    In terms of his best career wins.

    Pretty high considering his last few fights & his age. Won't happen though, he's gonna get knocked out this time.

    It would have to rank up there. . . I'd rank it higher than the Margarito destruction.

    It won't top ODLH I. . . ODLH 2 he definitely lost, and with the steroid thing, it's all the worse. . .

    I'd say it'd be his second best win. . .

    very high, considering that his best years are long gone

    in reality, Mosley will lose, hasn't been KO'd in his career, though

    i'm interested if he can last the full 12 against Canelo

    I don't tihnk he's ever been in with a guy who hits as hard as Canelo. . . Vargas would probably be the hardest hitter he's faced thus far, agree? And I think Canelo hits a good bit harder than Vargas. . . Nah, actually Vernon Forrest might have hit harder, at least with that straight right. . . Or Cotto even? But still, I'd say Canelo hits harder. . . Canelo's left hook is harder than Cotto's.

    People don't like to credit Canelo, but the dude does hits like a mule, and he fires off some CRISP combinations.

    I think it would be one of his greatest hurraahs if he somehow pulled it off.
    Almost an impossible task after the recent beatings he took, and he's even older now.

    Can't see it happening :-(

    Canelo's got power in both hands, and as a style people like to watch, he's young, but very experienced, and is possibly the hardest hitting guy Mosley will face

    out of the guys you listed, I'd say Forrest hit the hardest

    If he destroys Canelo like he did Margarito, face it people, Shane will still be boxing for at least another two years! That will give him another excuse to not retire and chase more big money fights. It would just be another career defining moment with a stoppage win or a scorecard win but I really want him to ride into the sunset so he can help his son prepare for a pro career.

    His son will NEVER be anything worth note. An ESPN fighter at the very most. I've seen him fight in person already and he is not very good at all.

    Bazooka's son fought him in the amatuer's and gave him a hard time. I'd rather see Shane fight another year or two after this to be honest. This next fight will tell us if he still can.

    That depends on how the rest of canelo's career goes? at that point it will be a win over a hypejob but at best it turns out like an marcel over arguello type win.

    It would be his 4th best win after age 35. It would be in the David Estrada category...

    It would be one his best wins in terms of the odds against him in my book.

    It would be awesome to see him beat Alvarez then retire.

    It would be even more epic if Shane came from behind to ko alavarez late, Carbajal vs Arce style.

    it wont happen....you have a better chance of seeing mayweather vs pac than shane actually beating this kid at 40 years old with his string of **** losses dragging behind him
