People were booing Shane for punking out. Now that we have that out of the way, how does it get more comfortable than having your opponent run away from you for the majority of the fight?
Shane ran from Manny. He didn't run from Floyd. That tells me who was in the comfort zone. Manny was. Now, you can coddle Floyds balls all you want, but he was not more dominating that Manny. Seeing as how Shane stood toe to toe with him and ran from the little Asian guy, tells me that he was petrified of being hit by Manny.Comment

some floyd fan (comedian i think) said in one thread that the african american style of boxing comes from the rhythmic dances their ancestors did and was passed along and was adapted to fighting.
im no african historian but that's just ******edComment

At the end of the day Pac should be fighting top/elite prime fighters. Not washed up old recycled shot to pieces fighters. Which he has been doing lately. And, will continue that trend in his next fight against another old recycled fighter against JMM above 140 nonetheless. What a garbage run he has been on since the Cotto fight. Is ridiculous.
I wish he would go back to the 08-09 run he had. Because the 2010-current run is pathetic.
I don't care about the style he faces, I don't care if it's slick, come forward, counter puncher, whatever as long as they're top prime fighters.Comment

Shane fought Margarito in January of 09. He didn't fight again until May 2010. The "confidence" from the Margarito fight was long gone. Or are you going to tell me he kept it sealed in a bottle and sprayed it on himself like an Axe spray?
Btw, if you ever seen Pernell fight, he was also a counter puncher who liked to go toe to toe, in the pocket. So what is really the difference?
Marquez isn't Black.
Shane would have honestly doubting himself after putting in two terrible performances prior to facing Manny........
Shape it how you want.....no fighter will ever be 100% confident in themselves when they are 39, put in two bad performance, and is about to face the best fighter in the world......thats sports psychology 101, and you know it.....Comment

Wait a minute,
all along, all we've heard from Pacquiao critics is,
"he only takes fights against come forward fighters, he needs to fight someone who can move".
Suddenly, Manny beats in dominating fashion, (120-107, 120-108, 119-108) a boxer who moved all night long, who happened to be African American,
and now Manny haters are asking him to fight come forward fighters?
Can you clowns ever make up your minds?
"He only fights Mexicans"
"He only fights come forward fighters"
"Hes ducking Mosley"
Firstly, when has Mosley ever been a slick, elusive fighter? His trademark has always been "Power-Boxing" as his father likes to call it. He is more of a brawler than boxer, he likes to trade. Have you never seen Shane fight before? If not, it explains a lot.
Problem with Saturday night is, old man Mosley didn't show up to fight, he showed up for a pay cheque. This is normally the case when you sign to fight guys looking at retirement and one last pay day. Manny needs to pick better opponents, plain and simple.
Manny still needs to fight the slick, elusive types instead of the statues he has been fighting since the Marquez days. He continues to fight nothing but hasbeens, big names who are on the down side and actually pose little to no threat besides having a name.Last edited by p4p-champ; 05-09-2011, 01:46 PM.Comment

so now how u look after a fight determines how bad uve been beat if thats the case pac lost alot of fights, now i could get childish like u guys and bring up the fact that shane had to go to the hospital for his neck after the floyd fight but im not gonna go there its like no logic in alot of u guys, i give pac his props but some of his fans are unreal!!!
as far as shane eating flyds punches... its already established that floyd is not much of a power puncher at 147 his power punching days ended at 130-135.... yes manny punches harder than floyd but there is no way u can tell me shane didnt feel those punches! get realComment
