It was pointed out to Oscar De La Hoya that “Sugar” Shane Mosley, 39, has had consecutive fights – a one-sided loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and a draw with Sergio Mora – where he had difficulty getting off his combinations.
But again, De La Hoya said Mayweather and Mora are fighters who make it difficult to look good.
“You put (Mosley) in with a ‘Perro’ Angulo, against fighters who are going to come to fight, who stay in front of you and want to bang, and Mosley is going to shine,” De La Hoya said to BoxingScene.com.
De La Hoya said he is working on finding an opponent for Mosley’s next fight.
“There are different options for him,” De La Hoya said. “Probably, we are going to sit down with Shane when I get back next week. The fight with Andre Berto has obviously been talked about. There is [Saul] ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Also, we’re going to see if an Antonio Margarito or a (Manny) Pacquiao or even a (Miguel) Cotto want to fight Mosley.
“We are always open to fighting anybody. We just want to make the best fights.”
