    The Bulls barely defeated the Heat without LeBron. A fully healthy Heat team is better than a fully healthy Bulls team.

        Calling Shane a brawler??..brawlers have no boxing skills ...only thing going for a brawler is power and raw talent..

        Mosley has an incredible nack for boxing in itself..he's a student of the game..to call him a brawler is a discredit to him...period.
        A brawler isn't an insult. Some of the best fighters around are skilled brawlers.

        Its more of a description of his approach in the ring and not a lack of skill. He's a seek and destroy fighter and always has been.

          I think the Heat are a better team than the Bulls. However, the Bulls haven't had their full compliment of players basically all year. Both Boozer and Noah have missed a substantial amount of games and the Bulls still have a very good record. I think with Rose, Noah, and Boozer playing together and gelling, the Bulls can only get better. Furthermore, Rose is good enough to take a series over, the Bulls are an excellent defensive team and are a very good home team, but their weakness is at shooting guard. Homecourt advantage is very important.

            he's not a brawler. he can box good. for that reason i voted for 'natural counter puncher', even though he isn't really one. i voted because like the previous poster said, it would be disrespectful to him to call him a brawler.

                Shane is a "Boxer-Puncher" I wouldnt call him a brawler. Thats too harsh!
                He does have some skill. Alot of skill actually.

                But his style is more "Boxer-Puncher"

                  Most boxers have the ability to counter punch, but I wouldn't say that is Mosley's bread and butter.

                    When did Brawler become an insult? There have been excellent brawlers in boxing.

                      shanes a brawler always has been...when he was in his prime he was a vicious brawler landing the combinations but not a counter puncher, its sad to see him getting beat up at an old age...as sad as it is i hope pac takes him out then that way he cant get hurt anymore and can retire with a big pay cheque and be happy about retiring with a good career record despite the later losses..
