    Shane recently told Richard Schaefer to stop trying to make a fight with Pacquaio. His new list of opponents are Williams, Berto, Clottey, or Cintron. I'd prefer Williams or Clottey. A Berto or Cintron fight would be little more than a tuneup for Shane.

    Shane Should Do the Berto Fight IMMEDIATELY...EASY Fight & a Unification Fight w/an UNDEFEATED Guy...Then Probably Cintron...Cintron would B TOUGHER than Berto, but Shane would STOP him Late...

    Clottey is Clottey, Meaning he'll Fight Shane on EVEN Terms, Shane WON'T Look Impressive & the Boxing Public Will B SPLIT on Who Actually WON...& Paul Williams will BEAT Shane...

    If REED was Managing/Matchmaking for Shane, it'd B Berto & Cintron 1st...w/the Distinct Probability of NEVER Facing Clottey & Williams...

    Well what's Shane supposed to do when Berto claims he isn't ready for a fight against Mosley? Or Cintron ducks him like he ducked Clottey and Williams. Shane will have to fight Clottey or Williams. Maybe Shane should pursue a Vernon Forrest rematch he'd probably actually win at this point.

    Berto is a tune up for Shane. He'd win by kayo. He'd probably beat Cintron at this point, but Kermit might hit hard enough to make sHANE CAUTIOUS. i JUST THINK Kermit will wilt. He isn't tough for a proi fighter. Williams would sodomize Shane. I give him a 25% chance because Williams might have an off night and lose like he did to that bum Quintana.Clottey loses a UD and tries to quit four times and said he pulled a testicle in round 2.

    Why Shane would beat....

    Cintron: Because he sucks plain and simple. I know people like DoubleL believe in Cintron, but seriously if Shane lost to Cintron, I'd agree with FreeIke that Shane is a bum. Cintron just isn't tough enough to deal with Shane at all. Oh yeah, and he sucks too.

    Berto: Berto is talented enough to beat Shane at this point in their careers because he's younger and faster. Unfortunately just like Cintron he's not durabale enough. I don't think his chin would hold up and he's probably twice as bad defensively as Shane which sucks for him when you refactor in Berto's chin. Shane could start this fight throwing his leaping hooks and end it in 2.

    Clottey: I always thought Clottey was a very durable guy, but the Cotto fight has me thinking otherwise. Physically Clottey is a durable guy, but mentally he just isn't. His durability is the exact opposite of Cotto's. Clottey will find a way to lose to Shane, as Clottey just can't beat the elite guys. He abadoned his jab against Cotto and would probably do the same against Shane.

    Williams: He fights like an idiot. He fought the perfect fight against Margarito, using his height & reach and clinching on the inside. Ever since then he's done nothing but brawl and fight wrecklessly (though I missed the Wright fight) and if he does so against Shane it will hugely increase his chances.

    I agree with all counts on Cintron but one thing we cant take away from him is his power. I also want to point out that in his last fight he was impressive in my opinion and threw over 1K punches.

    Shane's the CLOSEST Thing to a "Money" Fight that EITHER of them Will Get @ the Moment...

    Against DECENT Guys like Colazzo, Forbes & Urango, Berto HASN'T Seperated Himself from the Pack All that Much...So SURELY, Lou DiBella RECOGNIZES that he DOESN'T have Some Future All-Time Great, Undefeated Fighter on his Hands in Berto...May as Well Take a MONEY Fight w/a Soon to B 38 Year Old Man...

    I can't believe some of you still think highly of that scrub Cintron. That guy fucking sucks. Who cares if he can punch? He sucks and Mosley will wipe his ass with him.

    Berto should be the fight Shane goes after. It will make him look good and he can pick up another belt.

    the Clottey fight is a toss up where even if Shane wins he will look bad and it won't lead to a bigger fight because of the lack of performance.

    The Williams fight is the one Shane should forget about. Williams will beat him no doubt.

    Kermit Cintron is the most overrated fighter at any weight in the past five years.

    TWICE clobbered unmercifully by Margo....even if it WAS with loaded gloves.

    How is this guy even talked about??

    exactly!

    The last time I saw him fight some scrub Martinez for the WBC strap at 154 and he should have lost by ko.

    Yet Mosley is targeting him? why? :bangh:

    Knowing Mosley, he'll take the toughest fight, which would be Williams. I think he would lose that fight.

    you do realize they have an option where you can give a heading to your posts.?

    an appropriate title would be 'diary of a mosley despiser'. hater simply isn't a strong enough term. you managed to pick him over nearly every opponent, yet give him zero credit for any victories at the same time. congrats, minge.

    Nobody here is thinking highly of him. The only thing I pointed out was his power that must be acknowledged. I also pointed out that in his last fight he was impressive in the fact that he threw over 1K punches.

    Left field suggestion, but I'd like to see Mosley-Witter or Mosley-Bradley. Both more interesting fights than any of the aforementioned, IMO.

    You've got to be kidding. You'd rather see Mosley run through 2 bums than have a competitive fight with Williams or Clottey? I honestly think Cintron would beat Witter and you know how low I think of him. Mosley would get absolutely killed by the critics for fighting those 2, and deservedly so too.

    Ronnie Shields wants Mosley fight

    Looks like Cintron's trainer Ronnie Shields is calling for the Mosley fight. Seeing as how he was in Forrest's corner he feels he can also train Cintron to beat Shane. :laughing:

    the fact that anybody wants to see him in with Mosley is praising Cintron in some way.

    Mosley has no business even considering Cintron. He brings nothing to the table and would get destroyed by Shane.

    Anything can happen in boxing, including when you have a young gun like Cintron who can punch. Mosley is past his prime my friend.

    So now we're endorsing the practice that the best fighters don't fight eachother? Shane wouldn't be the beloved fighter he is today if he'd taken your advice. He might be over-rated and hated on. But he wouldn't be as good and he wouldn't be as liked.

    Don't expect Shane to shy away from top competition.

    Shane will go life and death with Berto. Speed always gives Shane problems.

    Mosley has proven himself...over and over..he is at the end of his career..at 147 if he is not fighting Cotto, May, Pac...he should fight Berto just to stay in the picture...

    Fighting Clottey winning or losing against him won't bring him closer to a fight vs. the TOP 3...at least w/ Berto he will pick another strap..and will be a more fan friendly fight...


    and Williams?? FUCK WILLIAMS that bitch needs to pick a division and stick w/ it...

    Yeah, Mosley's established himself as a guy who'll take on top opponents...even when the risk/reward isn't always great.

    But then, he also hasn't been a fighter who can sell major fights on his name alone.

    He still wants top competition...but these days he wants top competition that pays...and at this stage, it's hard to blame him.

    Mosley's legs really didn't look that good to me against Margarito. I'm not sure he has a whole lot left, and I think he's motivated by the idea of one last payday.

    Berto could be a risk to that. If nothing else, it should be very entertaining.

    I like the fight.

    Clottey's a good fighter, but what's he bringing to a fight? No hardware. No money. He got the Cotto fight b/c he had been a titlist and was promoted by Arum...and he was a fighter nobody would feel bad for if he lost a close decision.

    Now, if Clottey is open to moving up in weight, maybe he and Angulo could give it a go at 154.

    People think it's a given that Mosley loses to Clottey, but I would doubt it. Clottey just isn't mentally tough enough to deal with Mosley for a full fight. Clottey'd look great early, but as usual would fold down the stretch.

    I agree Shane shouldn't fight Clottey because it would be a lot of punishment he doesn't need to take for a stay busy fight that wouldn't even be on PPV.

    I see Berto being on his bike against Shane more than we've ever seen him. His team would absolutely need a strong game plan with heavy emphasis on the jab and staying out of the pocket. Still though, Shane has a very good stratigiest in Nazim so it's not a given that Berto will last long.

    It actually seems unfair for Shane to be fighting Berto, they're not in the same class.
