He is overrated as a welterweight and a junior middleweight. I think he would be better fit at a much lower weight. He could of ruled the 140 and 135 divisions.

"Sugar" is a nickname for some of the best fighters in boxing history. "Sweet-n-low" or "Equal" maybe but he's definately not "Sugar".

Shane is overrated as a welterweight but not as a lightweight. Sure he'd do much better at 135 to 140, but it's obvious that he's not so effective at 147 and up. He should just go back to 140/147 if he still wants to dominate the sport or he may just retire after suffering another one sided loss to Winky.

Shane actually lost his second encounter with DLH. And from that point on, we could already see that he doesn't belong at 154. Same case with DLH against Sturm.

Shane aint really overrated but he just moved up to far. If he would have just stayed at 140 and waited he would have had many big payday's. At 140 he was the perfect boxing machine. He had great speed, great power and was one of the best offensive fighters ever. I fhe was still their he would kill everyone in the division to include KT and probably PBF due to the power advantage he would have. Go back and watch some of his fights at 140 if you think he is or was overrated and then you will see how good he was. Hell the guy had 39 KO's in 41 fights before he lost to Forest.That is pretty darn good no matter who you are.

that's very questionnable: he beat dlh fair and square the 1st time, and the 2nd time it was close but I think he won it too.
But he's now too small for Jr Middle and I'am afraid he's gonna loose again next saturday and hang it up
5 years ago he WAS GREAT a prizefighter!!

mosley was a monser @ lghtwt, i think he should have stuck closer to 140 than anything else he's too little to be banging w/ guys weighing 154 + pounds,have always liked mosley would love to see him beat winky, but don't think it will happen, another loss and i think he's done

Since he came off the steroids he's been very ordinary...

How is Shane "overrated at welterweight" ?
That makes no sense !

Before he lost to Forrest, he was looking like the best fighter in the world.
If he was overrated then...just how overrated was Oscar at 147, because Shane handled him then ?

He's not overrated....he's just not that special at 154.


as for the steroids....steroids don't help boxers, you idiots.

Well atleast we agree on this one, he should be fighting at 147 no questions asked.

The style of fighting Shane used that night was better than the style of fighting Oscar used that night. Same goes for the rematch but the other way around. After he beat Oscar who did Shane go fight? Antonio Diaz, Shannon Taylor and I think he fought Adrian Stone and then was took apart by Forrest. Of course he was looking like the best fighter in the world until he stepped it up again and lost to Forrest. Shane didn't do enough at that time for me to call him the best pound for pound like many people were. That's why I say he was overrated at welterweight.

Go watch his fights at 135/140 and you will see why he deserved to be called "Sugar". He was that good.
