    I think that's fair to say. Never seen him on the back foot like that since......... parts of the Forrest fights maybe? Blame Pac.

    Yes. Nothing he can say will defend that performence against Pac.

    well if he didnt go for the knockout then yes he has, but before that, he was always willing to engage

    more about being shot and fighting a beast than being prime and bitching

    Yes but we also should see the reasons why Pacquiao's team chose him in the first place. In his fight before Pacquiao he fought Mora to a draw in an ugly fight and did not impress. The fight before that he got dominated by Floyd to the point where Nazim threatened to stop the fight. Mosley is/was very faded and Pacquiao's team knew this. At least Shane can say he always went for the knockout in and close to his prime which is pretty accurate but we should remember him for his fights such as with Forrest(first fight), Johnson, DLH 1, Wright 2, and Margarito. Currently he is not the man he was in those fights but lets not forget different gampplan or not, he looked like **** in his two fights before Pacquiao.

    Another thing, why is an old Mosley getting so much flack for running when a younger Cotto did the same thing? Cotto did throw more punches but Mosley stood in front of Pacquiao maybe even more than Cotto and quite possibly did less running. Maybe but I'll rewatch them and study that. One thing's for sure, Manny did not go to the body enough or cut off the ring in those fights.

    Pac is the new Tyson. Opponents are starting to think going the distance is some kind of ****ing feat. At least JMM will give his all, no matter what happens. Once you start giving up in fights you should ****ing hang them up in my opinion.

    Cotto only went into survival mode in the late rounds when he was a bit battered and bruised, he still fought back after both knockdowns. Shane just fought to survive after the knockdown.

    Agreed. I give Mosley props for even fighting Pacquiao but old man Shane should've stayed his ass in his rocking chair at home and/or training his son. He had no business fighting Pacquiao especially since he looked like **** in his two fights before Pacquiao. It's clear he only came for a payday and to survive. It's also sad that people will think of this Shane and not the one who beat DLH or was the man at LW.
