This is dedicated to ALL of you who said SSM was a worthy opponent...

[:::PSL:::]

Yea. That fight was wrongfully granted to SSM.

If Floyd puss out again... then Pacquiao-JMM 3. Bring it!

[Rantcatrat]

I admit I thought it would be a decent scrap. I'll eat crow. I'm disappointed in Shane.

I gave Floyd credit when he beat Shane even though other people, Mick included, that told me he was too old and shot before that one. I was wrong last night and I was wrong then, I guess.

I don't want to see Shane fight again. He needs to retire.

[marbleheadmaui]

You talkin to me? You talkin to ME?

Shane was never a worthy foe. Problem is I'm not sure who is who is willing at this point?

YEAH I'M TALKIN' TO JUUUU!!!

When you say who is willing, what do you mean by who is willing?
I mean willing I'm sure there's a couple of guys who are willing to fight him.

personally, marquez donest stand a chance, and mick easy to say in hindsight, think back a little, did u pick shane to beat margarito? or did u think he was over the hill? i still say if shane let his hands go it would have been a fight for atlas a few rounds, his problem wasn't physical, it was mental, he can take manny out, as well as manny can take him out, he just saw manny as a god, and didn't have the heart to pull the trigger

Nah, that's not mental, it's old man frozen hands. He can see the openings, but he can no longer react to them.

To be honest I don't remember if I picked sides on that fight.
I'm gonna run a search and see if I can pull up my pick.
I def. didn't pick Margarito because I'm a Cotto fan. So I know that much.

But in the event, wasn't the Margarito fight like 3/4 fights ago?

Hindsight? I saw SSM decline since he fought 2 good rounds vs. PBF after that I knew he was done. This happens often boxers hands and or feet just dont respond and move like they used to.

There's a reason Roach wanted nothing to do with Shane after he destroyed Margarito... He was BEGGING Roach for the fight, saying he'd cut mad weight to make it happen but Roach didn't want it.

Down the line Shane looks old against Floyd, like he can't pull the trigger or get his timing right... he then struggles with Sergio bloody Mora and is inactive for months and months, strangely the fight now happens... despite the fact that after beating margarito in such fashion, nobody was sure if Shane had somehow reinvigorated himself or if it was simply the last great performance of a faded star... I guess roach waited to find out for sure first.

Worthy... Is JMM not a worthy opponent?
I'm sure he's willing.

I see your point, but i guess in hope i thought shane can do it, but nonetheless shane was a huge underdog in that fight swell, and he pulled through, i though he might do the same but he didn't, it was strange how cautious manny was thou

Yeah i guess fighters that depend on athleticism have it coming one day(Roy jones)

[No Contest]

I didnt watch the Mora fight vs Mosley...can I get a break?

[Spicoli]

I'll gladly fasten my seatbelt and take my place on the short bus for this one. Shit I thought it would be a solid scrap annnnnnnnd picked Shiner-Shane to pull the upset. Holy hell someone better follow me around the rest of the day and let me know when my own boot falls outta my ass. Hindsight I wish and thought Pac had a platter to make a huge statement by going for stoppage but he equally showed he could temper a flow and shift, boos had to be hell though. Never thought I'd hear that. Shane fought like he was trying to preserve something that no longer exists. He could have went out grabbed last oppurtunity by the throat but looked just content to stand on stage. Wise, durable but really at end, he was there to get got. Time to roll out Shane. Stepping stone is a title you are to good to wear.

[Snakey]

I got four words for you mick:

WAR JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ !!!!!

[CutMeMick]

Yea. That fight was wrongfully granted to SSM.

If Floyd puss out again... then Pacquiao-JMM 3. Bring it!

Pac vs. JMM would be fucken greatness...

Nothing would please me more as a fan than to see those 2 go at it again.
JMM is not the fastest, strongest, quickest but my goodness does that guy love to fight and what can you say about Pac he's just a beast.

Hey PSL, last week I ate "pansit" I believe it's called.
So damn good. I easily served myself 2 plates full.
