Re: Am i the only one who thinks Pacquiao should be fighting Mosley??
For everyone saying Cotto is the weaker opponent and everything.
Put Mosley in there with a young gun like Clottey and not someone who telegraphs everything he throws and see how much better he looks against Clottey then Cotto. It's sort of amazing how he blitzes Margarito who is someone tailor made for him to look spectacular against and people forget the trouble he had with Mayorga. Clottey is a different kind of beast at this stage then Margarito . If you put Clottey in with Shane you'd probably see Shane have a lot of trouble too and then you'd be flip flopping who was the weakest.
I personally think that anyone that is behind a Cotto vs Pacquiao fight or a Mosley vs Pacquiao fight can't hate on Mayweather for fighting Marquez.

:confused:
He beat DLH and refuses a fight with a guy who beat him twice? No reward?

Oh I totally agree. I am just looking at the big picture and saying which way I think it will go judging from what Freddie has said.
I think a lot of fighters actually get better after 30 especially ones that rely on boxing brains rather than the kind who use natural athleticism and skill. I think 2 good examples are B-Hop and RJJ, 2 of the greatest boxers of the last generation but Hopkins had the better final straight so to speak, as he relied on his brain more than Jones whereas when Jones lost that razor sharp speed he got taught the hard way then had to go back to the drawing board and improve his thinking game but was never the same.

I agree Pac vs Mosley is the better fight, but the best fights don't always get made and sad to say they are looking out for Pac's best interests in not going with that fight now. Even if Mosley is getting long in the tooth, he still presents Pac with a huge challenge, too huge when fights like Cotto can be made for smaller risk.

Shane fought Margarito then same way he fought collazo he stood toe to toe and was willing to trade. I fail to see the logic in saying that mosley would look bad against clottey just because cotto looked bad. And now Margarito was tailor made? Must be why he was the favorite, why he shitted on cotto, cintron twice, clottey too three young guns with his telegraphed punches. And what does the mayorga fight have to do with anything? So if he had and off night or found it difficult against an awkward opponent, didnt he fucking stop Mayorga at 154?
As far as PBF v JMM, I don't have a problem with it because JMM is better than PAC anyhow, I'd just rather see JMM take a tune up above 140 before jumping in with a rested floyd. And I think PBF v Shane is the best legacy fight out there for any of them. All the others are simply about money first, legacy a distant second.

I seem to remember, that blitz, came after Margarito was hurt, but I'll take a look again myself.
Because, I think your overrating Mosley in his fight against Margarito just a bit too much in comparison.
Re: Am i the only one who thinks Pacquiao should be fighting Mosley??
Roach isn't putting Pacquiao against Mosley because Mosley has very very good power and a very good chin.
Cotto is the easier fight stylistically for Pacquiao because he can be hurt. In his last fight Cotto appeared to not be the same mentally since the Margarito fight and of course, Roach has spotted this.
Then again, Cotto looking vulnerable against Clottey could all be do to with Clottey being a very tough opponent.
I still think Cotto beats Pacquiao but Pacquiao winning wouldn't surprise me.
Against Mosley, I don't see him winning but then again, i can't count Pacquiao out.
Re: Am i the only one who thinks Pacquiao should be fighting Mosley??
Now yal are finally startn to Hear Jimmy Like in White Men Cant Jump..Exactly,I said this long time ago.Now how this should go down is...Pac wants to be welterweight champ,Mosley the only way through that door.So what let Mosley destroy Pac,Thats not the big pic.Everybody says Floyd would do the same thing so whats the big deal.?I will tell you,Floyd Holds what welterweight tiltle,,Dont worry I'll wait....None.So Y would Floyds fight be more exciting than two Champs.Pacs a Champ Shane a Champ..The big pic for me is tricking Floyd back to Fighting 147 like he suppose too.Ok check real quick then im gone.I dont care wether its Cotto or Mosley,they fight pac steal the light fro him,now Pretty boy gotta fight one of them at 147.Now heres the sweet part,Magarita is back,an you know Paul Williams wanna get in on that action,pretty boy is trapped,an Who dont wanna See Pretty Boy An Williams,Thats the fight i wanna see,since he so good an all....PEACE LUV AN HAIR Grease,MJ,RIP.

Agreed to an extent. PBF v. Shane needs to happen. It needed to happen before and it needs to happen now. Actually, scratch that, PBF v. any legitimate welter needed to happen before and needs to happen now, but PBF v. Pacman is a pretty big legacy fight too.
Pacman versus any legitimate welter at above 145 isn't something to laugh at either. If Pac fights and beats Cotto and anything above 145, that is a big legacy fight although not quite as big as the one mentioned above.
