    Mosley is tough and quick enough to get to Hearns but I can see Hearns outboxing him and probably dropping him on his way to a points decision.

    What?! Did you watch the vernon forrest fights Roger B? - can't see how shane gets passed such a strong jab... i would even go with a hearns knockout here... the first to ever knock shane out.

    I love shane, just that style is too hard to overcome

    Makes you wonder how the hell tyson used to overcome such big disadvantages when it comes to size

    The only real debate, imo, is whether Shane lasts the distance.

    Forrest was able to dominated Shane with the jab. Hearns has a better jab - and also happens to be a much better fighter.

    I think Shane's willingness to get in close and trade (the quality I most admire in him) would be his un-doing. On the way in he's going to catch some big right hands. I don't care how good you're chin is - if Hearns hits you enough, you're going down.

    Hearns by ko - a horrible style match-up for Shane.

    No...:nono

    Shane would be well advised to stay clear the **** away from Hearns if they were both in their prime.


    Despite what a lot of people think... Hearns had a hell of a chin at 147. He was only dropped by one guy at that weight, arguably one of the best to lace the gloves... and he was stopped in the 14th. That doesn't make his chin weak or even questionable.

    Shane has no chance in this one.

    Yes. And for crying out loud this is the worst possible match-up for Shane that I can think of. Mosley is a hell of a fighter but this would be like Vernon Forrest times three. And I like Forrest. But we're talking about the Hitman, here. And I don't mean Hatton.
