Shane Mosley "90% Sure" He's Fighting Manny Pacquiao - Bad Left Hook
Won't watch this shit if it happens. Just another fool the public fight.
"Manny doesn't fight black americans, so let's fight shane mosley, he's the most notable other that PBF, but the key is that he's old and clearly faded" - someone in the Arum Camp.
pointless at this stage of Manny's career
Didn't we all call this? Roach was talking smack saying Mosley was past it and he needs to retire and puts him down. So of course Manny was gonna fight him. Whenever Roach puts another fighter down like they are a bum it means its perfect for Manny to fight them. How many times is the public gonna buy into this?
I've spent the night on Youtube watching fat kids fall out of trees, so it would be daft for me to pretend i won't watch it. But it is pretty shitty. Mosley hasn't got much left at all.
Complete shit if it does occur...pac and roache's strategy at the higher weights let's fight dudes that just had the loss of their lives a fight or two ago....still impressive that he moved up so much but come on fight someone in their prime already.
The peoploe who buy this PPV if it happens are not boxing fans but Pacquiao fans......As a top notch bout maybe if it was the shane of 3 years ago.....
DLH made a career of doing the same thing except he did it early on Manny has gotten to the stage late...
I must be nuts. Name,promotion and style wise it makes cents to me. Mannys shown he can handle adverse size and surely Mosley would be around 154. Mosley is on the other side but Manny will sit in with him at times. Manny wont run and hug like Mora-less and is not Floyd swift on his feet...who Mosley tried to match speed with after hurting him badly early on. Slim and none but I cant say Mosley doesn't hit Manny on the chin and send him down. I honestly dont see Mayweather fight happening,so he has to shop for someone. And I think Berto is not nearly ready for Manny,Cotto 2...no thanks. Marquez 3 ???
daxxx,
oscar did the same thing (fighting washed up fighters) as pacquiao is doing? and he did it early on? okay, name those fighters oscar fought who were absolutely done! just because pacquiao is doing it don't try to make excuses or take the attention away from pacquiao and say that other fighters did what pacquiao is doing! you, are an extreme pactardo!

what? a pacquiao fan agreeing with me? NEVER!!!
I dont know why everyones bitching, the only problem I have with this fight, is I think Mosely should hang em up. BUT if hes gonna keep fighting he might as well cash in as much as possible. This would be a good gauge fight to see how Pacs speed/tech compares to Floyd.Beside, I think he will put up more of a fight than Margarito. If Pac shuts him down/ko's him, it makes Mayweather take a back seat. I'm getting pretty tired of this Pac/Floyd nonsense, its getting into RJJ, B-Hop territory.
Dorsey and Tyson were shot up pretty bad for Oscar. Hindsights 20/20 but those two were dead men walking....then again I thought Hernandez would school him :bucktooth:
oscar fought dorsey before he was a world champion. and tyson was a stay busy fight. it wasn't for a world title. nice try!
Done is done and shot is shot is the point. Charpintiesomething was openly mocked and didn't belong in the same arena. Molina and his toupee were not exactly fresh nor Chavez (:o) who deserved to lose his last two huge bouts...Whitaker and Randall 2.Quote:

If not Mayweather (which I haven't completely discounted), it should be Marquez or Berto.
