He showed that his stamina wasn't completely shot, but if he lost this then his career would have had nowhere to go. He knew that.
The only payday at 147 for Shane now is against Berto & at 154, it's only really Cotto. If he can't get either of those to make a good payday, I want him to call it a day. I felt the same watching both the Pac/Cotto & Floyd/Shane fights & that was of a superior fighter finishing his opponent's career. Granted Cotto may have beaten Foreman, but I think the first half-decent guy who is in there with him & he's getting stopped.

I think Shane probably could win a belt off Bundrage or one of the above, but he doesn't really need to & eventually he'll face someone who will badly hurt him. Leave it while you're still near the top
I don't think Mosley should stay at 154 either. The only fight that would interest me too is a fight with Cotto, which I think Mosley can win. A Berto fight at 147 would be good too, but otherwise Pac is busy and Mayweather already has a one sided beat down over him. At 39 Mosley is a warrior and brave to be wanting the elite, but age waits for noone, not even Mosley.

I would like a couple of well matched final fights and then to call it quits with his senses still half intact. But with fighters they always want that last shot at the top. At 40 it very rarely works out with any degree of success.
