Definitely believe Nazim can give Shane's career the edge it's been lacking, but not necessarily stylistically or technically speaking. Not that Nazim doesn't have plenty of wisdom to depart, the kind that will improve Shane as a fighter, but in this instance I think it's the intangibles Nazim brings that will help Shane more than anything.

With his father training him, and his wife managing him, I've always felt that Shane Mosley was forced early on into the the role of "nice guy". And, despite having a successful career, maybe he's been too nice for his own good. To me, Shane's often seemed to lack that bad boy killer instinct and stubborn self belief that is so common amongst the greats.

We got glimpses of it against Margarito, you could see it right away during his ring entrance. Nazim and his crew behind him, he looked more confident. Shane and his "soldiers" sporting all black, and it was represented in the way he fought that night. Against Margarito we got a glimpse of Shane Mosley the bad-ass. Overnight, we forgot the string of unimpressive performances he had leading up to that fight.

Here's to hoping that Shane shows up May 1st. Because against Mayweather, it may prove to be too little too late.

I thought Nazim created a great game plan for shane to beat Margarito. stick and move but once Shane got Margarito hurt in mid rounds, you can tell that shane turned right back into old shane and just deliever a can of whoop ass on margarito. That was the most pathetic margarito i have ever saw. Maybe he loss his confidence when he got caught, and he looked drained too. Tired and even slower. Oh hell maybe shane just that much better, who knows.

I agree, Nazim had a great game plan and Shane carried it out flawlessly. I was just finally glad to see Shane go for it with fury. I also agree that it was the weakest Margarito we've seen, probably because he knew he was facing possible jail time. Shane dd fight the perfect fight tho, can't take away from that.

Shane's biggest downfall is his way of adapting to losing is slugging. He knows he's got the power to knock people out uses that as his back up plan for everything. Thats what lost him all his loses especially Cotto.

:good

He relies on his power 2 much, just looking 4 one shot. Against MArgarito he thew some sweet combos. Thats just 1 fight. When Sugar Shane was a LW, he was an animal.

Thats the Sugar Shane I loved. And he came to WW and fought Oscar and was still a beast, but he KO'd the next 3 or 4 opponents and realize how powerful he was even going up in weight and got power hungry and tried that against Forrest and lost. Had Shane fought the way he did at LW he wouldn't have lost I don't think.
