    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.

        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.

              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.

                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.
