By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer will be setting 41-year-old former three division world champion Shane Mosley (46-8-1, 39 KO’s) with an arguably much undeserved title shot against WBA World welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO’s) on April 27 despite the fact that Mosley isn’t ranked in the top 15 by any of the sanctioning bodies, hasn’t won a fight in four years and has lost three out of his last four fights.
Schaefer still feels okay with matching Mosley with Malignaggi and having Mosley leap from over all of the top 15 contenders in the World Boxing Association rankings so that he can get a title shot against Malignaggi. Schafer says that if Mosley doesn’t produce he won’t promote another one of his fights again.
