Some people say its the added weight I say he is just overrated... he had physical talent but he wasn't trained properly growing up and that ended up being his undoing.

It does not matter if it was the beating that he absorbed after the headbutt or if it was the headbutt itself, look at all his fights that he has fought after that moment, and then give me one performance he has given that is similiar to the performances he gave before that moment, and as far as your comment about it not bothering you in future fights that's crazy, this is not basketball, or baseball, or soccer. This is boxing, a very violent sport to where you recieve alot of punishment in the brain and body, a concussion mixed with a brutal beating equal a fighter who would never be the same. Watch the fight, the proof is there. As for the first Oscar fight Shane won that 8 rounds to 4 so I don't know about this trouble you are talking about.
