I dont want to act like he is something unreal and I do think Canelo has a lot of talent but at this point in their careers I really feel Mosley has nothing left and Canelo would have too much energy and endurance to beat him. Discuss............
No, no way actually. Shane is still too smart and fast enough to beat a still very raw Saul Alvarez. I think people read way too much into the fights against Mayweather (hard to look good against Floyd, and he actually managed to hurt him, which was quite an achievement) and Mora (not his weight class and very uncomfortable opponent, simple as that, and I think he actually won a close fight). Shane is still a P4P fighter.
i have been saying this for weeks now.....good post

c'mon man, he couldn't even put away an old n'dou.
No one can put away N'Dou and no one will probably. He has certainly not being close to being stopped by anyone.
Anyway, right now if they fought? I would take Alvarez. Mosley could get lucky and win by early KO, but after a few rounds now, he is done. His speed is all but gone and by the fourth round or so he is slow, weak and exhausted.
From the way he looked against Money and Mora I would even go so far as to say that Alvarez could stop him in the late rounds. The one thing that N'Dou easily equals Mosley in is his chin and defense and I would say that both are better than Mosley's are at this stage.
N'Dou covers up very well and is one of the toughest SOBs in boxing today. Alvarez put a pretty brutal beating on him, especially in the late rounds, and I could see Mosley much more exhausted than NDou and taking more punishment and clean hits if he wasn't able to take Alzarez out early, which I highly doubt to be honest.
What happened n the Mora fight after 4 rounds?
People keep saying Mosley gasses but the only fight we've seen him gas is the Floyd fight
Thats because Mora had on his track shoes until he noticed that Mosleys tank was on empty. Floyd brought the fight to him and made him work, expect Alvarez to do the same thing (young legs, quick handed, good counter puncher ect). Shane hasn't been the same since Margarito. His stamina is now questionable and he looks physically old in the ring. Even the Mosley that fought Vargas destroys SERGIO MORA.
Well Alvarez is better than Mora and we seen what happened there. Fact of the matter is, Shane can't fight fast paced for no more than 4 rounds these days and i see Alvarez as being too young, too strong and having too much tools for Shane at this point.

Canelo is 3-5 years too young to fight any big names in boxing. I've seen a couple of his fights and he's nothing to get excited about yet. Stop the hype.

All Canelo would have to do is fight awkwardly and keep snapping that jab out with that mean right following the jab. Oh, and lots of clinching, and using his size advantage.
I'd pick Mosley landing a serious shot and badly hurting Canelo. With a bit more experience, Canelo can do it. Tough choice. I see how Canelo has a chance, but he's still inexperienced. Jabs, 1-2's and movement can beat Shane over 12.
But if I had to bet, I'd pick Mosley via early round TKO. He'd land a flush shot to Canelo's chin, get him in trouble and finish him off Margarito-style.
hell no like 15 more fights then he should be ready. i really dont think he should fight hard fights till like 2-3 years from now.
lol at Mosley being a hard fight. Luciano Cuello would beat Mosley
This is true but I have not seen Alvarez in yet with a good enough opponent to convince me he could beat an old Mosley.
c'mon man, he couldn't even put away an old n'dou.
Alvarez is too green, Mosley is too old. Who knows.

Hey whats the rush people Canelo is only 20, He will be everyones daddy in a few years, IMo he will retire Mosely if they fight in late 2011. Mosely is shot though!! Canelo is the future everyone ,por favor believe it!!!
im not really sure what everyone sees in alvarez or why he's being annointed the next big star in boxing. still havent been impressed with him and i would pick mosley to KO him
