Floyd vs Marquez - catchweight fight, Marquez moved up two divisions above and Floyd came overweight.
Pac vs Mosley - 39 year old past his prime but has a puncher.
fighting a rated guy in your OWN DIVISION is always a legit fight. than fighting a guy 2 division below you. only haters would say otherwise
TBH the only WW I would favor over Shane at this point is Victor Ortiz (outside of Floyd and Manny).
like i said in previous posts and even made a thread bout it
cant be mad at manny
cotto-clottey
margo-shane
he fought the winners and the losers of both fights..so
sure...thanks for ignoring my question.
what about the fact that jmm is the one who called out floyd and wanted to move up in weight?
People on here know I dislike Floyd, but again to be fair it's no different than B-hop facing and beating Pavlik.
Both Pav and Marquez were the concensus #1 guys in their division, and both hopped up two divisions to face an elite fighter they called out.
Why people bash Floyd for this, and turn around and act like B-hops win over Kelly is the greatest thing since slice bread is beyond me.
and i'm not surprised you're only commenting about the negatives of pac-mosley while totally ignoring the other matchup:lame:
and if they waited...when should have been the time for pac to fight shane?

and you insulted him why??
because all he does is troll non-stop. I mean if you gonna do that, cool, atleast be entertaining, but his constant whining/flaming is both annoying and pathetic.
what makes the mosley fight bad is arum blatantly waited till he looked bad before matching him with manny...watch fight camp 360 roach admits before shane was to high risk for manny..but not that he looks shot he gets the fight easily....but anyway cant really be mad cause..who else is there for him to fight??

It was down to Cotto and Mosley and since Cotto was the better fighter, brought the most money and was about to hop to GBP, that was the fight that made the most sense. I asked and have never got a serious reason/explantion as to why Shane was a better option that Cotto, especially considering Miguel beat Shane when they fought.
link please............we talking official weigh in.................did he asked him to jump two division up though?.....................
damn you are a noob arnt you??manny lost his damn title on the scale before and was ko'd in that fight...and about the 2 weight divisions..larios went from 122 to 130 to fight manny.....stop owning yourself

I don't think are particularly bad per say, but they are nothing to brag about.
It's only bad because we hold both Floyd and Manny to such high standards, but if you look at some of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport, they have done similar things.
Look at B-hop. He is one of the greatest fighters/champs on this era and one two occasions he made two MW (Winky and Pavlik) come up two divisions to face him. You can't really get mad at Floyd for doing something B-hop and countless others have done.
With Manny, well regardless of how much people try to sh1t on Mosley, he is a top 3 fighter in Manny's division, and as a champ...I really can't hate on Manny for fighting someone who is a top fighter in his own division.
IMHO, no version of Shane would have looked great against Mora.
Also, I don't see how him losing to a MW at 154 has anything to do with how he is ranked or should be viewed at WW. Fight didn't happen at 147, so when discussing the top 147, that fight shouldn't even be brought up. Yes he hasn't won at 147 in three years, but what people fail to bring up is outta those three years, he was inactive for 1 1/2 years (due to his promotional company), lost to one of the greatest fighters of all-time, and then moved out the division for a fight. So in his only two fights at WW, he got a KO stoppage against a top guy, and lost to Floyd in the other. Again, I see no shame in losing to Floyd, which is why I don't see why so many are sh1tting on Shane for that.
