Did Floyd Mayweather Jr knock Shane Mosley into retirement?

Lost in the jubilation of Floyd Mayweather Jr’s domination over Shane Mosley, is the uncertainty of Mosley’s future. It’s been over 6 weeks and we’ve yet to hear from the future hall of famer. In addition to suffering a devastating loss, Mosley was also stripped of his WBA title. Does Mosley have one more run or did Floyd Mayweather Jr knock him into retirement? Let’s examine further

Mayweather Sr says if he was Pacquiao’s trainer ‘I definitely would make him a much better fighter’ A Return to the Ring If Shane Mosley chooses to keep fighting, the soon to be 39 year old has several top challengers lined up. In fact, he would still have opportunities to fight for world titles and decent pay checks. Could the lure of Boxing’s spotlight motivate Shane to make a return to the ring? Andre Berto The obvious choice for Mosley’s next fight would be against the WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto. The two men were supposed to fight earlier this year but Berto pulled out after the devastating earthquake to his homeland of Haiti. Andre has mentioned several times that he would love to get this fight with Shane. Timothy Bradley Bradley is looking to move up to 147 and take on the big names of the division. One of the names he mentioned was Shane Mosley. Bradley is an exciting young fighter who is undefeated like Andre Berto. Perhaps, a fight with Bradley would be better suited for Mosley due to a size advantage. Paul Williams Williams’ promoter Dan Goosen told Boxingscene.com that a fight with Shane Mosley is a top priority: “We would like to fight one of the 147-pound champions. We’d love to fight (Shane) Mosley. That, I would say, is our No. 1 priority” In my opinion, Paul Williams would be the toughest of these 3 potential challengers
