Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao

[Kel]

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

No 'in case Pac wins' where as Mosely is concerned.

No matter how hard I try I just can't see Pac living with any of the top WW's. I'm one of the few on here that thinks Hatton's power and strength will be too much for Pac, let alone a top WW.

Oscar said that Pac's punches don't hurt so what makes you think somebody with a chin likely Mosely couldn't just walk through everything he throws?

DLH lost his legs in the round 6 from head blows. FYI, accumulation punches are deadlier than 1 punch KO. That's the reason of the stoppage.

DLH entered the ring without his legs. He was completely fukked

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.

Well thank you for enlightening us Einstein. That has to be the most informative thing I've ever read on this forum personally. What if the accumulation doesn't result in death though? I know it's rare, Pacquaio most certainly will end up killing most of his previous opponents once the accumulation takes its toll years down the road; but could it be argued that a one punch KO would do more damage in the short term? Whadaya think?

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.

What do Lito Sisnorio, Choi Yo Sam, Duk Koo Kim, Chris Byrd, Victor Borgus, and Oscar Diaz have in common?

Did they all recieve the one punch KO?

Well?...

If you can't answer that, name one boxer who died from a one punch KO then?...

[brucelee]

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?

Haha That's part of Boxing Negotiation 101... PAC is the man of boxing right now... Shane is eagerly chasing for a PAC fight... He wants PAC then he should agree to go down to a catch weight to even things up since Mosley is naturally bigger... Same will apply to Cotto and PBF...

PAC was successful to have Hoya (the current boxing superstar) go down to 147... PAC could do the same to Mosley, Cotto and PBF...

So Shane should kill himself making weight.......like Oscar did? Oscar fucked up there but Manny agreed to fight at 147. Why should a Welter have to come down in weight too?

Tell me

Forget it,Mosley is not 'going down' catchweight to chase,disect Pacquiao.Thats is funny ....keep overlooking Hatton....Go ahead

Tell me

If Mosley is serious in pursuing a PAC fight then he should be willing to meet PAC halfway at 144 lbs. PAC is the man right now (specially if PAC annihilates Hatton) and it's expected for PAC to have the larger negotiating power...

Oscar fought PBF at 154
PBF fought Hatton at 147
PAC fought Oscar at 147
PAC will fight Hatton at 140

Weight class will come down to whoever has the larger say during negotiation...
.

[Kel]

NO! Just no!

Shane is too old for that shit are you crazy? Cotto moved up because he had to, he struggled to make 140.

Floyd? LOL, like that prick would ever give up an advantage....you really are mad!

That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. Mosley needs to come down to 144 to fight Pac?

Get out of here with this nonsense!! This place has become a freakshow.
