One of the first big fights of the year, 'Sugar' Shane Mosley against Andre Berto, has been called off after Berto lost several members of his extended family in the Haitian earthquake. The news left him physically and emotionally drained and unsurprisingly he couldn't find the motivation to train or focus on the fight.
Tragedies such as that which has befallen Haiti, already a country on its knees, certainly put sport in perspective.
Mosley, coming off the back of an impressive win over Antonio Margarito (albeit almost a year ago) may now face Floyd Mayweather after the latter's superfight with Pacquiao hit the buffers earlier this month.
