Berto Withdraws
It’s official. The Mosley vs Berto fight is off.
Haitian-American boxer, Andre Berto withdrew today from his fight against Shane Mosley, scheduled for 30 January 2010.
The undefeated boxer and World Boxing Council welterweight champion said that, due to the catastrophic earthquake that just hit his home country of Haiti, he would not be able to train properly for the biggest fight of his career.
The fight between Mosley vs Berto is off, at least for now.
But, this recent turn of events might just open up the possibility of a mega fight between Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
With Mayweather Jr. scouting for a worthy opponent for his next big Pay-Per-View event after the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather epic flop, a Mayweather vs Mosley fight would definitely make sense, specially seeing how both fighters are represented by Golden Boy Promotions.
In fact, promoters are already scrambling to work things out between Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. and the likelihood of the fight between Mosley and Mayweather are very high.
