Did we forget about his incredible performance at 154 vs MORA... come on now mosely is 40 doesn't have the skills nor the stamina to get in with either of these, he can probably leave on his feet with Cotto but with Canelo he will leave on a stretcher.
Considering Mosley's last performances, Mosley vs. Any one is not PPV Caliber of PPV event worthy. Mosley has a couple of World Champion Ship Boxing Appearances, that's it if he is lucky....Maybe even a an HBO BAD....he done at PPV I doubt any one would drop coin on him especially after his last PPV performance.
I used to be and still am a great Mosley fan of his old days back in the day but here he gets stopped and gets kicked out of the game in very bad fashion. Shane will turn into a Zab Judah kinda stepping stone for these fighters.
Mosley still has a few good ones in him, as long as he is paired with the Margaritos of the boxing world. He can't deal with fighters faster or more intelligent. I agree Saul has some limitations but Saul is an incredibly strong JMW and it would be horrible to see Mosley on the receiving end of his shots.
Agreed. Cotto didn't dominate Mosley in their fight. It's more like Cotto survived Mosley. Shane had Miguel on his bicycle in the later rounds. I think with all the wear and tare Cotto has had to endure lately, Shane maybe could make things interesting.
I don't know. Canelo seems to have a problem getting out of the way of right hands. Shane makes the fight interesting if he can land his right hand with any frequency. Plus, orthodox Mexicans haven't really given Shane too many problems.
Canelo Moslsy would have been fun in 09 or early 10. These days Mosley doesn't have any heart it seems. At least he is ambitious but it doesn't help when you stop fighting as soon as adversity is thrown at your face.
Actually Shane's ex-wife JIN has her hooks into him and he needs to make that money. Shane iprobably sn't fighting because he just loves to do it.
its not a popular fight but definitely one i have wanted to see after the first. you can't say it wouldn't be a good fight, look at the tapes it was probably top 3 best cotto fight easily
Mosley-Cotto is a 50-50 fight, 60-40 at most in favor of Cotto. Yeah Mosley got his ass beat, but Pac/May beat & dominate everyone's ass.
based on not winning a fight in over 2 years with 3 tries...he shoudnt even be allowed to fight a world champion...he shouldnt be ranked..he is 40 and theres a reason he hasnt won but 2 of his last 6 fights...age has caught up with him...
