No Revisionist History: Shane on War Path Come May 7th!

mosley stuns the world with a 11th rd TKO!

 

Margarito is the more punishing puncher Pac has fought.. And Mosley the most explosive (if that makes sense).


My bad wrong thread!

 

I want to see Mosley end his career on a high note. I have ALWAYS been a Sugar Shane Mosley fan.

I know that the only reason Shane is seen as vulnerable in this fight is due to his current age. He's 39 and has seen a lot of wear in that ring. Pacquiao's camp is keenly aware of that, since they wouldn't even entertain fighting him at 142 prior to Mayweather-Mosley. But...

This fight is Shane's to lose if (and only if) he can turn back the clock. I think he'll be motivated by the naysayers, plus the opportunity at hand is immense. Shane had a shot at shocking the world with Floyd. Life doesn't always give second chances, but here, Mosley has another chance to remind everybody out there why he's (not just a good, but) a great fighter.

I'm pulling for Shane. I realize that he's fighting a guy who would be made to order for him 10 years ago, so if he pulls it out I won't be the least bit surprised. It really depends on just how much he has declined at this point in his career. That perceived decline is the only reason why Roach/Arum allowed this fight to take place.

Based on styles, we could be looking at another Hopkins-Pavlik style upset. Let's go Shane!!! Turn back the clock and bring it home one more time.

 

"A big statement"...come on dawg, hell I took the odds and bet on Shane, but a "big statement"...have you seen Shanes last two fights?

 

I'm riding with Shane on this one. I expect it to be a tough fight for him, and Manny is the favorite for obvious reasons. Shane has not looked like a fighter who should be fighting, of late...which is why he was given this golden opportunity (cherry picked) in the first place. I'd like to see Shane shock the world, or go out with guns blazing. For someone his age, with his recent setbacks, the odds against him, and all the criticism of him, to go out and shock the world, would be amazing.

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!~War Mosley~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Very disappointing fight as a Mosley fan...
Shane came to "box" & went into defensive mode after the knock down.

Prop's to Manny who came to win.
I hope Shane watches this tape & reevaluates his approach in future fights.
(Mosley looked scared for the first time in a fight since the 1st Forrest)
