By Dan Ambrose: Former three division world champion Shane Mosley believes that WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) can someday be as good as Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto. Mosley was beaten by Alvarez earlier this year by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision in May, so it’s understandable why he’d be such a big supporter of the 22-year-old Alvarez.
Mosley said to ESPN, “I’ve fought Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, and Canelo has the potential to be as good as anyone I’ve faced. He is definitely in the mix of talented fighters who are going to carry the sport for the next decade.”
