Shane may be old but come to think of it, this may be his farewell fight (it may be if pac beats him bad, and there is a good possibility that pac would) and this will be a good payday for shane.
If you don't want pac vs shane then pac vs shane will never happen ever because shane will then get older and fans will be reluctant to watch him and pac go toe to toe. Are ya'll accepting this fact and willing to?
We may blame pac, pac should have taken shane way back before shane fought mayweather, but late is better than never!
Don't rip shane. He deserves this fight. He waited for this to happen, and we may never see both of them dance in the ring ever if they don't do it now. 38 years old is better than 40 years old.
I feel the same way, don't hate on Shane for taking such a great opportunity. I think we need to be a little more patient and see how things play out. I'm sure Pac will fight at least a few more fights before he retires, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Marquez and Berto to get a shot. If those fights don't happen, then they were not going to happen anyway.
Marquez might. Heard it from the grapevine manny wants to shut his ***** mouth the fukk up.
Why would people rip Shane for this?
What do you expect him to do, or say?
"Uh, no, I don't deserve this 8 figure payday and a chance at beating the top ranked p4p fighter in the sport. Give it to someone else who does."
"I'm nearly 40, I've been fighting poorly and have very little chance of winning, so no, I don't want to fight him".
I don't care to see this fight, but I'm not going to blame Shane for taking advantage of the opportunity.

Shane has had a nice Career but he has done nothing in the last couple of years to merit a Manny payday, especially when manny should be fighting young prme hungry contenders. Shane is looking for 1 last mega payday in light of his Ex taking him to the cleaners in their divorce.
Here are Shane's last 5 fights:
-Loss to Miguel Cotto when Mosely was clearly the more talented, athletic, faster fighter. Cotto used ring savvy to befuddle Mosley, granted it was a close loss but a loss nonetheless that Mosely should have won easily.
-12 RD KO of a fat outta shape Mayorga after looking deadful and old for 11 rounds and 2:59 of the 12th round Mosely threw a hail Mary at the last possible second. Literally 1 punch to get the win against a guy he should have Shut out or KO'd in less than 6.
- Spectacular performance vs an injured, weight drained, outed cheater- Margarito
- completely over matched ugly loss to May. Complete domination except for 1 punch that staggered may. Literally 1 punch again.
- Dreadful draw vs an over hyped feather fisted "contender" who's greatest accomplishment in boxing was a reality show
Where in those last 5 performances do you think he deserves a title shot against the P4P king? Better late than never? I say better never than late.
I don't blame Mosely though, I blame Arum.
Still mosley has a name. Get that name and pad it to the legacy man.
Yeah he should fight SRL right now too.. better late than never?
Is SRL active? If not then why would pac fight SRL?
As far as I'm concerned while mosley is in the game it's still all good. Give this man a break. Give him the payday he deserves. He waited in line for this and we must assist the elderly.
Mosley has been systematically destroyed by Floyd.
Did you see how Mosley was against Mora?
That's what mentally being destroyed does to you.
I don't believe he was destroyed by floyd. He was out boxed most of the rounds but destroyed? How? By floyd's punches? Winky gave mosley a more convincing beating than what floyd did. When did mosley was outbalanced and almost getiing knocked down by floyd? Winky almost did that. If you're talking about destroyed its what pac did to maragarito or what he did to cotto.
fukk that fight
no boxing fan should care about shane losing money in his divorce and somehow pity him to earn one last "pay check"....dude fought oscar twice and floyd among others, he doesn't deserve shart right now
exactly right!

Aint nothing wrong for Shane if gets a gift like this. After all his wife just cleared out his bank account so one last mega pay day is really a gift from the gods.
That said, this isn't the fight fans want to see. They want to see Mayweather or Marquez or Bradley (heck even Berto) just anyone who will be able to give Manny some real tests.
So when will pac take on shane? Never? Like i told you late is better than never. It's been my motto since my college days it's not too effective now i have a job though!
Yeah he should fight SRL right now too.. better late than never?

yeah.
mosley has been old for awhile, but had a lot left after knocking out margo.
but floyd beat whatever was left in shane. mora is a defensive boxer, but prime mosley would have a won a decision against him.
it's pac's fault if this fight goes through, but can't blame shane. he's a good guy just trying to get another good pay check.
Shane is 39 years old,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane_Mosley
Still strong as his last two fights shows, he was able to finish the fight.
He can give some troubles to Pacman;
However, if Mosley can't cope with the speed of Pacman then,
he will end up losing the fight by UD!
I can't blame Shane for trying to get a payday, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or watch it. Too bad he didn't see this divorce coming, cause I sure did. As soon as I saw that sheisty, ice queen lookin b1tch on 24/7, I knew she was gonna take Shane to the cleaners. Unfortunately, Berto isn't making much of a cause for himself. He needs to get on some Ali **** and start showin up at wild card, or talking smack on HBO if he REALLY wants it, which I don't think he necessarily does right now.
