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.

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.Quote:

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.
even DLH in the rematchQuote:
