Unfortunately I just don't see Shane posing Manny any real problem and therefore, this fight is a wasted opportunity.

I watched the Mosley/Mayweather fight again the other day and i distinctly remember Nazim Richardson telling Shane after the 10th that he wasn't going to watch Shane take those shots. Manny throws a great volume of punches and is so fast and accurate that I invisage Nazim pulling Shane out.
Agreed. Shane was close to being stopped vs Floyd who isnt a banger and isnt aggressive either. Pac is boh and on top of that he is a volume puncher aswel. If anything Shane will be even worse than he was against Mora so when he gases after a couple of minutes I see him being unable to get out the way for the rest of the rounds.

Shane will show heart to stay in there but Nazim will pull him out and it will be a big disappointment of a fight. It will start a bandwagon that Pac did something Floyd couldnt etc etc.
