Shane Mosley vs Canelo Alvarez

[Evil Abed]

lol, I went for Shane in that one.

But Alvarez is big, fast, powerful... and... and.... intelligent. Unlike Margarito.

That why I'm choosing him as well.

But Mosley has never loss to someone of Mexican descent.

Mosley may have a Anti-Mexican gene. He's the Mexican Kryptonite.

bring your diapers shane....

if shane has any self respect he has left in his body, he should handle canelo without looking like a complete B!TCH....

The general thoughts on this fight are reminding me of when people thought Margarito would retire Shane.


Hmmmmmm.

As a canelo fan, this is what is in the back of my mind.

Dont sleep on mosley Canelo.

[turbotime]

War Mosley! Springin' the upset!

Kinda wanted to see this fight.......and no doubt it was going to get made sooner or later, might as well be ASAP...get it out of the way. All fighters who are being groomed for stardom need these types of matchups

And since a lot of people feel like Canelo is overrated then logic should dictate that this fight could be closer than you'd think.

You can't have people saying he's a fraud then turn around and think he's going to blow away an established, yet over-the-hill professional in Mosley. Frauds inevitablely get weeded out in boxing, even in fights like this where you'd think it's a total mismatch...

It's not that bad of fight for Canelo at 21 yrs old....understandably, it's hard for some to swallow because of the fact he has that belt and Mosley is getting a shot at it

Otherwise, this is a perfect fight for his resume - obviously it's a name casuals can point to. For us hardcore fans....maybe he won't be pushed to the limits in this, but Shane is going to find him.....and it's still a test to see if he can take power like Shane has and find a way to be the only one to KO him, and to see how his speed matches up with even a diminished Mosley.

Should have lost to Oscar.

Should have lost to Oscar.

The Kryptonite infected the judges.

Summary: Shane has a punchers chance

I think peopel who are thinking its a white wash are kinda saying that Canelo is on Floyd and Pac's level.

But yet they call him a bum.

And don't give me the Mora BS. That guy is just crazy awkward for anyone.
