Sugar Shane

[Spicoli]

Shane is tuff, no doubt. Durable. But the only way hes turning back any clock is once a year, just like the rest of us. The problem isn't him struggling with a Cano down in Mexico on basic cable..its when he again looks like a champion turned journeyman padding some big stars name. He needs to retire and leave with some dignity. Hes starting to collect punches like an old used time clock.

His dignity went out the window years ago...

To some yes. But to the majority of fans a guy is judged and remembered mainly on his quality of work, rightly or wrongly as some may see it. We all know and have our own beefs, indescretions with certain fighters but I watch the fights, not court cases. The sport is filled with ex cons, con men, and superstars and journeymen doing jail time.

Injecting yourself to have a physical advantage is completely wrong. Some of his (Mosley) fights were illusions when I look back now because he was cheating. I don't care if Ali had came out that he was cheating then he would no longer be the Greatest in my book. God bless boxing for having the ex cons, journeymen and the people who have been superstars with hard work and dedication.

I get that and thats the distinction. Wrongs and a mans passed-present is completley his own to pay for in a personal life. Done so within your occupation and souly to benefit achievment is the different thing. Clearly or not so clearly as it may be. The list is ever growing on ban violations and you ponder if a sport that cannot manage its own house, enforce rules let alone appoint competent officials can or will really do anything about it. We can put a big fat asterisk next to all the names but fact is they'll continue to fight, so the discussion will go on.
