    Canelo's never been hurt or wobbled like that in his entire career. And he's been in there with far bigger punchers than Mayweather ever has. There's nothing great about getting rocked repeatedly by well past his best Shane Mosley and needing to hold on desperately to survive.

    Check Canelo’s fight with Miguel Cotto’s brother. Floyd did not hold on rather he took it to Mosely and beat the crap out of him.

    Based on that fight prime Floyd would have literally murdered Mosley. We now understood why Mosley turned down the fight then due to a dental appointment or some other BS

    Not even sure why your bringing up Canelo as he has nothing to do with this thread, but hey, that "well past his best" Mosley accomplished more against Mayweather in those few flush hits than Canelo ever did.

    Against Cotto's brother, he wasn't out of it flailing around holding on for dear life like Mayweather was against Shane. Also that was a very young Canelo. He wasn't in his prime or a top P4P fighter like Mayweather was against a past it Shane.
