Cotto, Clottey and Margarito are in the best shape of their life when they fought Pacquiao and look what happened to them..
Shane always come to fights looking in shape but he looked out of shape against Mayweather though he was coming from a long layoff to face a great fighter which had his number. I don't like that in the picture with the reporter that he is looking at her with the, "I'm going to **** you" face. Good luck Shane and maybe you can turn the clock back for one more time but I doubt it.
hes in the best shape since Mora TBH Mosley never really looks out of shape, I wouldnt judge too much on his shape alone.
You know, if we take out the supposed physical advantages and disadvantages of the fighters and simply look at craft, Mosley generally comes out when faced with this style of fighter, utilizing all of his tools. Shane can be slick and ferocious at the peak of his craft. Manny and Freddie aren't taking Mosley light at all, and I don't blame them. In any case, I can imagine Manny's physical gifts with allow him to get to Mosley's body early, in an effort to break the old man down to punish him to a possible stoppage. Mosley is game for this fight, I question how game though after seeing his mental flop against Floyd, as hes in with a fighter who really comes to fight!
I think Shane can see the openings, but like many old fighters he can't pull the trigger anymore, like Nate Campbell last weekend, Shane will be game, but I would bet that he will not do enough work to eek out rounds. Pac is still firing and seeing openings, but he has been in many wars too and many fights, ring age is different than your actual number, he could look old at any time you just never know, what we do know is that he will at some point and none of us know when. This has the potential to be a great fight, if Pac has an off night and Mosley recaptures his youth, but Mosleys greatest asset was speed, he no longer has that, nor the movement, nor can he get off when needed anymore. I see Pac picking him apart round after round pretty easily, but its a fight, anything can happen if you get caught, that's why we all will be watching with interest.
Shane's always in good shape, no surprise. My biggest issue is how tense he was against PBF. It's like his nerves were shot. To me, that's very significant. I don't think that just goes away. Also, the mother****er stays too upright as of late. Head movement is gone. Moves straight back. I think Pac takes advantage of this and frankly gives him a beating.
He looks in very good shape. That being said I hope his new girlfriend is not going to be in the audience watching the fight. I think she should sit this one out.
He always looks like that. Actually he usually looks better than that. But you cant tell much from looks. RJJ and Holyfield still are ripped every fight. Morales was flabby and had way better stamina than anyone expected
I never thought I would say this but Pac is going to Murder shane. Hard to believe watching Pac since back in the day this is the same Pac this is fighting a WW Shane.
