I don't know. Shane did no worse against Floyd than J M Marquez did, and he did no worse against Manny than Cotto did.
Both of those guys are still considered top fighters, in fact Floyd is fighting Cotto next and many think Marquez beat Pacquiao last time out.
Canelo wasn't able to stop Matthew Hatton I think Mosley is an ideal opponent for him at this stage.
Remember the goal is to give Canelo a decent test, but for him to not lose. They aren't about to pair him with anyone they think will beat him just yet. As Shane was considered an elite fighter only a couple of years ago and on his best day would probably stomp all over the current version of Canelo I think this fight has plenty of interest.
I'm much more looking forward to this fight for Alvarez than I was his fights against Hatton, Rhodes, Gomez and Cintron and I expect most other people are too.
It's a step up for him and as an undercard fight pretty intriguing.
definitely agree with that.
