There's no shame in him losing to the Pacquiao's, Mayweather's and Alvarez' of the world, but we all know he shouldn't be fighting those caliber guys at this stage. He shouldn't consider anyone above a Cory Spinks or Josesito Lopez type fight. The only interesting high profile fight I'd see for Mosley at this point if he can first come back with a win is against Cotto II. The first fight was competitive, many thought Mosley pulled it out, and both guys have faded quite a bit since then. Actually a Mosley/Bundrage fight wouldn't be bad... two older guys one past it and one seemingly doing ok.

I don't want to see Mosley as an opponent for any of these up and coming guys though like Keith Thurman. As long as Mosley knows his place and doesn't rely on his name for bigger fights I don't have a problem with him continuing for a handful of fights.

He's mentioned Malignaggi...what do you think of that?


Crazily enough, he can win this one and is then a three time welterweight champion and set for more big pay days. It's hard to tell a fighter to retire when he can lose three in a row but still be able to cherry pick titles and find himself back in the mix.

I really don't like Malignaggi for Mosley at this stage. I'd actually take him to decision Mosley. Malignaggi has too much movement which at this stage would frustrate Mosley and make him look foolish at times. Mosley doesn't have much left in his legs and I don't see him effectively cutting off the ring. Malignaggi would cruise to a solid UD I think. Mosley could take some risks since Paulie hits like a girl and has a chance of catching him, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

You also have to wonder at 40+ if Mosley can comfortably make 147 now and still be able to perform in the ring. 154 might be where he needs to stay for his last run.
