hane Mosley (46-6, 39 KO’s) may not have been thinking straight when he chose former World Boxing Council junior middleweight champion Sergio Mora (22-1, 6 KO’s) to fight on September 18th, instead of someone from his own weight class who is more likely to stand in front of him and give him a traditional fight. Mosley will be turning 39 next month on September 7th, and looked dreadful in his last fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., losing by a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision by the scores of 119-109, 118-110 and 119-109 on May 1st. Fans of Mosley point out that Mayweather often makes his opponents look bad, but Mosley didn’t just look bad, he looked old and tired. He looked like a textbook version of a shot fighter. And this is why it seems kind of weird that Mosley would fight a hit and run type fighter like Mora. He’s like a bigger, slower version of Mayweather. Mora makes guys look bad and is very slippery in the way he is able to get out of the way of punches. If this was a young Mosley, I’d still think he was crazy for fighting a guy like Mora rather than someone more popular and predictable like Berto. Maybe Mosley has some kind of fatalistic attraction, where he’s picking out the fighter that he would have the most trouble beating.
