===Third return at welterweight=== ====Mosley vs. Pacquiao==== {{Main|Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley}} On May 7, 2011, Mosley lost the fight to [[Manny Pacquiao]] for the [[WBO]] welterweight title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Rapper [[LL Cool J]] performed as Mosley first entered the arena, while vocalist [[Jimi Jamison]] of the rock band [[Survivor (band)|Survivor]] sang "[[Eye of the Tiger]]" as Pacquiao approached the ring. Pacquiao knocked Mosley down in the third round using a one-two capped with a left straight. Mosley was left dazed by the knockdown but managed to stand up.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-boxing-pacquiao-idUSTRE74709120110508|title=Pacquiao easily beats Mosley to retain WBO title|date=May 8, 2011|access-date=May 8, 2011|work=Reuters}}</ref> Mosley floored Pacquiao in the tenth round with a push, but referee [[Kenny Bayless]] inexplicably ruled it a knockdown. None of the judges seemed to have bought it judging from the scores. Replays showed that Pacquiao was throwing a punch off balance, had his right foot stepped on by Mosley's left foot and went down with a little help from Mosley's right hand. Bayless apologized to Pacquiao after the fight for the mistake. Pacquiao gained one-sided verdicts from all three judges (119–108, 120–108, and 120–107).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.inquirer.net/breakingnews/breakingnews/view/20110508-335322/Pacquiao-beats-Mosley-to-retain-WBO-crown|title=Pacquiao beats Mosley to retain WBO crown|date=May 8, 2011|publisher=Inquirer.net|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110512060414/http://sports.inquirer.net/breakingnews/breakingnews/view/20110508-335322/Pacquiao-beats-Mosley-to-retain-WBO-crown|archive-date=May 12, 2011|url-status=dead|access-date=May 8, 2011}}</ref> Due to Mosley's defeat, Pacquiao looked at a November 12, 2011, match-up, a third fight with [[Juan Manuel Márquez]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/606180-manny-pacquiao-vs-juan-manuel-marquez-trilogy-planned-for-november |title=Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Márquez Trilogy Planned for November.
