Shane Mosley is an American professional boxer from Pomona, California. Mosley has held world titles in three weight divisions, having held the IBF Lightweight Championship, WBC & WBA (Super) Welterweight Championships and WBC, WBA (Super) & The Ring Light Middleweight Championships. Sugar Shane started his pro career in 1993; by 2000 he had fought 34 times amassing a 34–0 record, beating undefeated Phillip Holiday to win the IBF Lightweight title.

He made 9 title defenses with all inside the distance, but never unified belts. Mosley relinquished his Lightweight title to move up 2 divisions, facing Oscar De La Hoya for his Welterweight title. He was nicknamed sugar because his favorite boxer was Sugar Ray Robinson. He ran a successful string of defenses of his Welterweight titles but against three unheralded fighters. When he finally did step up his competition, it was against former Olympian Vernon Forrest. Early in the second round, the fighters clashed heads and both staggered backward as referee Steve Smoger called time. Mosley sustained a cut on the hairline. When action resumed, Forrest knocked Mosley down twice in the round. It was the first occasion Mosley had ever been knocked down once (let alone twice) in a bout. The final scorecards read 115–110, 117–108 and 118–108, in favor of Forrest. They had a rematch six months later at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indiana and Mosley once again lost by a unanimous decision in a very closely contested bout that saw Mosley land far more power shots and Forrest land far more unsignificant shots as well as an even level of aggression between the two competitors, however Forrest was utilizing far more effective ring general-ship (in comparison to Mosley) which would ultimately prove to be the difference in terms of the outcome being scored. Mosley then defeated Fernando Vargas on February 25, 2006 by TKO in the tenth round at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, due to a massive swelling which closed Fernando's left eye. At the time of the stoppage, Mosley was winning on two scorecards 86–85, while Vargas held an 86–85 advantage on the other scorecard. A rematch was announced almost immediately.

Mosley defeated Fernando Vargas in the rematch on July 15, 2006. Mosley dominated Vargas from start to finish, eventually ending the fight via a sixth-round TKO. Shane defeated Luis Collazo on February 11, 2007, with a unanimous decision after 12 rounds, knocking Collazo down once, to capture the WBC Interim Welterweight title. On May 1, 2010, Mosley fought undefeated Floyd May weather, Jr. Boxing purists had called for the fight for over ten years. Mosley's WBA title was not on the line because May weather refused to pay WBA sanctioning fees. On the fight night, Mosley stunned May weather with two right-hand shots in the second round. May weather recovered well and dominated the remainder of the fight with superior reflexes and his effective counter-punching style, eventually winning a wide decision on the scorecards to hand Mosley the sixth defeat of his professional career.

On May 22, 2010, Shane Mosley was stripped of his WBA (Super) Welterweight title, due to not making a mandatory defense, which in turn made WBA Champion Vyacheslav Senchenko the sole WBA titlist in the welterweight division.
