    Mosley is one of the die hard fighters. Most people didn't think that he could beat Margarito but he knocked him out so do you think that he can make another upset against Canelo?

    He has a decent chance because Alvarez doesn't have a lot of head movement, just depends if Shane comes to win n not for a payday, I'm gonna put a bet on him because the odds are good lol

    Here is my reasoning.

    Watch Alvarez vs Gomez. Alfonso frequently stepped to the side which Alvarez had little answer too, little Alfonso landed right hands, but due to have Paulie-esque punching power couldn't do much damage.

    Watch Mosley vs Pacquaio. Mosley steps to the side, but doesn't pull the trigger. Shane won't be nearly as intimidated by Alvarez as he was Pacquaio, unless Canelo knocks him down early.

    I expect Shane to turn Alvarez and crack him with a hard right hand, over and over and there is still some power there, I'm certain. There's also rumours of Shane having had damage to the ligiments in his heel/ankle/foot for the Pacquaio fight, which may or may not be true.

    Kermit Cintron was gun shy and he stunned Alvarez with a right hand, if Shane turns up with a killer instinct, he'll end the Alvarez hype train.

    Mosley has a shot, i dont think he is as done as ppl on here claim, he just lost to Floyd and Manny, how many people are better than them

    Mosley also has an ability to save his career time and time again

    Canelo has flaws, Gomez showed some footwork and defense and Canelo was puzzled, also a desperate 1 legged Cintron hurt him bad

    Canelos best asset is his hand speed its fast and it keeps guys at bay

    the answer will come early, can Mosley handle the fast hands of a unique and wide offense of Canelo

    or will he be too afraid to get by the hand speed and land, will he go thru fire to land or will he be timid and lose

    depends on Mosleys mentality to take risks for the win and go for it

    if he can suck it up for 12 rounds, and forget about the pain, and fire his shots with frequency, he should be good


    But then again, all his testosterone will be gone thanks to Bella Gonzalez

    If Mosley gets caught early in the fight, he might run away all night like he did against Pac but if he boxes and waits for an opportunity to land his punches then he will have a chance to beat Canelo.

    with any luck he will be defensive early thus off setting Canelo like Gomez did

    has to move jab and stay in good position

    I dont think this will be a repeat of the Margarito fight. I think it will be a young fighter beating an old man to get a name on his resume. Common theme in boxing unfortunately.

    1/5 chance. If he can hit some power shots and scare Canelo into backpedalling, he could get a narrow decision. But the judges would probably rig the cards anyway.

    Mosley has only lost to the too best p4p fighters in the world, So I think he has a chance for the upset.

    If Mosley looks as hungry and full of fire as he did vs Margarito, then he has a damn good chance against Canelo. If he looks like a lamb like he did vs Mayweather and Pacquiao (which I'm guessing he will) then he doesn't have much of a chance. I think Mosley may have accepted his role as a gatekeeper now.
