    He's talking a lot.

      Shane did it against Marg also. I think it's just a thing he likes to do. Pretty sure he knew he would lose going into this fight.

        That's what people need to understand. With the exception of Margarito, everyone Pac has fought was completely intimidated by him. He cons them with the whole nice guy, sportsman routine in the build up of the fight then when the bell rings he turns into Pacman the Destroyer and once they feel his power and see just how fast he is, they fold. Other guys fold before signing on the dotted line though.

        Pac has gotten soft in the ring the last 2 times out though, let guys off the hook.

          I can't remember if that's a Mosley tendency because he's a nice guy or if he really was consciously/subconsciously submitting...

          I remember him touching Margarito's gloves in round, but not before and after every round. He caught a right cross from Mayweather because of it.

          That's some **** you do in sparring though, and usually it's 1st and last bell, not every round.

                Shane tried to fight in the first three rounds and Pac floored him.

                What can you expect Shane would do?

                  Hopkins might be right.

                  But what do you call twice faking that you've been hit in the balls and going on all fours with your butt in the air for some simulated sodomy from your opponent?

                    I wish Pac swung at him like Mayweather did when Shane tried to tap. That was epic. Too bad the killer instinct is all but gone
