Mosley-Alvarez May 5th, 2012 @ MGM Grand-Who wins and how?

Mosley doesn't have a will to fight anyone anymore. Did you remember what he said before fighting Pacquiao? He said that he's going to shock the world. Yeah.. I really think he did that by running away all night.

 

The guy who fights to win so I'm going with Alvarez. Mosley is done people and may not get stopped but he'll look for a way out as soon as he gets hurt. And forget this "Alvarez is a prospect" talk. Around 40 fights a fighter is a veteran and/or champion. He's not a prospect he's just a heavily protected GBP fighter who is decent but we won't know how good until he starts fighting people with a pulse and come to win and Mosley does not qualify for either.

 

Canelo could not stop matthew hatton, mosley is a step up from hatton even at this stage of his career.

 

154, old Mosley will gas in a few rounds and then eat enough leather to get stopped sometime later in the fight.

 

Alvarez via Mosley being completely and utterly shot to ****. Even the aged Mosley of 2009 would have destroyed this GBP Hype Job because he has no Chin, no defense, and he's not even that physically gifted. However, he does have a pretty good sense of punch selection, he has a nice jab, a good left hook, decent power, and most importantly he will throw punches when Mosley either won't or can't. It won't shock me if Shane lands something big early and completely destroys Oscar's latest gravy train but the more likely outcome is that Alvarez shows him no respect, lands some hard shots early, and then spends the rest of the time chasing a guy whose fire has gone out and who lacks the timing and reflexes to make his punches count.

 

Shane will just be looking for that one big punch, maybe he will land it.

As soon as Canelo starts putting a beating on Shane, he's going to be walking back. He will get stopped.

 

I don't think Canelo knocks him out, but I think Shane quits. I hope i'm wrong, but he doesn't seem to have the mindset to get hit anymore.

 

This fight is a lot of question marks and will prove a lot

Mosley is a guy who can recreate his career and revive himself time and time again

his losses are to Manny and Floyd one of which he caught and stunned, is Canelo as good or anywhere near these 2

Mosley has beat the odds before and has way more experience and grit than Canelo who is young and not super experienced at this stage

Mosley is considered shot but is he? i mean he lost to the 2 best put him in with a lesser guy and we will see

is Mosley willing to walk thru punches take 1 to land 1 willing to give and take and take risks or is he looking to cash out and retire

Canelo got stunned by a one legged Cintron who got desperate and Gomez gave him more trouble than i would expect

Canelo his biggest asset in my eyes is his hand speed, he had Rhodes and Cintron very gun shy because they were not willing to get hit to land, his punches got there first causing them to clam

Mosley has quick hands but if Canelos get there first will Mosley get cautious and not engage or will he neglect the hand speed and go for it

Canelo has not really been pushed much and if Mosley can get some shots in early get his respect and take him to the deep waters he may win

Canelo has not respected his opponents for the most part, nobody has really clocked him outside Cotto and Cintron, most of his opponents have not hurt him therefore he just comes right in

Mosley will need have good defense, Gomez was always in good position and used a good defensive strategy and Canelo's offense was on ice

I got a Canelo UD

 

Not sure what Shane is in there for , I know the man is a complete and utter fighter , but there will come a time when he does get old and this kid is big , strong and hits very hard.

Shane will be dangerous early , but it could get very difficult for him to hold Canelo off for the full 12 rounds.

 

you must be talking about the lightweight Mosley....the current 2012 Mosley is not fast at all.
:-(

 

Well Shane might be faster than El Perro but he is just an avg fighter who is tough, not so much skilled.

Shane gave Pac problems because he was moving backwards.... foot speed is great for track and field, not so much in boxing.:rofl

 

I garuntee canelo wins in a fixed fight. Mosley is golden boy and so is canelo. I called it that they would fight mosley rather than kirkland. Kirkland is too dangerous. Mosley will be bought. It would cost golden boy to much money to have canelo lose to mosley.
