    I always think that even though Shane is a nice guy in the ring he does like to butt.

    I dont think Mosley is a dirty fighter, but he is definitely not a nice guy in the ring, he fights with a lot of intensity. He is a tough fighter.

    Mosley is competitive and doesn't give you a lot of room to set up your punches and breathe, that's different from being dirty. I've always found his style to be clean and crisp, a good fighter to watch if you enjoy the 'sweet science' I don't think the DLH headbutt was intentional as for Marquez it can happen to anyone facing a southpaw.

    Ferocious and tenacious, yes. And if he feels he's being fouled, he'll respond in kind. But the buts you see are often the result of his style. He's head on your chest one second, up and away with a pesky jab the next. He has a tendency to charge in. But the cranial contact is coincidental.

    well lets see

    forrest fight - headbut
    marquez fight - headbut
    hoya fight - headbut
    vargas fight - headbut

    i love shane, and i dont think he does it on purpous... but its not just by chance that a lot of his fights, his opponents face gets busted up from headbuts.

    What an idiotic take based on nothing but sour grapes, while at the same time pretending to be balanced. If it's not on purpose, but also not by chance, then what the hell is it? Take a stand.

    Now your beliving Vargas retarted comments from the 1st fight where he was "heatbutted in the 1st round" dam near everyone in the boxing world went back to watch the 1st round and there was nothing close to a headbutt all clear right hands that beat your boys ass and made his eye close :happy

    I think Mosley does what Holyfield does...they aren't intentional butters, per se, but they lead with their head when they come on the inside which can lead to headbutts. They are fighters who pop in-out, in-out, so you are going to get a lot of that.

    mosley doesn't headbutt intentionally it is his fighting style which makes it happen.
