Thread: Is it just me?

Is there anyone else who thinks a Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao fight would be better than PBF VS Pac?!

Pac against most fighters would be more entertaining than PBF, but none will be as big. Love to see Pac Mosley though as well.

Hows things Matt?

I agree entertainment value would more than likely be a better entertaining fight, but I think majority want to see two of the best fighters this era get it on in there peaks.

Mosley would engage more.

Im great thanks mate, how about you?

And imo i'd much rather see a good fight rather than Mayweather being 'Mayweather' being cautious and boring!

100% it's a more entertaining fight. Mosley who early in the fight was losing to Cotto keep pressing right up to the end of the 12th round. Some say he even won the fight. He dominated Margarito (who had only lost a few close fights in the past 10 years) by standing right in front of him and kicken his ass. Everybody knows Floyd will just do his usual BS shoulder roll, throw one punch and run away. He'll land 14 of 28 punches around and bore the sh*t outta everybody.

pacquiao's team showed they don't want any part of mosley even at 140.

I wonder why?! Because it would be his toughest fight so far in his hole career, he isnt shot from a past loss, he can make the weight, and he has a great chin.

Everyone cries about floyd and how he fights yet these same people have bought and will buy every fight of his. All of the sudden mosely (who might not even beat berto) is the shit Mosely is a decent fighter no question, but i still remember him struggling against lesser opponets mayorga included. Floyd is crap, and everyone knows what he does in the ring yet no one can beat him or really even come close. The hate for the guy is ridiculous. The main reason people hate the guy is cause he's already beat, or would beat your favorite fighter. I used to hate the patriots for the exact same reason so I understand. I really wish he would have stayed retired, the longer he fights the sillyness just gets worse. I'm still waiting for pac to go for the heavyweight title at 145, totally possible. People are accepting all these other catchweitghts as valid so why not. Look let's just get to the bottom line once and for all. Any fight where floyd wins is considered a crappy fight. If he were ever to loose we'd hear none of al this garbage. He doesn't engage ? Engage him. He runs, cut off the ring etc......The thing is that's east to say and damn near impossible to do. So instead cry about a guy skilled enough to use his head instead of trying to impress fans who after he's gone will give a crap about all the punishmet taken. If other boxers had the ability speed skill to do what he does they would. Ask some of these guys 20 years from now when they can't even studder thier own name.

the big draw of pbf pac is a lot of people, probably the majority, want to see pbf knocked out. he is such an awesomely talented fighter, but has absolutely no class whatsoever.

Selling fights i get, you act the bad guy and its a foil for the good guy, creates interest, sells tickets etc. but he comes across as such a jerk outside of the fight promotion environment.

honestly tell me someone who stands in a club with wads of cash down the front of his trousers is anything but a total tosser. yes, it is his money to spend how he wants, i have no moral issue with him hosing it away, it just makes it very difficult to like him when he does it in such a crass way.

so yes, pbf is the big draw for this fight, but only because a lot of people want to see him on his arse, and if this happens, it will make it a great fight.

I would prefer to see Shane v Pac, but no one wants to fight Shane, he is too dangerous.

No question that Mosley would come to fight and that it makes better match up entertainment wise.

Had Mosley waited instead of signing with Berto, I have no doubt that a Pacquiao / Mosley fight would already be on the table. I suspect Arum would rather leave Mayweather out of the money equation for pure spite.

Mosley getting divorced adds motivation for him in the ring so that he can get back that lifestyle he enjoyed.

Look Mar this is all very simple. Floyd is shit to watch because he steals rounds, he is scared to trade and he is scared to test himself unless he gets copious amounts of cash and even then he will fight with a safety first approach. It's not crowd pleasing and when he is ducking, avoiding and spoiling he is not fighting, which is what he is being paid millions to do.

Would you really like to see what Floyd is made of? I would, been waiting all his career and the closest we saw was when Castillo handed his bollocks to him on a plate(mention the re-match you know you want to...again) Guys with great defense like Whitaker or SRL could have easily fought as 'scared' as Floyd but they were real fighters and they tried to take guys out.

In a nutshell Mar, people want to see this cunt get his face mashed in, me included, because he is the biggest pussy I have ever seen that claims to be something great. That's why people buy his fights, to see him lose, that don't bother him though, he has no desire to be great he has said it himself and he never will be in my mind anyway. In truth, there are many fighters past and present who could adopt his pussy style of fighting with ease but I don't think fighting that way ever crossed their minds.

You ever heard of streams kid?
The last time I spent my pennies on the chump was Castillo 1

He was dominating Marquez-a lightweight
Pacquiao dropped this guy 4 times
Money should change his name to riskless or no balls
