What if Shane Mosley will have a tune-up fight with Enamuel Augustus ?

Question

Mosley will need a tune-up for Mayorga

Answer 1

That won't happen, and Shane Mosley does not really need a tuneup for Ricardo Mayorga.  Mayorga is basically the equivalent to a heavybag; if anything, Mayorga needs a tuneup for someone like Mosley because he really does not have a prayer in this fight.  Emanuel Augustus would make a good tuneup fight, but the simple fact is that neither Mosley nor Mayorga need to take a tuneup.  Floyd Mayweather, Jr. used Augustus as a tuneup fight years ago and he stated that Augustus gave him his toughest fight.  Mosley would beat Augustus easily, but with Mayorga, I actually would give Augustus a decent shot at beating him, although I do think that Mayorga would win.  Mosley or Mayorga do not want to take a chance at ruining their big money fight against each other by fighting Augustus, because there is always a chance of an upset (even if that chance is extremely small).  Plus, Augustus is currently a junior welterweight while Mayorga and Mosley are both welterweights/junior middleweights..
