Shane better watch out or they'll start calling him Roy Jones Jr. Jr.!
Since it appears a Forrest or Lewis vs Mosley fight ain't going to
happen this year and Shane wants to fight in the 18,000 seat
Indianapolis Expo Center, they should fight Cory Spinks. Out of all
the guys mentioned in the article as possible Mosley opponents, Cory
is the only one that has a marketable name, if not reputation.

The House is controlled by the Republicans,

Aw, come on man! Shane's got about 5 years of resting on his laurels before we
could begin think about calling him RJJ! ;-)

Wanna bet how many boxing fans know who Cory is? 8-)

Shane would take him apart. Wouldn't even be competitive.

I don't know why you keep picking on RJJ. Damn man...leave it be
already! RJJ retired from boxing 6 years ago...and your still harping
on him.

That was a pretty good line. I have used it before in conversation, but I know
if I ever use it in here you will try to bill me royalty fees.

Yeah, I agree Shane would beat him easily. Shane would beat anyone on
the list mentioned in the article easily. But at least there'd be
some marketable material involved in promoting the son of a former
world heavy weight champ.

As far as I can see (I even cleaned my glasses before typing
this), Cory either doesn't have a good PR man or no one really cares
or both. I've seen him several times and haven't been overly
impressed. He's fast but is limited in skills. I really don't think
he's promotable just because he's Leon Spink's son - gotta have
something to back up any promotion and I don't think he does.

LOL! yeah, I think so too, but I don't understand why the Shane camp
is not considering fighting Forrest soon. AFter all, Forrest now has one of
the belts. Who knows, maybe Shane is too superstitious and still has the ameteur
loss to Forrest on his mind.

Maybe they are and maybe they have and maybe things ($$$,
etc.) aren't to everyone's satisfaction.

Highly doubtful. Shane doesn't hang on to old memories like
this and has never been superstitious in that area.
