Not surprising in this day and age, three-division world champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley brought his sentiments to social media with regards to Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s continuing snub of Amir Khan.
Boxing News 24 reported that the former lightweight, welterweight, and light middleweight titleholder wants to fight British sensation King Khan next after his scheduled 12-rounder with veteran boxer Ricardo Mayorga on August 29 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Mosley reportedly felt that the match between Mayweather and Khan is long overdue, and if the undefeated American would not want to fight him, then he may have to.
"Mayweather don't want to take on @AmirKingKhan then Mosley will. Any1 who wants these hands can get it," Mosley tweeted on Monday morning. He then followed it up with "Every1 knows I will shatter Khans jaw" a few minutes later.
The 28-year-old Bolton native replied with a simple "Ha ha" tweet to all of the 43-year-old's ramblings.
While Mosley's posts were not grammatically perfect, the message is loud and clear: Sugar Shane wants a piece of Khan next year for a possible decent payday.
Meanwhile, the Inquisitr indicated that Money was turned off by Khan's consistent yapping and begging for a fight. The Briton's constant mention of the pay-per-view king's name in his recent interviews said to have drawn the ire of Mayweather, which was allegedly the main reason why the latter would not want anything to do with him.
Mayweather's uncle and trainer Jeff said that Khan "got under Floyd's skin enough for him" to decide that he will not give the current WBC Silver welterweight titlist the chance to face in the ring. His nephew reportedly wants to deny Khan of the opportunity to earn what Floyd's past opponents have earned in fighting him.
It is accurate, though, that fighting Mosley would not present Khan the remuneration that he would have earned in fighting the number one boxer in the world right now.
Aside from Mayweather and Khan, Mosley mentioned several other boxers in his recent social media tirade, as per Bleacher Report. Names such as Kell Brook, Shawn Porter, and Adrien Broner were publicly cited, leading boxing pundits to think that Sugar is simply drumming up interest for his PPV fight with Mayorga next month.
