    I am not saying that he is scared, but he talks alot about how he is better than Ali and Robinson and Leonard, and a lot of his fans do too.

    But he has not faced and beaten the level of opposition that these great men and legendary fighters did.

    He should show more respect, and act like a gentleman.

    And until you can say I beat a Hearns, Lamotta or Foreman caliber opponent convincingly, shut the hell up.

    You are not on that level yet, and if you dont step up you never will be.

    He fights title holders in 5 weight classes higher than his natural weight. You don't think that's at all dangerous?

    If this poll was about Shane when he was #1 p4p and in his prime I wonder what the results would be???

    Shane has always taken on the #1 contenders, win loose or draw. Look no further than his fights with Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright as proof of this. He just fought Cotto at 35 or 36 and gave a great account of himself. He's also a class act I dont have anything bad to say about the guy, great champ and a very good husband and father from what I can tell, and also the best I have ever seen at 135lbs including Duran.

    Ever since entering 147 he hasn't taken the toughest challenges IMHO. He's looked at the fights that make him the most money. The Mayweather I was a fan of stopped fighting about 6 years ago.

    The conclusion is that half of the die hard boxing fans that care enough about the sport to take the time to post on this website, feel that he dodges people the other half does not.

    A pound for pound guy and one out two people are not convinced that his level of competition was as good as it could have been and they think that picks and chooses his fights.

    They think he is ***ayzee

    But he has a lot of fan support that is for sure, but 50% is still a large number.

    He is supposed to be better than Ali and Robinson

    exactly, Shane was a great representative as the #1 p4p boxer.
    Thats what the #1 p4p guy is supposed to be, Fraud is a horrible rep for the sport of boxing.

    its plain and basic common sense that this man has ducked the best time after time. there is no excuse for a man who is all about "dollars and sense" to avoid the most feared man on the planet antonio margarito for the biggest payday of his career. the man is a flat out coward afraid to fight the best because he knows his time is coming to get knocked out.

    dude seriously Floyd's resume >>>>>>>>>> Mosley by a decent margin... Shane's only decent wins where against ODLH. The other 2 big fights on his resume against Forrest and Winky he got beat.

    Pure ignorance.

    I didnt say Shane won every big fight, but he ducked no one.
    The same cannot be said of Fraud.
