Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao

[CFH]

...or Shane got affected by his divorce and the BALCO controversy.

Yeah, they were sure bothering him in the Margarito fight.

Margarito aint no Pacquiao. Plus they're the only excuses by pac's hater that they can think of incase Pac beats Mosley.

Margarito may not have the skills of Pacquiao but he's much larger, he hits harder etc etc. He's as much of a threat, if not more so, than Pac at welter.

Ofcourse Mosley would the biggest, and the fastest fighter Pac would ever encounter. But style makes fight. You'll never know what will happen.

Fair enough, but why do you feel the clash of styles favors Pac?

I would favor Mosley to beat Pac by a tad. But! I wouldn't be surprised if Pac shock the world and beats him.. simply because Shane never faced someone like Pac.

If I was Pac I would wait it out before I fought Sugar. Plus he has 1 helluva opponent in the Hitman coming up and this will be the fight that will determine if Manny belongs in the welters. I think Shane and Cotto should fight each other 1st in the rematch. I really want to see Pacman beat Ricky then see if Money Mayweather comes out of retirement and fights him by the end of the year. Then fight the winner of Cotto vs Mosley or a rubber match with JMM. If Manny decides to fight at 147 again then that is the weight he should continue to fight at from now on. Because going up and down on weight can take its toll on any fighter. But if it does happen then I gotta go with Manny by decision because I think Manny's style will give him problems. Or it might be a No Contest because both fighters fight on the inside and lead with their heads alot.

I like it when Mosley showed publicly that he eagerly chasing Pacquiao...

If PAC can demolish Hatton, then why not a fight with Mosley probably at a catch weight of 144-145...

But this is the list of boxers (in order of priority), I want PAC to be his farewell fight before he retires at the end of this year:

1. PBF - hopes he unretires and fights PAC if PAC defeats Hatton more convincingly than what he did to Hatton.

2. Cotto - he started mentioning PAC as a possible future opponent but I doubt he can get past Clottey this coming June.

3. Mosley - well he fervently chasing PAC.

4. Valero - let's see if he can succeed PAC as one of boxing superstars.

69. JMM - If PAC can't have a fight with anyone of the first 68 boxers on this list then maybe he can settle for JMM.

I really think Mosley would beat Pacquiao by a good margin,doing the bigger damage down the stretch.Mosley is comfortable facing much bigger fighters and would be very solid in frame,all around retained skills and huge fight experience,once he gets Pac backing up,which I think he would...he can call the shots.I dont think Mosley needs Pacquiao now but recognizes a huge cash cow when he sees one.One step to many for Pac I believe......who needs to stop reading the press clippings & be soley,entirely and completely focused on Hatton.

Pac vs Mosley would be a dream fight for me. I'm a Mosley nuthugger before I became a pacfan.

This would be very very exciting.

Why the fuck would Shane do that? Does PBF and Cotto have to fight at a catch-weight too?
