    Should SSM call it a career if Mora beats him?

    First let me say that Shane is one of my favorite fighters, so this thread is not a cut on him. In fact, I think he is to be applauded for jumping back in the ring 4 1/2 months after being soundly beaten. If Shane beats Mora easily or knocks him out, obviously Shane should continue fighting. Even if Mora wins the first fight, and it isnt one-sided, I think Shane takes a book out of Vernon Forrest's book and fights him again. If Mora beats him easily, or beats him in a close fight and wins a rematch, should Shane hang up the gloves?

    If Shane gets beat badly then he should set up one "farewell" fight and call it a career. It would be nice to see that "farewell" fight vs ODH so Shane can get some dollars.

      simple really - Yes

      No disrespect to mora, but he's not the sort of guy shane should be losing to. If he loses to Mora, he'd get brutalized by martinez/pwill/pac/cotto (in a rematch) or any other top guy really

      Don't think it would appeal to boxing fans, but for the general public it would be a great fight - no doubt they would go toe to toe

        I think Shane should call it a career now, his place in boxing history is already solidified he's not flat broke and he's in good health to walk away with his wealth.

        Why risk it ala Holyfield style?

          mosley has no business losing to mora. yes, if he loses he should retire. I don't mind him fighting margarito again just so he can leave on a good note.

            I was actually hoping DLH would come back for one more fight at 154 vs JCC Jr after the Paq fight. And if Shane does beat Mora, I think he has unfinished business with Berto, that could be an entertaining fight.

                I think it depends how he looses, i think hes chosen the wrong guy for his comeback fight to look good against. Of course we know Shane is heads and sholders better than Mora, but he should fight someone who hes excellent against, as we all know; Brawlers. However, if Shane looses to Mora by descion i still think he can carry on and hang with guys who aren't boxers, at the top level.

                    I think Mora will beat him and even if he doesn't he should call it quits. He did all he could do in the sport. He even fought Shaq.
