But I still think Mosley is a live dog here. It really depends whether Mosley’s lethargic performance against Mayorga was because the fight was at 154 (and frankly, over the past 5 years, Mosley has always been much more active and had better stamina at 147 than at 154). If he can keep pace like he did in the Cotto fight, and if he fights smart and doesn’t try to brawl (like he has a tendency to do), then he could outbox Margarito, much like Cotto did in the first half of his fight against Margarito. In addition, we all know that Mosley has a much better chin than Cotto, so that makes it less likely he’d get knocked out late. His biggest challenge will be to avoid taking too much damage to the body. If he can do that, maintain his quickness advantage and maintain his stamina, he has a legitimate shot at winning.

Dan Goosen provided Yahoo with copies of his offer letter for a minimum $4M guaranteed to Margarito for a Williams fight, as well as the response from Bob Arum saying that he wouldn’t make a fight with Williams because of the breakdown in negotiations for a Williams-Pavlik fight.

So maybe Margarito didn’t ‘duck’ Williams, but it certainly wasn’t a fake offer like Arum has publicly implicated.

What is awesome is that it is going to be on regular HBO, on WCB.
