    I guess it wouldn't make sense for me to mention that when you said his accomplishments... my fault Dios. Forgive me?
    We are all good here.

    It's just that I never understand the rubber stamp that Shane gets for "a HoF career".

    He doesn't even have a top ten career in his own era.

      Salvador Sanchez.

      he stopped Azumeh Nelson, Wilfredo Gomez, and Dany Lopez x2, and had victories over Ruben Castillo, Juan La Porte and other guys I dont remember. all this was done in less than 3 years, and before the guy was even 24.

      I dont think he would have had a long career, probebly would have been past it by 30, but had he lived I think he would have ended up being one of the best fighters of all time, top ten ATG material.

        that mike ayala guy who fought danny lopez in a fight of the year losing by KO 15. i checked him out on boxrec after watching the fight and i couldnt believe he didnt go on to win another world title. he challenged for several more but lost all his attempts. i thought he boxed very well and was more than worthy to hold a title, what happened there?

          I think he had drug problems. Mike Ayala said he was strung out on heroin when he lost to Lopez.

                oh really?? well he put up a hell of a fight! that bout was one of the best ive ever seen. i thought ayala could have taken it on points before the KO he landed the cleaner shots and was doing a great job fighting out of corners and boxing lopez off the ropes. what a waste

                      ...a former p4p and likely Hall of Famer really wasted his talent. Kinda like Shane Mosley, huh?
