Awful hard to get the image of that stationary, cautious, shaky legged, can't let his hands go version of Shane we saw in the PBF fight out of your head.
hes 37... you dont think thats too old? theres no way he can keep up with pacquiaos pace, especially at a higher weight!!
But I thought Pac is **** scared of mosley? 6 months later, he's cherrypicking him. Having said that, I want Pac to fight Marquez at 140 - 143.
Judging by his performance against Katsidis, JMM can still do his thing. This time next year... maybe not. JMM and Pac weigh about the same on fight night, regardless of what they 'officially' weigh in at.
reflexes are an important thing in JMM's arsenal. Dya think hes still got enough to handle manny as he did before?
6 months?? Not quite. It is true that Roach wouldn't put Pacquiao in with him after Mosley destroyed Margarito though and being the only man to stop him, Roach said himself that Shane was too good. Since then he was two good punches away from a complete shut out by Mayweather and didn't look good in his last fight Mora either, so I guess it's ok for Pac to fight him now.
No, no and no. Mosley is too old and tired for Pacquiao. He gassed after 2-3 rounds of Floyd Mayweather pace, so how the **** is he going to handle Manny Pacquiao pace?! This will be sooo one-sided that it will make Pac look cruel, he will be using Shane's skull for target practice, and the fight WILL get stopped. I don't want to see Mosley stopped, he doesn't deserve that after going through his career unstopped. (a) the Bradley-Alexander winner, (b) Marquez at 140, (c) Martinez are all better options.
No there are much better fights out there.Rematches with Cotto or Marquez would be better.Ive nothing against Shane,He is a top bloke and it would be some good money for the man but I dont think he has it left in him to make it much of a contest.
To PBF's credit, Shane was tight when they fought. Sugar knew that opportunities would be few and far between so he was just far too tight and too patient for his own good. Completely different story when he fights Pacman though...Shane will have opportunities to let his hands go and find the target early. This should allow Shane to relax and , at the very least, be the version of himself that fought Cotto.
Pretty conclusive. The list fans prefer if no Mayweather fight for the World WW Championship: Defend LMW title vs. former holder Martinez Unify vs. WW champ Berto or Fight JMM at LWW But then again, this is Bob Arum's world and he said 'I don't give a **** what the fans want', so what does our opinion matter anyway?
That's what everyone said about the Margarito and Clottey fights yet both did very well. People know Pac is a history maker and a once in a lifetime type of fighter so they are smart enough to take advantage of it.
