A bit of a lose lose for PacMan though. He continuous to fight boxers who PBF already dismantled. He does it in more spectacular fashion but at the end of the day he's fighting guys that look considerably less formidable than they did pre-PBF.

Indeed, Mosely has taken quite a fall...going from a 1b-4-lber, the WW no one wanted a piece of, the man who dismantled Margorita, to over the hill.

JMM desreved a 3rd fight. Pac gave up chance to clear up his one blemish.
I disagree. A fighter turning back the clock after 40 is the exception rather than the norm and more so against the PFP number one fighter in the world. Sure Mosley has a chance, but I think it is now a slim one. I will be hoping and praying that he puts up a good showing or even shocks the world, but like GB I worry about Mosley. I don't want to see an old legend go out with a pounding. He seems to lack stamina and output and isn't the sharpest defensively. Pac is going to be turning the buzzsaw on him. Suggesting that he take illegal supplements is no way to validate the fight either.

A Marquez fight would have been better, but I see no way to justify Marquez fighting him at 147. Regardless, we now have the fight we have been given.
