In hindsight you cant be mad at manny-shane

[DIB42]

4th ranked coming of a LOSS and DRAW, "its not that bad of a fight" NOT

you *******s and justifications.

and larry, you much be off your bipolar meds or was it crack. you go from hater to justififer in a split sec too

Wow, you're a hateful individual. You need to surround yourself in the warm white light of Jesus Christ and Grandma.

I think Natas did a decent job of backing up an argument for Shane, you start to, and then turn into a name calling 3rd grader.

Opening statement = A-, everything that followed = Fail.

His "draw" (if you believe it was a draw) was at 154, doesn't effect his 147 ratings. His loss was to floyd.

Again, if you want to rank Jan Zaveck, Vyacheslav Senchenko, Rafal Jackiewicz and Mike Jones a head of Mosley at 147 then go a head.

As I already said, mosley isn't the best fight out there but he isn't the worst either. I didn't care for the fight, I wanted pac to fight JMM or Timothy Bradley

[Pacquiao'd]

then hes lined up to fight jmm next a fight everyone wanted..and i already here people complaining now..so in reality hes fighting everyone people ask him to fight..

i think you have become a *******, seriously. whats the point of fight with JMM now? just like with shane when he didnt take them at the point they would have presented challeneges

you are officially a *******

[Khalid X]

Mosley is currently the #4 ranked Welterweight so it's not that bad of fight, it certainly isn't the worst. Pac, Floyd and Berto are the top three guys, so obviously it isn't the best either. Margarito wasn't even ranked (unless you count the WBC rankings ) so it's better than that.

I try to tell people this but for some reason people don't get it (or choose not to)

People slam him for jumping up weight and not cleaning out divisions, but when he fights top 5 fighters in his weight class, it's considered cherry picking.

[ИATAS]

yes it has. I'd favor berto over shane right now as shane CANNOT pull the trigger anymore. there's a couple guys at 154 that could still come down from 154 and put it on shane too.

bottom line is that manny would do more for his legacy beating a young contender than trying to squeeze the last drop of blood from shot zombified corpses of hof fighters, just so he can have another hof'er on his resume

no one is saying mosley is going to do anything for pac's legacy, his legacy is already sealed man. This is for money.

What I'm saying is shane clearly deserves his #4 spot at 147. Take a look yourself:

You can't honestly say any of those guys deserve to be higher. And guys at 154 moving down to 147 is irrelevant if they aren't active at 147 to begin with, so that's kind of a silly comment.

[gigogreco]

the ww division is sadly, lacking quality fighters.

mosley is shot, he has a name and will bring dollars to the table, so he is the logical choice. And quite frankly, who else is there to fight, if his limit is 147..?

im by no means a fan of this fight, but its not like, there is much left to chose from.

[Ko King 212]

Who you fooling. You just want e points. This is a bull**** fight and is not the beat fight that could have been made.

Let's hope it's a good 1 for those of us who is going to stream it.

not true, pwill was supposedly campaigning at 147 before the opportunity to fight sergio, when manny was looking for his next opponent. so yes it does have relevance when discussing the manny-shane fight.

i already know those rankings.

fighting a top 5 contender in your weight class is fine, but there's no blanket answer for every situation. this is one of those times when manny could have done a lot more by looking outside of 147 for the fight if he wasn't gonna fight floyd, pwill, or berto (who are seen as really the only threats for him at 147)

like you mentioned bradley would have been a good option.

this fight is only justifiable by greed, and i don't support that and won't support it with my ppv ducketts. it does nothing for me.....

the clottey fight was fine, now we know how manny fights at ww, and that no ww is competitive with him outside of floyd and possibly berto (for style reasons) out of the thin crop of ww fighters out there.

I agree and disagree with you on this

I agree that it could have been a lot better if they fought in 09.

However, I disagree with you on this being a b.s. fight, because Mosley is a highly ranked fighter at WW (Top 3 IMO).

It doesn't do squat for Manny's legacy.
