This thread actually made me look at the fight again. There was a couple of instances where Canelo had Mosley in trouble and didn't go for it. Only Canelo knows if he pulled back on purpose or not. But it kind of looks like he did. I know this goes against what you been saying, so Im not expecting you to agree with it. It's just my 2 cents

No probs scotty,
Its all good fun.
We all cant agree on things or the world would be very boring.
No one really knows but canelo if he felt he could have got the KO but didnt.
I just cant see mosely getting KO by canelo when he couldnt finish matthew hatton at a catchweight he was overweight for.
My opinion like many others is that canelo (regardless of how big he is) could not KO mosely because the risk was too great not because of respect.

The Hatton fight is really not a good example. The way Hatton fought that night, I don't think Pacquiao or Mayweather or any top fighter around that weight would of stopped Hatton. Hatton wasn't fighting to win. He was fighting to survive. Every time he was hurt and whenever Canelo got to close Hatton would latch on for dear life. He wouldn't let go till the ref broke them up. It's very hard to stop an opponent who's only trying to survive and is holding more than he's punching.

Your right scotty,
To evade getting knocked out all you need to do is grab and hold like matthew hatton did.
And your right, floyd or manny wouldnt know how to deal with matthew hatton punchbag defensive skills and would have been there all night.
Well done petal.
Hatton is a bit bigger than floyd and manny so would have more power like VD mentioned earlier and might have held back knocking out both of these £4£ champs out of respect.
Loool
I look forward to both of you starting a thread after the floyd/canelo fight and you telling me in detail how canelo size difference in power beats floyd on points and the post match press conference discussing why canelo never went for the KO...
"it was out of respect"
Get a room.

Tyson was a natural heavyweight and build like a tank. No one had more power than him, Mosley was not a natural Junior Middleweight. He's a natural Lightweight. Which is 2 weight classes below. So yes Alvarez was the biggest opponent he faced. And the one with the most power.
I'm a tell you a little secret you don't know. Fighters don't hate each other. They respect each other. Unbelievable. I know. Alvarez respects Mosley a lot. Not only that, and this going to shock you to the point where you might hyperventilate. You ready? Alvarez respects Mayweather too. Yes, you read that correctly. I know it boggles that little brain of yours. But it's true.
