Shane vs Roberto at 135

I find it difficult to pick against Shane unless posed with an ATG.
His speed, power and aggression was at its peak and at that weight he was more physically imposing than nearly any man I've seen.
Not only does he take this win, in my opinion, I also feel its a KO.
I agree
Duran beats anybody at Lightweight. And that includes Mosley. Duran would have no respect for Mosley. Mosley will go in there trying to make him respect him. Which is exactly what Duran would want.
Duran beat better fighters Esteban De Jesus, Buchanan, and was champion for a longer time. He would just about beat Shane on points.
Duran....
Buchanan made MOsley not look invincible but he didn't just about beat Shane, and De Jesus wasn't better htan Mosley. However, I still think Duran wins, Mosley has no skills on the inside, nor is he good enough on the outside. I think Duran takes Mosley through hell for 12-15 rounds.Quote:

Yep.Light seemed like a pit stop for Mosley,Blazing speed and pop,great finisher at light but level of comp not so hot Imo.Left me wanting,wish he would have cleaned it out.A notch above fresh Stevie Johnston (??) and Orzubek,Imo good threats but jumped up for the mega match.Duran too well rounded at light.Quote:

While we are at it; Floyd may of beat him on style /avoidance and getting him flustered out of his game, but Mosley would have been caught alot comming forwards,eventually taken to war and punished later on into a tko at least.
Well I don't know about ANYBODY but Duran definently beats Shane to a pulp.Quote:

I agree that Moseley would not have been stopped but Duran really was a beast at lightweight and had a plan for every eventuality that arose. He simply would not be denied.
Very tough one, but I'd go with Duran. Other greats that I would like to have seen fight these two, were Joe Gans, Julio Cesar Chavez, Benny Leonard and Alexis Arguello
Duran. His defense was better than Mosley and he would outsmart and outhustle him down the stretch. A lot of punches by both men in this fight. Duran by close but secure UD over 12 and Duran by not so close UD over 15. Still, Shane would make it very competitive and Duran would have a hard earned victory.
You need to seriously look into getting your eyes checkedQuote:

His offense looked very wild and crazy but most all of his exchanges were started with a slip or a blocked punch.....watch some of his highlights, he was a GREAT boxer, not just a brawler, but a boxer.Quote:
