Shane Mosley's Twitter has become pretty amazing

"Sugar" Shane Mosley was a pretty soft-spoken fighter. He's done with all that nonsense.

A little over 24 hours ago, we posted about Shane Mosley's Twitter account, which had suddenly come alive with all sorts of great thoughts from "Sugar" Shane, who said that Mayweather won't fight him now because of politics, that he would "Bernard Hopkins" Keith Thurman's "ass," that he was hurt when he fought Mayweather in 2010, and that he doesn't care about Canelo vs Kirkland, as it "seems lame."

With people reacting pretty well to the out of left field outbursts of Mosley, 43, he's keeping it going, and last night got pretty special.

First of all, let's confirm that this is Shane Mosley (it is - it's a verified account and he's photo tweeted and all that):

(I'm not at all making light of this tweet, Mosley was a beast lightweight and this is a fight I've thought about a lot. I favor Duran clearly, but I love the idea of it.)
