By Thomas Gerbasi - Shane Mosley never made it to 39-0 like his Saturday opponent, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who also has a draw on that otherwise spotless record. But when he entered the ring at Madison Square Garden’s Theater to face Vernon Forrest in January of 2002, 38-0 was enough to make the then-welterweight and former lightweight champion feel like that “0” would last forever. “It was a good time in my career,” Mosley told BoxingScene. “I felt that I was unstoppable and felt nobody could beat me. I felt that I was gonna go on to be undefeated.” The great ones always do. It’s why you hear this weekend’s main eventer, Floyd Mayweather, go on incessantly about his unbeaten record, almost considering his fight with Miguel Cotto to be a done deal before the opening bell even sounds. Mosley lost that night to the late Forrest via unanimous decision, and six more defeats have followed.

Typically, when you talk to trainer Naazim Richardson, you will leave your interview chalked full of sound bites and with a definite sense of insight into whatever topic was at hand. Such is the way with the North Philadelphia trainer, as Richardson almost speaks in riddles and comes across just as much as a Zen master as one of the game’s top coaches

WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0-1, 29KOs) is ready to face "Sugar" Shane Mosley on Saturday night. On Tuesday, Canelo arrived at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, where he faces Mosley. Canelo arrived in black limousine with his team and he was quickly mobbed by a huge crowd of fans. Canelo took some time out to take pictures and sign autographs with his fans who were waiting impatiently.

There's a saying in the States that old fighters don't die, they fade away before our eyes. Shane Mosley's latest vanishing mission takes place this Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Even in a sport as awash with contrived and half-baked titles as boxing, Mosley, who make no mistake was a wonderful, three-weight world champion, has had way more than his fair share of second chances.

Undefeated WBC 154-pound world champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0-1, 29KOs) is a few days away from the biggest defense of his career. On Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, he faces former three division world champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley. Alvarez has continued training at a private gym in Las Vegas to remain in excellent physical shape.

Moments ago inside of the main lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, four participants for this weekend’s ‘Ring Kings’ event made their grand arrivals to the city of Las Vegas. It was a packed scene as former three-division champion ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley was first to arrive, followed thirty or so minutes later by WBC junior middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The 40-year old Mosley will challenge Alvarez, a world champion at just 21 years of age, on Saturday night.

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - When most say delusional, he says determined. When most say excuses, he says evidence. And when most say wannabe, he says warrior. Clearly when it comes to making a case for yet another place on yet another pay-per-view show from Las Vegas this weekend, Shane Mosley is swimming against the current of public opinion. But just as it’s been for nearly every lingering ex-champion still clamoring for a last shot at the big time, the now 19-year pro remains quick to plead a case why for why he still belongs – in spite of a winless stretch that will have reached 1,097 days by the time he taps gloves with Saul Alvarez. “Because I’m 100 percent this time. Because I didn’t go to training camp hurt,” he said, explaining away the 0-2-1 skid since a ninth-round TKO of Antonio Margarito – on the night the Mexican was caught in the locker room with illegal hand wraps. “There’s a big difference in the way you prepare if you go to camp and you’re trying to heal yourself, rather than getting ready for the fight. “This time, I was ready. I was able to go all-out and it’s made me more sharp.”
