abs-cbnNEWS.com Former world champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley wants to prove his critics wrong when he goes toe-to-toe against 8-division champion Manny Pacquiao this coming May.

Mosley told ABS-CBN’s Dyan Castillejo that he is out dispel reports that he’s become a “washed out fighter” and already at the twilight of his career.

“This will not be my last fight,” said the former World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight champion. “I want to prove to people I still have it.”

Mosley’s selection as Pacquiao’s next opponent has drawn flak from several boxing analysts, who said the bout is merely a “money fight”.

Unlike other possible opponents for Pacquiao like Juan Manuel Marquez and Andre Berto, the 39-year-old Mosley is coming off a loss and a draw from his last two fights.

However, Mosley said he will still be able to give the 32-year-old Pacquiao "war" because of their fighting styles.

“It’s going to be a war, ‘cause styles make fights. It’s going to be really exciting fight,” said Mosley.

“Manny has speed and power, I have speed and power,” he added.

Mosley said he remains a dangerous fighter because he is hungry for a win.

In May last year, he stunned the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. with two vicious shots to the head in the second round of their welterweight fight.

Mayweather, however, battled on in the remaining rounds to beat him by points.

Four months later, Mosley fought Sergio Mora, the first champion of NBC’s boxing reality show “The Contender.” The fight ended in a controversial split draw.

Mosley said he is well aware that Pacquiao is a dangerous fighter.

"I respect Manny, a true warrior. [He] gives 100%,” he said.

Mosley claimed the one who fights intelligently will win.

“It’s going to be a real test of the mind,” said Mosley. “With the way we both fight, it will surely end in a knockout.”

The Pacquiao-Mosley fight is due to take place on May 7 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mosley said he will undergo 6 weeks of training in Big Bear, California to prepare against the reigning pound-for-pound king.
