I know...atsch For some reason I thought Shane had his 1st and 2nd fight at 130 before moving up. Of course I was mistaken
if he fought stevie johnson would that have helped or ivan robinson. those were other title holders at the time.
of course. he also forgot to pay the IRS, the bank for his cars, his trashman and most recently, his gas company.
I do realize that it was in part due to the level of comp available but it was lacking nevertheless. Didn't say he dodged anyone....
but to me john brown, john john molina, philip holiday and jesse james leija is no different than fighting demarcus corley, aturro gatti and henry bruseles. Floyd probably fought better comp than shane at lightweight. The thing was shane just looked so dominant compared to his opponents in some ways that resembled rjj's dominance over lightheavy division. i remember that was theme when shane fought golden johnson on the undercard of RJJ. At welterweight, shane clearly has fought tougher comp than floyd to the point that i guess it helps to validate his lightweight dominance. u know what i mean?
Outside of cotto id take forrest or wright over mayweather aswell. So his losses are really no big deal. No need to explain why wright would beat floyd but forrest also had a style that would nullify floyd aswell.
