    Is it possible Shane got caught up in the hype?

    A lot of people aren't ready for those bright lights. The world was watching and Shane kind of froze up. Not to say that it made a difference because I believe Floyd's jab made the difference in the fight. But even while he was back stage Shane looked nervous. Those bright lights have been known to freeze a lot of people up over the years, I just didn't think Shane would be one of them. Not to mention, it's easy to say you can beat Floyd Mayweather Jr when you're watching on TV or ringside. But to go out there and prove is another thing... Idk. I'm mad he froze up like that because now the losers think the fight was fixed because this ***** was scared. What do you think?

          I think you're a ****. Shane has been in big fights with De La hoya, Winky, Vernon. he's no stranger to the big stage.

          Even if he froze up it wouldn't make him a *****. It's not exactly easy to perform in front of a crowd, yet alone millions. When things don't go your way you would get more anxious.

            Thats a possibility. When people fight Floyd its intimidating believe or not. Hes fighting you you're fighting the zero.

              mosley didn't get caught up in the hype, he got caught by father time and floyd's punches and physcial strenght.

                No, he fought against Oscar twice and those are huge stages. He was just a beaten man.

                  this is the biggest fight he ever had and the mentality he had was he was a "real n-word" and floyd was fake/soft. when the tables turned, he froze up and fought to survive. his corner was like "i know you cut from a different cloth shane, do this that and the third." but shane was out of it mentally...his mind was in the crowd

                    the guy is 39 years old.

                    he went to 2 full training camps in a space of 5 months.

                    he hadn't fought in 16 months.



                    you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out why he looked like ****.
