As much as I've loved watching Mosley over thee lsat ten years... No way I can root for him, hes standing in the way of potential decent match ups.. Hes in the way, make room...
**** you all saying Mosley deserves nothing, do two performances in old age over shadow a great career? Idiots, go back and watch the man. Mosley is a legend, he will be in the HOF regardless of how his later career goes, I hope he wins so I can say 'I told you so' Mosley will beat Canelo (I'll post below saying why, when I find it from an earlier thread) and Winky Wright will beat Quillin.
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. Book it (I have Winky to beat Quillin too)
Calm down SjS19. Alvarez is clearly cherrypicking Mosley and he hasn't won since '09 and hasn't beaten a good name at 154 since Vargas in '06. Plus with age I just see this fight as a changing of the guard. Hopefully Mosley can return to the Mexikiller he used to be but I doubt it since he does not have that passion anymore to blast out opponents.
