    i mean just both their styles pinned up against one another will make for a very exciting match up... i expect the fight to be similar to cotto vs marg in terms of excitement & action

    I don't think Shane will land the type of punches Cotto did. Again, you need to look at Shane's current condition and performances to give him a reasonable assessment. Shane doesn't and hasn't performed well when he's not comfortable.

    well have to see...

    the mayorga fight may have been deceiving because if for some reason it was just mayorga looking awkward and shane has a lot left were in for a big surprise...

    but if shane is really washed up like he looked against mayorga then the fight will probably go as expected

    I'm hoping Shane has one last great effort in him.

    I just want A Great Fight ...


    it would be nice to see shane rewind the clock for one last great performance and close up a match with cotto

    but it would also be nice to see margarito put on a great super performance and get closer to a super fight with maybe a floyd or some other mega fight

    it's safe to say shane even at this stage is pretty strong, but his experience might be a factor in this fight. he does do well vs. bigger fighters, and even in his losses to forrest and winky he was very competitive. i think shane is highly underrating margo and looking more at it stylewise, but is underrating margo's power. if it were the shane that beat oscar or lost a narrow one to forrest, he might of pulled out a decision win. i think margo can be beaten, but just not by shane. berto indeed is a beast, but he tends to tire in the middle rounds and regroups later in the fight like he did vs. Forbes, but margo actually puts more pressure, punches harder, and gets stronger as the fight goes on, i think shane is wrong, very wrong on his assessment and he has better chances of beating berto actually, but shanes a warrior. berto on his best night has a good chance of outboxing shane, but don't know if he would handle shane's power. looking very forward to any of these
