At the very moment the fight was announced?
Manny fighting Shane is no worse than Calzaghe fighting Roy Jones or Marquez fighting Casamayor the only difference being that Manny dominated his guy more than the other two did.
Hold on! How old was Calzaghe when he fought Jones compared to Pacquiao v Mosley?
It's not about real life age, its about boxing age, and Jones was shot to shit by the time JC got to him as was Mosely, the Margarito fight made everyone delusional. He was shane's last hoorah but stylistically he never had chance and a younger shane would have obliterated him earlier.

Jones had been kayoed twice, lost UD, and had wins over sheika and hanshaw before the calzaghe fight. He was shot.

Mosely was 1-2-1 before the pac fight, and to mention that PAC's own trainer before the fight was made said "shane needs to retire"
