    No, one-sided UD.

    Alvarez goes onto fight Floyd in Nov, Mosley gets used as cannon-fodder for someone like Brook or Khan next.

    I think if he was as good as he was in the Margarito fight he has the potential to win it. He matches up well with Alvarez stylistically, who is very strong and reasonable schooled but straight up and down in straight lines.

    Unfortunately he's lost all his speed and timing if recent bouts are an indication, which also means he's lost his power. That being the case its hard to see him outboxing and getting a decision over a guy at 40 years old.

    Might have a bit of Shane at 10/1 by stoppage but expect alvarez will win a UDl.

    Think SS gets a bit too much heat about being shot...he looked good against cotto and marg and other than mora what did we really expect recently.

    If gomez can land on Saul..then moseley can. its a q of how often he throws

    His timing and balance is all gone and thus his power is irrelevant.

    Alvarez ain't no defensive wizard though so in the first 3 rounds(while Shane's recent horrible stamina holds up) Mosley might have a chance to land a Hail Mary.

    Give him better chances than most but would still favor Alvarez.
