    Shane's not old enough for Williams yet, maybe in a couple of months, when he turns 38. Shane seemed to have problems with larger guys who possessed a great jab.

        Williams is a bum he deserves a fight with Shane cause he beat pretty much retired Winky after 2 year lay off? he can get in line behind Berto/Clottey

          I don't know if it's a height issue more than Mosley just being open for the straight right hand that Winky and Forrest both excel at throwing.

          And if Shane can't outbox you he's going to try and overpower you. Against Winky that was a disaster because he's too small and Wink's defense is too hard to penetrate consistantly.

            Mosley's overrated. And a cheater.
            And yet he beat the brakes clean-off the Tijuana Toronado.

                He lost it on the cards, but a lot of people thought he got robbed. It was close, and I think I scored the fight a draw the first time I watched it.

                    Shane struggles with guys who can keep him on the end of a long jab

                      Styles make fights - and Vernon Forrest was a damn good fighter. If anyone else had the balls to fight him we might've found out. Instead he lost to a whirlwind in a prime Mayorga. Oscar flat out turned him down and fought the loser of the two fights. Forrest was just very, very good and IMO easily could've gotten the decision against Mayorga in the rematch.
