Devon Alexander likes the idea of a bout with Shane Mosley

By Dallan O’ Donnell: According to Devon Alexander’s camp on Twitter, Alexander himself would love to fight future hall of famer “Sugar” Shane Mosley. We knew a surge of fighters would come forward wanting to fight Mosley after his defeat to Saul Alvarez on Saturday. Mosley was beaten convincingly on the night but to his credit fought his way to the final bell.

After Saturday many fighters would love to have a win against Mosley on their record Alexander is just the first to come forward. But if the fight is made what has Alexander achieved? He would be taking no risks in fighting Mosley, whose power seems to have left him.

Alvarez proved in his victory that Mosley is well past his prime and isn’t really a genuine challenger. Alexander was at one stage a huge prospect for the future but for one reason or another he has stepped under the radar and behind other fighter’s shadows. Fighting Shane Mosley would give any fighter a lot of exposure as it would be on a big PPV card as an undercard fight so in that way it is a good match making by Team Alexander. He would undoubtedly win the fight if it were ever to happen. But I hope Mosley decides to retire rather than carry on his suburb career.

Kevin Cunningham, the manager/trainer of Alexander said that he would like Mosley in St. Louis on August 18th as Alexander has that date booked with Showtime. Cunningham was asked about a possible match with Paulie Malignaggi but he quickly changed the subject to Mosley.

I wonder why? Who should Alexander fight next? Should Mosley carry on his career? Follow me on Twitter and let me know, @dallan09
