    At least you're consistent! ;-)

    Although I agree that Shane was at some point overrated, especially when people were comparing him to the 2 other great "Sugar" of the past, I think he's better than you portray him to be. He was close to being a great fighter and beat one that is arguably great in Oscar de la Hoya. He was also devastating at LW although his resume there isn't all that. I'll always be grateful to him for his destruction of Antonio Margarito.

    That comparison to Leonard and Robinson is what irked me the most.

    Larry Merchant was a big fan of Mosley, I remember. He was guilty of overhyping him.

    If You Look at Pics of (Lightweight) Shane and Walker Smith from the REAR, their Upper Body's were VERY Similarly Structured...Wiiiide Shoulders, V-Shaped Torsos, Similar Musculature...

    When Firing Off Combinations, they Unleashed @ Similar Angles Too...

    Obviously, Shane was Never on the Level of Walker Smith or Ray Leonard, but he Did Have SURFACE Level Similarities to Walker Smith...
