There's no one as close to Floyd speed wise as Shane but there is still a noticeable disparity. It's good training for Oscar but it's not like the real thing.
Totally agree.

The Iron Bwoy?
Seen him loads on undercards live & televised.
While I do like him...he aint a good mark for Floyd. The kid's fast...& skilled & fun to watch & he'll dominate at his weight & maybe on step up...but I aint sure past that.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
