Canelo vs Shane Mosley reportedly a done deal for April 21.

[Dean Duke]

I like Canelo, this will be a good test for him, Mosley will have a bit of extra weight which could help him at this stage of his career, its a shame Shanes turned into a bit of a gate keeper but if he needs the money who are we to deny him another reasonable pay day.

I have Mosley in this one if it goes down.

Mosley hasn't looked good in his last three fights but it should be taken into account that two of those fights were against two of the best fighters in the sport ( Mayweather and Pacquiao) and Sergio Mora caused Mosley problems because of his size advantage and good movement.

I don't think Canelo poses any of the problems for Mosley plus he works into Mosley's style because he's not much of a boxer and he's hittable.

Yup, that's exactly what I posted here man. Glad someone sees it the same way, Pacquiao and Mayweather are all time greats and even though Mora was a bad performance for Shane I still feel he won that fight.

Canelo is not " super green ".. He's ready for the elites..

He looked terrible vs Gomez until the gift stoppage.

My problem is less with Mosley himself than, as ElTerrible said above, there are just so many better choices. He had showcase fights against Gomez and Cintron and because of those victories most have him ranked in the top 5 of the division yet he is hasn't faced one person in the top ten! I like Alvarez's potential but that is the definition of overrated. Consider that Kirkland (beat Angulo recently) and Molina (beat Lara imo) are squaring off in their next fight while Alvarez is fighting Shane Mosley and Alvarez is ranked higher than either of them!

Now is time to face a live body in the top ten of the division. For example, face someone like Vanes Martirosyan, K9, Dzinziruk, all of whom he would be favored to beat. It's time to earn his stripes. How long will he be coddled?

I see what you are thinking, about with Mosley, but don't you think he is past his best and he himself
is very hittable, Canelo bit to fresh, and I feel he will punch to hard for Shane.?
