He's coming off a HORRIBLEY one-sided loss to an old Vernon Forrest, and a win over an absolute nobody.
Not to mention the fact that he never was anybody, and his only victory of ANY note was over a faded Vernon Forrest who basically proved their first fight was a fluke when he beat Mora senseless in the rematch.
And ON TOP of all this, Mora can't sell for ****. He isnt popular at all. And the people who DO kno he exists seem to strongly dislike him.
Meanwhile Mosley was THE weltherweight champ less then 4 months ago, and is coming of a loss against one of the best fighters of this era in a fight that he had a lot of success in early.

Im going to ASSUME they picked Mora cause he has some Spanish roots somewhere and its on Mexican Independence day and whatever, and they feel this will help sell tickets for a fight thats tough to sell...
... But what about a fight against Angulo (a REAL mexican) for a non-title fight at 154.
That fight just makes so much sense to me at this point. Not as much sense as Cotto-Angulo, but still. Mosley-Angulo is a CLASSIC crossroads match and it would be a great war considering both guys styles and Mosley's age.

I just dont get boxing. When they arent making fights for the fans, they are making the for the money. And when they arent making fights for the money, they STILL aren't making them for the fans??? Just non-sensical really
