We saw that Floyd and Manny handled Shane with ease so how Alvarez gets on will allow us to see how developed a fighter he is.
Certainly it's a massive step up for Alvarez following fights with the likes of Matthew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes and Alfonso Gomez.
Mosley is a future hall of famer and a big step up in competition.
At this stage of his career I don't expect him to have enough to beat Alvarez but it will be interesting early. Alvarez is very easy to hit, and Shane could be dangerous in those early rounds.
I expect Saul to walk through his shots like a tank however and grind Shane down for a decision win.
But it's no joke fight. Canelo is still only a kid and a name like Shane on his resume will be a decent win, even if he is old and past his best.
