"Sugar" Shane Mosley
A Star was born September 7, 1971, boxer "Sugar" Shane Mosley toiled in professional obscurity for years before emerging as the undisputed champion of the lightweight division. He sought out challengers in higher weight classes, becoming a champion in the welterweight and super welterweight divisions, until time slowed his once-dazzling combination of speed and power.
Mosley proved a formidable fighter on the Los Angeles amateur boxing circuit, a talent pool that included future champion Oscar De La Hoya. In 1989, he won the U.S. Amateur Championship as a lightweight and claimed the silver medal in the World Junior Championships. The following year he repeated as U.S. Amateur lightweight champion and

Mosley moved up a weight class and won the U.S. Amateur Championship as a light welterweight in 1992, but he fell short in his bid for the Olympics with a loss to Vernon Forrest at the trials for the 1992 games. Many believe that was due to the tragedy that happen months prior with his nephew. Regardless, he had high hopes after compiling a 250-10 amateur record and turned professional with his dad on board as a trainer.
Mosley has held world titles in three weight divisions. He held the IBF Lightweight Championship, WBC & WBA (Super) Welterweight Championships, and WBC, WBA (Super) & The Ring Light Middleweight
Championships. Staples Center on June 17, 2000, Mosley outpointed De La Hoya to win a title in his second weight class and cement his reputation as boxing's greatest pound-for-pound performance.
Father of four children, after announcing his retirement, Mosley said he would devote more time to training his son, Shane Jr. Mosley has been inducted into the Las Vegas and New York Hall of Fame as one of pound-for-pound greatest fighters of all time and is known to break a fighter down with his vicious body shots. Shane Mosley has a heart of gold, he is an example of a true Champion inside and outside the ring!
