Shane was prepared but was surprised by Manny's speed and power.
We can argue over who would win Paquiao/Mayweather. I love Pacquiao but understand it could go either way. One thing we can't argue over is why this fight hasn't happened. Look at the two fighters, their approach and their character, and try to make an argument that Floyd is not the problem. Even Mayweather's most ardent fans, some being my good friends, have to admit Mayweather is a spineless, gutless, egomaniac that hasn't fought in years and that he will only fight Manny if he sees enough flaws and slippage. Manny didn't look his best and we all know that is the only reason this fight could possibly be made.
Manny is better defensively than he once was, probably a result of Beltran, Khan, Porter, et al.
