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

[GAME]

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.

Whilst I agree that Shane was a shadow of his former self vs Mayorga we must remember that Shane was up against a big, mauling wild guy who was coming down from super middleweight . Shane instead of boxing stood his ground and knocked this guy clean out . Margarito when he moved up just afew pounds to light middle showed he couldnt handle the extra weight vs Dan Santos. Mosley wont be fearful of his strength, moreso his pace and pressure.

Should Shane win ( which I dont think he will ) then I reckon Floyd would take that fight cuz everyone knows Shane and that would sell big. My money would be on PBF on points . Prime for prime I go for Shane

How did he demonstrate that he couldn't handle the extra weight? While I agree Margarito is better at 147, he moved up and fought a very competitive fight against one of the best 154 lb'ers in the world. He hust Santos several times and many people felt he was winning, or on his way to winning, the fight when it was stopped. I think he proved he could handle 154, especially with the paucity of talent in that division when compared to 147; though it has improved dramatically recently.

Well he didnt posess the same authority against the bigger man IMO

Margarito is far more effective at welter where he normally towers over these guys and make them fight at his pace. He couldnt do that up at light middle. His style much like Hattons doesnt move up well. Its meant for smothering smaller men.

PBF only fights for the money. Shane never does well with ticket sales. That won't change if he beats Margarito. The only fight out there for PBF right now is the winner of Hatton v. Pacquiao or both.

Risk/reward - why fight Shane or Margarito or Williams when PBF could fight less risky fight with Pacquiao or Hatton for more money?

PBF won't fight the best welterweights because there isn't enough money to offset the risk.

PBF won't fight Margarito; he won't fight Shane; and, he won't fight Williams.

I agree that he is much better at 147. However, I also think that he is more than capable at 154, I feel he demonstrated that in the Santos fight. I wouldn't go so far as to say he proved he couldn't handle the extra weight, just that he's better at 147; aside from that, I can understand where you're coming from though.
