    Shane being Shane...a stand up dude...

    I still remember the first thing he said to larry merchant after losing to forrest ( the whole time he was smiling)

    I own nearley all Sugar Shanes fights and still everytime I watch the first fight with Forrest it suprises me on how much Vernon dominated him. I still dont know how Shane managed to get through round when Forrest knocked him down, Shanes legs had totally gone.

    Cottos power got the better of him once as did winkys awkward style but i never quite fully understood why sugar struggled so much against forrest

    The guy could bang and had awesome reach, but ive seen mosley deal with those type of attributes time and time again
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    I think alot of it had to do with the headbutt that occured seconds before the 1st knockdown. Apart from that Shane hasnt been visibly hurt in any other fight.

    He didnt stop smiling even after the decision in the 2nd fight

    Have you ? i never see Shane Mosley beat a tall rangy fighter like Vernon Forrest. The reason he lost to Vernon Forrest because he couldn't deal. With Vernon Forrest's jab plus the clinching off-set him aswell, Winky Wright also beat him with his jab alone.

    A good stiff jab has always been the key to beating Shane. Forrest, Winky, and to a lesser extent Cotto all used the jab very effectively.

    I can't believe Forrest ever lost to Mayorga twice!
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I was never a Forrest fan. But that was one of the sweetest uppercutts ever. Credit to Mosley for getting up

    I agree. I always thought the head butt contributed to it. Mosley had tooken the first round with out much problems

    There were never really any tall rangy fighters worth fighting aside from Forrest
