    Its wholey Pacs team fault for this. Im sorry it hurts...Shane couldnt pull the trigger against May and Mora....why would this fight be any different, a year on.......

    In such a situation, Pac should have been more aggressive..............
    but in the end you should sign fights to win rather than do enough to earn a payday

    While Shane maybe knew the odds were stacked against him at the same time he should have at least made an effort to win.

      That's what people need to understand, they are in a ring and Pac should have caught him if he wanted the KO. Mosley isn't obligated to stick his chin out.

        Shane's best chance to win was by trying to outbox Pacquiao. At his age he wasn't going to win a brawl. Arguably Shane's best punches landed when Pac was rushing in. Shane did what he could and should retire now that he knows he just doesn't have it anymore.

          im actually kinda glad that shane didn't engage...my all-time fav fighter!! i didn't want him hurt too bad..and though I may be looking through blinded eyes, I don't think shane "ran" all night. I would be lying if I said "he wasn't too defensive"; but he just can't do it anymore. He could see what he needs to do; just can't pull the trigger...He is still my guy; shane will be missed.

            Can't say anybody didn't expect Shane was going to lose regardless.

            Not even the boxing experts were giving him a chance in hell of pulling off an upset.

            Gotta admit, not everybody expected Shane to throw the fi.... err... box as horribly as he did compared to his previous fights.

            After the knockdown, his tail went right between his legs and remained there the rest of the night.

              i dont think he ran either but it was clear that he couldn't pull the trigger. shane had pac right where he wanted him. he turned pac and had him out of position and off balance all night but never threw a punch.
