He sells out whenever he fights in California. We love him. To bad he doesnt fight here often enough.
when has Shane ever stunk ot an Arena or been boring to watch.....when have you sat there saying **** more of the same and had a hard time staying with a fight and not falling asleep......I dont ever feel that way watching Shane he brings it every time... One of my top three.
I forgot as its a few years since I saw it, I think it was at the time Oscar was the big media darling and IMO got a questionable decision vs Whitaker and was worried Shane wasnt going to get his dues or something
I don't know why he's not a "draw". If he talked endless amounts of **** he would undoubtedly be one. He would actually back it up. I mean look at his fight vs Marg and Cotto. He lost vs Cotto but it was an awesome fight. Something is wrong. :verysad
No Mosley can't draw. The only way Mosley packs a arena if he has a huge name next him in De la hoya, Vargas, Cotto. <<<Without those 3 and Mosley can't draw at all. Mosley was in the undercard of Barrera vs Peden on ppv. When Mosley fought Estrada, it was in the undercard of Cintron vs Margarito first fight on espn ppv.
I'd rather watch Shane fight than Floyds fights. Shane goes for the kill and the thrill, Floyd goes for the cash in the till.
For boxing/MMA fans, abso-muther****en-lutely. For the general boxing he is remembered as a fighter from the nineties who was very good and beat DLH. I remember telling someone about his fight vs Margarito and they asked immediately, "He's still fighting? Damn he must be old." But I remember a lot of people being shocked that DLH was still fighting and so judging by the general public you can't tell. As others have said, with Mayweather as partner you can't go wrong.
He has mainstream appeal he just never took advantage of it and never had a shot. He has as much appeal as Mayweather, he just in the past was either too shy or too nice. He has to go on TV more, give more interviews, and speak out. The more he speaks the more people listen to him.
The problem with Mosley is he was all set for being the next big draw but then he faced Forrest and Wright and he's still rebuilding to get back that drive he had post Oscar 1. Really sucks for him. Had he beat Winky he would have faced Trinidad and the sky would be the limit (had he gotten through him but even if not the fight would have been huge.)
