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.
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?
