Anyone Else Think That If Shane Beats Margarito, PBF Will Want Shane?

From what I saw of Shane last time out, he is done. I'm about the only one on this site who thinks this, but he had terrible trouble with Mayorga and one punch saved his reputation. That power won't be knocking Tony out, but I see that fight as the end of the line for Shane, and I think Tony will give him a one sided beating. The movement in the legs simply wasn't there against Mayorga, and its a tool he'll really need against a pressure puncher like Margarito.

You could very well right, he did look old against Mayorga even Cotto imo, but Im just saying what if he does win. He still has a chance, I could see shane not alowing Margarito to get in a rythm, and beating him to the punch, if his legs hold up he could pull it off. Im still favoring Tony to win though too.

I was at the Cotto fight and I thought Shane still looked a decent threat at that time. But the year layoff did him no favours, and fighting at 154 may have been a reason for being slower, but he looked half the fighter he was and I just see Shane being punished badly by Tony. I understand your Floyd argument completely, I just don't see it being a factor.

I doubt that PBF will fight SSM even if he beats Margarito. I just dont see that match happening.

Depends. Floyd will be looking for the biggest money fight possible. Right now, that would be the winner of Pac-Hatton. But since that fight won't happen until May, then Floyd probably wouldn't fight the winner until November or December. Mosley-Margarito fight in January. So, if Floyd wants to get into the ring before Nov or Dec, then I could see him fighting Shane in, say, June if Shane beats Tony. But Shane even in his prime wasn't really a big money fighter, so he won't bring Floyd nearly as much as Pac-Hatton.

Good points, i think if Mayweather-Mosley was hyped up right, which with GBP it would be, it would bring in good number. Pac or Hatton would be bigger but Im thinking he would fight the winner of both. Like you said the timing would work out so hed have like 5 or 6 months between the two, maybe even more. Sufficient time to hype both.
