    Almost agreed with everything you said until i got to the end although i see your point in picking Floyd. I give Shane a helluva a shot here especially if the one who fought Margo shows up. Anything less and Floyd will beat him.

    I'm not saying Shane doesn't have a shot. He's got a better shot than almost anyone. But I don't see him doing it. I try to picture it but aside from just a fluke shot that hurts Floyd badly (which I have no doubt Shane would follow up on) I can't seem to picture him getting it done. The amount of similarities between Margo and Floyd ends after male, boxer, living. I think people are focusing too much on what Shane looked like with the polar opposite of shithead junior. And Shithead Junior is the polar opposite of Margo.

    Yeah exactly. Its been said that Shane is great with guys that come forward because he can box and counter attack and all, but Floyd don't come forward, he waits for you to attack and then counters that. So its a WHOLE different style of fight, a style of fight that does not seem to be in Shanes favour.

    Well you are correct in that they are complete opposites, i think Shane looked alot faster than he did against Cotto,Mayorga. My dad shares the same view as you do that maybe Margo just made Shane look so fast, but i dont think so i think Mosley turned back the clock for that fight, I hope he can do it again against Mayweather.

    it will put him top 50 to me, if he wins and they rematch and he wins again even if they are close then K.O's pac (which is wayyy more likely to happen than ko'ing pbf) he will def be in top 20 if he goes on after berto's belt he wold retire with ALL of the belts concesus #1 and be like 41 yrs old if that was to happens who could that he wouldnt be top 10

    As I said before this fight comes down to LEGS!!!! do shane have the legs at 39 to keep up with floyds legs, of course he has the hand speed etc. and if he catches floyd with that overhand right its over,but shane has always had a hard time with lateral movement and floyd will not be on his bike he is going to be on a unicycle because SHANE HAS ABOUT equal REACH so floyd wont have that extra split second that he have on everyone else

    He'd definitely be an ATG with a win.

    I'd have to think about it. He comes pretty close to entering the top 50 if Shane wins over FMJ. FMJ is at his prime, and a pfp king, so Shane should be given a lot of credit. If Shane does beat FMJ, and then beats Andre Berto, then yes. He has a 46W-5L-0D-1NC record. His best wins are against Margarito, Mayorga, Collazo, Vargas (twice), and De La Hoya (twice). His only loses came to very good boxers, Vernon Forrest (twice), Ronald Wright (twice), and Miguel Cotto.

    Yeah I agree, he is definately the 3´rd Sugar no doubt about that, and would make my top 50 no matter what.
