    Shane has to look good in a fight first before fighting emmanuel. I don't want to see an old man get beat up.

    I agree with that. Shane can still be a lot of the other guys at WW in my opinion. I just don't think he can hang with guys like Floyd or PAC. But I do think Shane has a better shot at beating Manny than he did Floyd. Floyd made a mistake early that nearly cost him. But Manny is constant offense which means there will be constant openings. Whether Shane can capitolize on those opportunities is a big question but if he landed on Floyd....he'll find PAC. I think PAC would end up beating Shane over 12 rounds but I do think PAC would be in trouble in spots based on styles.

    If this is true, GBP must really want Mosley to ****ing retire already.

    Me too! I want Shane to get a good win under his belt like Leon said. That would build up a fight with PAC and Shane a bit more and add some creditbility. Not to mention some much needed confidence in Shane. His draw with Mora did little for his confidence after Floyd schooled him.

    Still hope PAC vs May gets made.

    So that means Mosley is shot now, right? Is that something people are willing to admit? Shot within 5 months?

    Marley is respected. He wrote for many years for the New York Post which is one of the biggest papers in the US. Marley also served as PR head for Don King which is not an easy job. Marley has been in boxing a long time. Sure he writes with a offbeat style, sure he sometimes takes sides (every writer does), but hey nobody's perfect and he has connections and reports some very good articles.

    Well if Pac would of fought a younger Mosley when Mosley was asking instead of ducking him, then there wouldn't be a debate now about Mosley being to old. Despite what people may think about Mosley, I still think him fighting Pac will be rather entertaining, a bit more then Pac vs Margarito. Mosley poses much more of a threat even now then Magarito does. If Magarito vs Pac is happening, then there is no reason why Pac vs Mosley shouldn't.

    SSM is a legend and future HOFer. What has Margo done to deserve the Pac fight as of late?

    If it's not Floyd, it really doesn't matter who Manny fights.

    Both guys should retire if they don't fight each other.
