Violent, you're missing the point.

Let me put it to you like this: if I don't buy a lottery ticket, does that mean that I don't want 50 million dollars?

The millions of people who don't buy lottery tickets obviously don't want money... is that a fair conclusion to draw?

Just because a guy doesn't go for something, doesn't mean he doesn't want it. He may think that the prize is very unlikely, or carries too much risk.

You've heard the old boxing adage "don't go looking for a knockout, let it come naturally". Well, Mosley is one of the riskiest guys to go for a knockout against.

1) He's super durable, so the chances of you blowing energy and gassing out without finishing him are pretty high.

2) Mosley has big power and fast hands, which means that if you get overly aggressive, you take the risk of getting countered and KO'd yourself.

Canelo wasn't doing Mosley any favors out there. Mosley took a beating, but was never in danger of getting put away. He had the fight in the bag and elected not to go for the KO because it would have been too risky.
