    He was p4p number 3. 2nd ranked welter. Deal with it. No doubt you were one of the ones saying mayweather was ducking him.

    Love the Revisionist history that goes on when Mayweather beats a fighter.

    I'm with you on this one Lance. NOBODY was claiming Shane was P4P #3 at that time.

    Now in 2000-2001, you could make a case for a spot in the top 3, but not in 2010.

    He was 3rd in ring magazine coming off a destruction of Margarito and seen as the only threat to Mayweather and Pacquiao. Nobody on this forum disputed his ranking

    Indeed. When I heard that Shane would be fighting Floyd I just rolled my eyes - he wasn't what anyone might have been making him out to be at that stage.

    !Yahoo P4P rankings had Manny as #1, Floyd #2, and Mosley #3. I believe JMM was #4 at the time. Experts believe he was on the beginning of a career fade after his loss to Floyd.

    Oh, and you kids that are revisionists. Don't (try to) change the past. Shane was #3 P4P following that Margs win. Deal with it.

    I wonder if you were one of the many that said Floyd would duck Mosley following the JMM fight? There were a large population claiming the fight wouldn't happen due to Marg's destruction.

    Then, P4P #3 Mosley got boxed the **** up, and people turn around and call it a cherry-pick. Yet when manny pedquiao gets by Mosley years later, people turn a cheek. Is l o l

    No revisionism here. I, in fact, picked Shane to win (by KO2).

    Shane was a beast, and I give Floyd tremendous credit for that victory in particular.

    That said, no way Shane was the 3rd best boxer at that time. 10 years earlier? Yes. But by 2010, while he reclaimed the #1 spot as a welter, he did not reclaim his P4P aura.

    He might have been a top 10 p4p, but he not a top 10 MW.

    In fact he had almost no resume at the weight, save for a gift decision over the journeyman, Sturm.

    The Trinidad win had some merit (I picked Bernard, pre fight), but any of Bernard's three W's over Allen were probably better than the win over Oscar.:D

    Bottom line Shane looked shot by the time Floyd faced him. He was a year 1/2 off his margarito win. 1.5 years is a long time, and shane was already old. Floyd should have fought him in 09 instead he dragged up Marquez .

    *****s carry on like shane was not old and still in his prime. He was old as hell and gassed bad, this isn't revisionism, its fact.

    If Floyd gets his ass wooped at 38 after taking a layoff by Broner you'll all be crying shot, and if it happens like the mosley-may fight, he will be.

    If Mayweather is 38, still ranked as one of the best in the world, and Broner beats him, it will be a good win for Broner. Fact of the matter is, everyone was saying Mosley was a threat to Mayweather leading up to that fight. Mayweather was supposedly scared to death of Mosley up until the day Mayweather signed the contract. You can argue that Shane was past his best, but it's hard to argue that Mosley wasn't viewed as one of the biggest challenges out there for Mayweather leading up to that fight. Just look at Martinez. Martinez is 38, and people are criticizing Mayweather because a fight hasn't been made between the two at 154. I'm pretty sure you can see how the perception of that fight would change later on if Mayweather scored a decisive victory over Martinez at 154.

    Actually, Shane should have fought back when shane was undefeated and PBF called him out but Shane had boxings most infamous toothache ever:bart
