    I'm sure it's been done before, but I couldn't find it. How does this one go?

    Its a pick'em if you ask me.

    Shane might be able to pull out a tight decision.

    I cant see Shane beating the Chavez that destroyed Rosario. Too much pressure, too much accuracy from Julio for Shane to overcome. It'd definitely be a close fight though, Shane was too good for Chavez to beat him easily. I see Julio taking a close, but clear decision.

    I see Chavez vs. Taylor I.....but with Shane getting up from the knockdown..and surviving those last 2-4 seconds...

    Chavez aint knocking Shane down. Shane's chin is way more sturdy than Taylor's was. But at the same time, Mosley & Taylor had different styles although both did have one thing in common thats amazing speed.

    I think Taylor was a better in-fighter than Mosley. Taylor also had a better workrate, and threw more arm punches. Mosley loaded up on his shots more. Mosley was a sturdier guy and also more powerful.

    I would make Chavez a slight favorite, but a Mosley win wouldn't surprise me.

    Mosley would also be the bigger guy in there, as he was a pretty big lightweight.

    Chavez by decision on workrate.

    Chavez-Taylor 1 is a terrible analogy....
