I think Shane had his day, but I don't think he's much of a fight analyst. He had great physical tools, but I would never call him a thinking fighter like Floyd, Marquez, BHop, Ward, etc. So, his analysis doesn't mean much to me, the safe bet is always with Floyd. He usually fights a conservative, safe, smart fight. Manny was dropped by Marquez. Marquez is a big puncher, Floyd doesn't have the same pop he used to. I only see May hurting Manny if he catches him out of Position (which Marquez often did). But the comparisons end there. Marquez can box and fight--that's what it takes to beat Manny. Floyd hasn't fought in a long time. He endured Maidana in the first fight, and escaped (with an assist from Bayless) many times in the second. I'm in the minority (and I think Floyd is great) but I don't think he has the power to keep Manny honest.
Also, it's fascinating to me that Marquez weighed in on the fight and gave a great analysis of how each fighter can win and this board disregarded his opinions and called him a "cheater". Yet, Mosley (a known and admitted steroid user and notoriously punchy guy) gives his opinion and people treat it as gold... And give it serious consideration. This board's hypocrisy blows me away. Just a bunch of fan boys. Totally inconsistent...
