    Yes.

    Shane will get beaten handily here and if he does carry on he may be relgated to gatekeeper status for younger stars like Alvarez.

    I think Saul will revive Shane's career. This will be an easy KO win for Mosley. It's gonna be like Mosley vs Margarito. Alvarez has no head movement.

    He could but I just hope Shane comes to fight not just for the check. Don't need two sour performances from him in a row with no will to win. This also is his worse weight and worse he's ever looked in his career so if anyone has pressure on themselves to do well its Alvarez. Hopefully he does well but it would be an accomplishment if he stopped him though I wouldn't give him full credit cuz Shane is shot.

    If Shane loses, I hope he does retire.

    Shane is probably going to lose, and maybe even get stopped.
    But if I learned one thing in boxing, most boxers don't retire at the right time... either way too early or way too late.

    Yes.

    It's actually a skill in itself knowing when it's the right time to hang them up.

    Well, I'm a pretty big Mosley supporter and this is his last chance. He hasn't shown any desire to win in his last 3 fights and age has nothing to do with that. He just needs to be himself and risk exchanges...while risking a possible TKO loss in the process...to get back in most fans good graces.

    So, to answer your question...Yes, Mosley's career as a PPV attraction will be over if he loses in one-sided fashion to Canelo. However, he can hold his head high and retire with his pride and legacy intact if he just shows fans that he's trying to give them their money's worth...win or lose.
