Sugar Shane Then and Now
24/7 has sparked the new age of boxing. Amidst the talks of UFC overtaking the sweet science HBO manufactured the riveting 24/7 where the personalities of some of the greatest boxers have come to the surface, none more so then Floyd “Money” Mayweather. Gone are the days when Floyd would struggle to fill up boxing arena’s and was considered a boring fighter. Here are the days where Floyd is now a fighter who garners some of the largest audiences the sport has ever seen.
Also gone and in the nether regions of the casual boxing fans subconscious is when Mosley was considered what Mayweather is now. A fighter with superb hand speed combined with power that was even greater then Floyd’s that never dodged any one. Now however he’s considered more of a stepping stone then a formidable opponent in relation to Floyd who has assumed the role of being black Americas fighter. Mosley even though he demolished Margarito and made Ricardo Mayorga look like an amateur Sugar Shane is considered a fighter who is over the hill and has no shot against Floyd.
Still what people seem to forget is that this over the hill fighter is hands down the biggest challenge Floyd has ever faced. While this may not translate into a Mosley victory it is a testament to the evolution of the thought of the casual boxing fan. Just a couple years ago had this fight taken place Floyd would have been considered the boring fighter that Mosley would have taken care of. Nowadays the casual sports fan who is watching HBO 24/7 is overwhelmed with Mayweather’s personality and is underwhelmed by Mosley’s. So as the fight looms we will really see if Mosley still has what it takes to beat one of the greatest fighters of our era.
