The Racket Squad: The Amazing Faith Of Shane Mosley
Shane has been granted an amazing gift. He is perceived, after 3 horrid performances, to still have one final triumph within him after 4 decades of living.
There are surely men that Mosely could still stand victorious over.
Unfortunately, Saul is not one of them.
Alvarez is by no means my pick as the next 'prodigy' as dictated by the sometimes overbearing Max Kellerman
But he is a talented young man, half the age of the payday seeking ex champ, and has the will that youth engages to overcome the flaws that currently haunt his game. His footwork is uneven, he is there to be struck as Gomez proved before he tired and he falls asleep at the wheel when pressed.
The problem is that Shane has nothing left in his aged arsenal to combat those deficets. Strength and desire that have kept Canelo unbeaten.
Of course he also has his Promotional team to thank for this streak he is on.
Saul has yet to face a man in his prime who can honestly test the youngsters over all grit.
And so when the initial press release stated that Canelo would face either Mosely or Kirkland next, we all knew that it was never to be anyone other then the once great Shane.
'Sugar' may display some of the moves that made him famous for 3 to six minutes, but after 3 frames he will out of gas, time and excuses.
Everyone loves an underdog.
But do you really think that Golden Boy would jeopardize their most significant cash cow just when the payoff could loom large.
If anyone knows what Mosely has left, it is Oscar.
Floyd made Shane want to quit.
Alvarez will use the simplicity of youth to end a career in the manner that Louis , Robinson, Tyson and so many others faced.
James Brown said that ultimately, 'Money Won't Change You But Time Will Take You On.'
Amen to that wisdom.
I love a happy ending as much as the next guy, but the 47 year old B-Hop has a better chance at upsetting the inconsistent Chad Dawson then Shane has in defying gravity when he collapses.
Youth will be served. Don't go betting the rent money on the fantasy that 'Sugar' Shane has one last magnificent KO victory in him.
Pipe Dreams die hard.
