    You have point Rome...Pwill is too much for Shane...

    ..but I will definitely pick Shane over Cintron,Angulo and Bradley, those 3 matches I think is winnable. Cintron doesn't fight like the late Great Forrest, Angulo can punch but too slow for Shane and Bradley just looks intimidating and looks really skilled but likes to duck a lot in the ring, perfect for set up.
    Cotto on other hand would be too much of a risk too. Cotto's got skills before and with Steward in his corner...? that will be a tough fight for any boxers.
    Berto probably is over hyped but that dude is stronger and aggressive version of Bradley. Whoever Mosley fight in the WW division is going to be tough but fighting boxers that makes a lot of noise makes more sense and even if losses, he still gets credit for going up against those guys.

      People should remember Mosley fought Collazo on short notice while the Berto fight was the first time Collazo said he trained like an elite athlete. The problem is HBO overpays Berto. He fought Collazo at his prime. 60/40 would had been a pay cut from the Quintana fight. And a Marg fight would be disappointingly bad.

        I see what ya saying and I do think Cotto look better against Foreman and had better defense.But I felt Shane won that first fight and if they got it on again remember Shane will have Bro ****m in his corner.Mosley right now IMO beats everybody in the WW div except Floyd and maybe Pac(Would still love to see that fight)I just don't think no other WW is skil enough to do it.I see the Cintron fight as a winnable one for Shane but then I remember how Cintron look vs Angulo he box and use alot of movement that can spell trouble for Shane IMO.

          Did you really have Berto winning that fight Cali?I thought he look bad and gave alot of rounds away.Collazo did not allow Berto to hold on to him either I felt Collazo was robbed and shane made Collazo look like he was a new fighter who never seen what a elite fight looks like up close.Berto IMO would lose to all the top fighters in the sport I just don't see him winning.To many things he does wrong and he does not have a good enough trainer to change umm.Oh and he party's and drinks a sure shot sign of a short career.

            Berto-Cotto would be sick.
            I agree...

              Yes I did Rom. It was close fight that I had even going into the last round. The partying and drinking part I agree.

                I'd like this fight to get made. Too bad Berto demand a 50/50 which he didnt deserve yet.
