ThyOneTruePrince: How do you feel HBO KO Nation has generally impacted the Boxing "business" as a whole? Do you feel there are more fans prone to it now then before etc.?

Shane Mosley: I feel there's more fans that watch me, because of HBO, yes.

LennoxChinaChin: Is Six Heads a legit threat to Mosley?

Shane Mosley: Any fighter that jumps in the ring with me would be a legit threat, so I would have to say yes.

KO Nation: Thanks to Shane Mosley for joining us. Angel Manfredy is joining us live!

YOE26: Who will you fight next? You think you are still as good as you used to be?

Angel Manfredy: Right now, we are looking at Spadafora, probably Camacho Jr. at 140 at the end of the year, but right now our objective is to win the world title first, to fight Camacho Jr. at 140, then go back down to 135.

Sigma: Who is your role model?

Angel Manfredy: Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Radius: Are you still motivated to fight, just as much as you've always been?

Angel Manfredy: I'm more motivated than ever now, I'm hungry now. I see a lot of things at a lot of fights that are on TV that shouldn't be on TV. I want back what I lost. The fighters in today's era aren't showing me nothing. I'm waiting to go out and just destroy anyone who steps in front of me in Jesus' name.

Nighty: hi Angel, would you like to move up in weight class to fight better opponents and get a title shot?

Angel Manfredy: Right now, I'm staying at 135. Staying at lightweight. But they are talking about a Camacho Jr. fight at the end of the year, so we'll see. I won't go down to 130, I made a mistake and did that before, I won't do that again.

Giggles: How long will you continue to fight?

Angel Manfredy: Well, right now, I'm only 26, I'm young, and I'm more hungry than ever. I don't know, the only one who knows is my Lord and Savior, my God.

ILoveBoxing: This question is for Angel. just as a joke, what would you think if they had like a one time special thing of superfeatherweights versus heavyweights say for a fundraising entertainment thing. (which of course won't happen)

Angel Manfredy: LOL! I laugh!

Tisha: Angel, coming back to hall of fame this year in June?

Angel Manfredy: God willing. If it's God's will, I will be there.

ManfredyFan: Hey Angel, I know you've had your share of titles including the WBU superfeatherweight title, etc.etc. How many have you held all together and which one meant the most to you?

Angel Manfredy: You know what? I just don't look at one fight. Right now, what happened in my past, I'm more determined than ever right now as a fighter. When I was champion, I was champion. Now, I'm ready to regain that world title.

ManfredyFan: Hey Angel, is the WBU superfeatherweight title the only one you've won? Which time did it mean the most to you?

Angel Manfredy: I beat a guy who was the IBF champion. Right now, none of them. Right now I'm reaching my prime, my best. I feel my best is yet to come, and it's coming. It's coming very soon!
