    Shane wasnt caught by a good punch?

    Really did YOU watch the fight?

    I know he whooped his ass you ******. I was refering to Shanes chin. When I said sometimes you get hit with a good punch.

    I cant stand these ******ed ****s who try to run in threads acting like Bert Sugar. Go back where the **** you came from.

      If you use that kind of logic, you can say pretty much every amazing shot in history was a "lucky" punch.

      Vernon just got off first.

      And he also had the benefit of having bad intentions behind every shot he threw that night.

      I'm still amazed when I revisit that fight that Shane made it the distance.

        Why do people like to forget that Shane was involved in a nasty clash of heads before that? i have never seen him come anywhere near to being stopped apart from that

          Anyway M.I.B what Im saying is that just because Cotto caught him good doesnt mean everytime he gets hard he'll crumble. Thats all Im saying. Like I said sometimes you just get hit with a good punch.

          I think Alvarez can take Shane out. I could see if vs. Mora he showed some power but I didnt even see that. I mean Mora was laughing at him.

            That fight was what 7-8 years ago?

            Sometimes that chin just goes. Look at Margarito and Baldomir.

              You're using the most bland kind of logic known to man, to prop up a flimsy argument about an unproven ginger headed Mexican knocking out one of the greatest fightesr of the last 15 years.

              "Sometimes you get caught with a good punch".

              That's the most simplistic statement you can say about boxing, period.

              That's like saying

              "Sometimes you get paint on you" about painting.

              Regardless, no way in hell is Alvarez seasoned or skilled enough to blast out Mosley, not now, not 6 months from now.

              Shane would have to fall off a hell of a lot more than he has thus far, for that to happen.

                No its not. A good punch is what Cotto landed vs. Alvarez. It was a perfect shot and Alvarez was a little shook by it. It doesnt mean he has a glass chin and anyone who touches him will KO him.

                Being seasoned or highly skilled isnt necessary for beating this version of Shane Mosley. I seen a Prime Shane before, I seen a Past it Shane before. Agaisnt mora I saw a Shane that was finished.

                No footwork, no stamina, no speed, no power. He did nothing and arguably lost 8-9 rounds to Mora and thats being nice.

                  Shane has really gone down hill in his past two fights and he even sounds punchy at times. He's gone, shot!

                  This fight would resemble DLH-Chavez I. Alvarez is the young hungry Mexican fighter up the upside of his career, has decent ring experience, and obviously the 'fresher' fighter. Mosley is arguably an ATG fighter but time and all the wars he fought have caught up with him and his punches are not as hard, especially at the higher weight class jr mw...

                  The fight itself would probably be very competitive early going but Alvarez just over powers Shane...






                  Having said that, I would not be surprised if Mosley had one more career defining figth left in him and beat the younger greener fighter...

                    I mean - I see where you're coming from. Shane's definitely beyond his best years at this point in his career.

                    But I think it'd be throwing Alvarez to the wolves right now.

                    Shane might be in the poorest shape of his career but I'd still take the poorest version of Shane Mosley over any version of Alvarez up to this point.

                      I will say this much though. To me Shane looked dry and fat. Especially in the face and in his upper body. Part of me thinks that he was out of shape. Maybe that played a part in how he look and he isnt as shot as I think.

                      Or he he just didnt get up for Mora. Right after the fight he wanted Cotto, Pac, Marg and Floyd. So maybe thats the case. But the longer it takes for that potential to fight to get made the less shot to win Shane has IMO.
