    Shane Mosley is not an average fighter though-His only LOSSES in recent years, are against the 1-2 guys in the sport-draw with Mora and I had him winning that fight..

    Whatever the case, he is more solid and more skilled, faster and stronger than El Perro and Kirkland-

    I'm not saying he gonna win-I'm saying, out of the 3 names available-Shane was the most competitive...he is and will be as we'll see May 5..I guess we'll have to wait until Saul fights Kirkland or El Perro to see if I was truly right-whatever the case, May 5th MIGHT show us who is right and who is wrong in this.

    lmfao-that glass chin Kirkland has is not dangerous-

    Ishida exposed Kirkland-he's garbage man-he doesn't even look good since coming out of jail-

    I'm not sure if Canelo can stop Shane but if not it will be a very long night for Sugar getting beaten up

    I haven't seen anything from Mosley recently suggesting he's got enough to pull out the upset. But I'm hoping for a good scrap. Like Reppin said.. The smart bet it Canelo, but Mosley can pull the upset.

    Yep. And I hate the thought of it, cause Canelo can rip. And I know I'm gonna buy it too.

    **** it.

    Mosley will quit. He needs to retire as he's just making himself look bad and has turned from warrior to Cintron in his past fights. Not sure he wanted to quit against Mora but his heart ain't there anymore and it's painful to watch. Alvarez TKO(corner stoppage by Shane refusing to leave his corner around the 5-9 rds) is the safe bet IMO and this does nothing for him. Even stopping Shane does nothing as Shane is done and this is his worse weight of his career.

    As a boxing fan, I would rather Canelo won.
    As a Canelo fan, my choice obviously doesn't change.
    As a fan of 90's ERA I would like to see Mosley give a good account of himself.

    I would give Canelo slightly more credit than I did Pacquiao for a Mosley win.

    Pac was supposed to be the P4P#1 fighter in the world.
    Canelo is a young kid with a paper title.

    Both fought a faded Mosley and both will go down as cherry picks so they deserve little to no credit. Mosley has been able to turn his career around a few times(Mayorga who he figured out and ko'd, Being an underdog to Marg and only guy to stop him by ko with no eye problems, Beating DLH the first time) but this won't be one of them. He will quit and people will be pissed until they see Cotto-Mayweather which Mayweather will dominate.

    Not goin down as cherrypickers though-Floyd and Manny are ALREADY top 50 atg...consensus that is by fans and professionals alike.

    I meant Alvarez & Pacquiao cherrypicked Mosley.

    As far as ATG, that label gets thrown around too much. Not trying to go into that too much but I feel Pacquiao and Mayweather haven't done enough to be ATGs call me old school and cruel. HOF'ers no doubt but fighting past prime fighters as their best wins and not fighting each other will hurt their legacies down the line though it doesn't erase the greatness they did.

    Got ya on the Alvarez and Pacquiao.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "they haven't done enough"..Both of them have conquered feats nobody else has-

    Pac has taken a title in 7 weight classes if u include the IBO Ricky had...That is a feat in itself!

    Floyd is the ONLY fighter to ever win 7 titles in 5 weight classes and stay undefeated.

    Floyd and Pac are w/out a doubt-old school, new school...whatever u wanna call it-They are TOP 50..

    If you really judge em that harsh, then they are TOP 60 at the very very very very worst.

    If you do a poll, you'll see that both are ATG's. Old school or not.

    When I think about "ATG" I think about the top 100...
