Whats so special about sugar shane ??????

[brooklyn kid]

aside from his granite chin sugar shane isnt really that good of a fighter

i commend him for his heart which gets him the win in most of his

fights but his so called hand speed isnt that evident to me.... well i know

he has hand and foot speed but he doesnt use it properly.


he doesnt jab

he doesnt box

and he doesnt throw crisp accurate shots this guy punches with his

eyes close (i thought judah was BS'ing but hes not).


I mean sugar shane has power but his string of Tko's kinda stopped

at lightweight where he was a knockout machine.

I hope judah beats sugar shane but I expect sugar shane to win a ud

because his stamina is unbelievable.

but that being said sugar is just too vulnerable to get hit by judah

Shane in his prime had amazing skills...hes was p4p number 1 for a reason.

That being said I agree Shane can be hit easily then ever now...and Judah who is faster then Shane will hit him at will.

Shane at 135 had amazing skills

very ignorant post. have you ever watched sugar shane in his prime? he is considered by many to be one of the best lightweights ever....

his handspeed was amazing, check out some of the videos on youtube and you'll get an idea of how quick he really was

his chin as you say is fantastic and he puts punches together very well. The guy was dazzling imo, one of my fave fighters

here are a few reminders as to whats so special about Sugar Shane

1989 U.S. National Amateur Champion, 132 Lbs.
1990 U.S. National Amateur Champion, 132 Lbs.
1992 U.S. National Amateur Champion, 139 Lbs.
1998 Fighter of the Year, Boxing Writers Association of America
2000 Fighter of the Year, Boxing Hall of Fame
Former Lightweight World Champion
Former Welterweight World Champion
Former Jr. Middleweight World Champion

need i go on? whilst i agree that his fighting style has changed entirely SS is another in the mould of RJJ who, IMO should retire while they still have a legacy and before they potentially get hurt.

btw i agree with Winky Wright being extremely underrated.

[Burner]

He only lost to 3 fighters in his career...

A prime Winky
A Prime Forrest
A prime Cotto when Mosley was past it.



I dont get where your coming from..you like Judah fine..but SSM is/was a great fighter.

[BEHEMOTH]

His prime doesn't exist anymore.
Nowadays, he fights kinda afraid.
Similar to Bernard Hopkins

[BEHEMOTH]

Very gunshy.

[brooklyn kid]

I mean I like the guy but he hasnt really impressed me enough to consider

him great.

Like he has no style of boxing he just rushes in and punches

I think that worked with lighter weight fighters because he had so much

more power than they did. And he beat oscar becuase oscar doesnt know

the word backup (unless your name is trinidad) and hes much quicker than

oscar.


But really does he have a fighting style????????????????????
