    I wish Mosely would retire. He was one of my favourite fighters over the last decade but his last fight was a sparring session that he just wanted to survive and after two rounds against Mayweather he didnt do a thing. He is shot.

    As said by others - the real fight out there is Alvarez v Kirkland

    Alfredo Angulo would have been better.

    It's a terrible fight against an unranked shot fighter who's not won for 3 years.

    Almost as bad as margo getting a shot at cotto but atleast then there was a revenge angle.

    This is a great matchup for Mosley because he's been eating up these strong come forward punching Mexicans for years. He could very well do the same to young Canelo. This will be a nice scrap for as long as it lasts.

    You're selling Mosley short in terms of entertainment value.

    The Vargas fights (particularly the first) were entertaining. The Collazo fightr was a good effort put forth from Shane. And the Mayorga fight had about as dramatic an ending as one could hope for.

    I don't think Mosley will win, but Alvarez is easy to hit and isn't exactly tested himself. Mosley's last three fights were against really fast guys that aren't always the easiest guys to hit flush. He may have some moments against Canelo.

    It all depends on the start if he has continued success he will stick at it but Mosely seams to lose heart very quickly these days. It will be an interesting fight I think.

    I'm okay with them using it as an undercard fight.

    Mosley jumped ship from GBP to Top Rank to make the Pac fight and now he's back Oscar's feeding him to his young lion in revenge!!
    On a serious note this is a horrible fight. Mosley will come to survive, he doesnt through enough punches anymore and Alvarez will most probably look **** in coasting to a points win. Would rather have seen Rodriguez, who would have snapped their hand off for the money their paying Mosley no doubt. Can't see GBP wanting the Kirkland fight anytime soon either. Can't see the point of this at all

    Canelo had opened up as a 1-10 odds on favourite.
