Shane Mosley is going to walk Alvarez down and knock him out, just like he did to Margarito. This is a huge chance for gamblers. And what's this about Alvarez actually stopping Mosley??? When has Mosley ever been stopped? Pacman and Floyd are better than Alvarez, and they couldn't stop him. Forget this nonsense about Mosley being shot. When a fighter is past his prime, it means he's slower and less agile. The power is still there. The Alvarez-Mosley fight will be about power. Alvarez probably expects an easy chess match, but he's in for a rude awakening. Naazim Richardson is probably on cloud nine right Alvarez has no head movement at all. He's gonna be an easy target for Mosley. It's gonna be a repeat of Margarito-Mosley. In the Cintron-Alvarez fight, you'll see Cintron in round 5 all wobbly and out on his feet but actually landing almost at will on Saul's chin. This Canelo guy is exciting and I love watching him fight, but at the end of the day he's another hype job about to get exposed in brutal fashion.
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) War Mosley.
I think Mosley's problem is he gives in too easily. I know he definitely wanted to call it quits in the Pacquiao fight but he apparently wanted to do the same in the Mayweather fight. I swear I heard him say it at the end of the 5th. I just don't think he likes being bullied around.
A few years ago I remember watching canelo fight shane's brother or cousin something like that and canelo got shook up badly, gbp made sure the vid is hidden probably but that did happen. Mosley in his prime would murder canelo, he is now considered shot but I do believe there will be value in the odds, canelo doesnt have the skills to dominate like floyd, spoil like mora or scare him like pac did. His hope mosley is that far gone that he can take him, which is certainly possible but im not counting shane out as well, he might shook the world again.
mosley will be the same as his last 3 three fights ,, just in there for a paycheck , he just aint got the fight in him anymore ,, imo
I actually think there are questions on Alvarez chin and almost certainly his defence. Shane does still have the power to stop him, the problem is he just doesn't throw enough these days. I see Mosley jittering about eating shots and not being able to pull the trigger
I just dont think Shane has it in him to beat Canelo and I will venture to say that a knockout of Shane by Canelo is very likely. I dont think Shane can press the issue like he needs to and Canelo's speed and power will rule the day.
Only if he is ready to get ready to do it. On a serious note, as much of a shot fighter as Shane is, it's always been in his nature to completely destroy Mexican fighters who come forward. Thing is, Saul Alvarez can do a few things going backwards, which will end up giving him the fight. If he tries to bully Mosley he could get ****ed up.
I wouldn't really call that walking him down, he was going all out to finish a damaged/hurt fighter. He was going in for the kill. He let Margarito walk on to big shots then tied him up. He's too twitchy to do that to Canelo, now.
The guy fought liked a ***** against the midget... what makes you think he would destroy a strong 154pounder fighter. LOL
Because he had an alleged injury in that fight, barley threw a punch and still managed to befuddle "the midget". Let Shane get on "that ****" again, you'll see. :rasta
