all the guys voting shane are missing this...in order to be competitive with pbf you have to be sound defensivly,have a good jab and good ring IQ.... if you're picking shane explain why
Shane deserves a chance. oscar already got his shot. What has oscar done, at least shane is keeping active. Floyd should be fighting a legit welter and shane is one.
That proves nothing. Number 1 both of those fights were close. Number 2, styles make fights. De La Hoya is a bigger stylistic matchup problem for Floyd than is Shane.
Shane hits pretty hard, and he can still move. The fact that he could go 12 rounds with that Bull people like to call Miguel Cotto shows that he is still dangerous even at his older age.
thank you at least you expalin your pick anyone picking shane is crazy..what does he bring..he has no jab and no defense...and his speed isnt there anymore
Shane ain't a partime boxer like Oscar, I think Oscar's defense is better but Shane's offense is better and he is faster then Oscar. Shane also keeps himself in shape, not the same thing can be said about Oscar.
As someone has pointed out, going 12 rounds with Cotto means it is almost certainly going to go 12 against PBF. And although having lost some speed, Shane is still a lot faster than DLH and as such is more likely to land that big shot. The other reason I'd go with Shane is from a mental standpoint, Shane is the unknown. PBF has beaten DLH and that's only going to give the guy more confidence (if that's possible).
