Mosley: I want Pacman now!

[C-Lo]

Mosely wants to retire with a BIG PAY DAY!! Fighting at a catch weight, he will lose alot of advantages and Pacquiao can then take an Old Mosely weight drained.

He wants to get paid a good cheque one last time. I don't blame him, but the two best pay days for him are against both Mayweather or Pacquiao. I think for him to get to Mayweather, he has to fight and Beat Cotto. Those are some big ifs and buts. Then Pacquiao also has to choose him.

If that happened, I would then figure Mayweather could perhaps fight Cotto, as he does have a list, or sit it out and await for the likely winner Pacquiao if it's at such a low weight. What they are clearly saying is, noway are they putting Pacquiao with a Welterweight who is still dangerous.

I think that's the whole thinking process behind Roach. Pacquiao is the P4P best fighter in the world. Mosley wants the fight with Pacquiao more than Pacquiao does. Mosley needs to come to him not the other way around. Pacquiao still has yet to weigh in as a true welterweight so I would think 145 catchweight would be the best scenario for this fight to happen.

I would want pacman too if i were going through a divorce whose ex wife wants spouse and child support

i would also like the biggest purse there is esp since im alrdy 36 towarfds the end of my career..... =(

i really hope shane get this fight, cause if he doesnt the divorce is going to make him fight till hes like 40 sumthing

Oh, the formerly known as Jin Mosley. What a b*tch! Let's post this up so we can all think she is, as a unit.

hi, i'm new here. nways back to the topic, the pacman has a very good chance of beating mosley if the fight will be made at under 144 but if it will be on 147, mosley will have a great size advantage against pacman. this is gonna be a great fight if they will face each other. another classic match up

Welcome to Saddo! Easily my favorite place to be on the internet.

I know you can't blame Pac for it, it's Shane's choice if he chooses to fight Pac at a weight he will not be fully effective at.

Pacquiao has been coming into the ring about 148, even at a catch weight Mosley will have 10 pounds on Pacquiao in the ring. Without the catch weight Mosley has like what, 12 pounds easily.

Of these three, Mayweather, Mosley, and Cotto, Mosley is the fighter that gives Pacquiao the most trouble.

I think all the names you mention can trouble Pac at 147.

Absolutely! Mayweather, Mosley, Cotto, would give Pacquiao HUGE trouble at 147. Those three are already settled into the weight class while Pacquiao is still naturally smaller than them. Even at 145, the catchweight I see these fights making sense at, they're still toss ups.

Welcome to the forum.

tnx man. hoping to have a nice stay here

Its a trap dude, get out while you can.

This forum has been the #1 cause of procrastination of work, household chores, and anything else I try to get done. I would probably be a much more productive person had I never found out about this place. With all that being said, I love it here!

[C-Lo]

BTW! Is anyone else upset that Mosley said these things and it basically lets Floyd slide? What was the whole point of Mosley reacting to the Floyd interview if he's only going to forget about it and chase a fight with Pacquiao? I really wanted to see Shane push a fight with Floyd...

I think 2 things about Shane.

1. He really wants to fight the best opposition possible.

2. He wants to head off PBF who's going to go for a Pac fight and avoid him.

If Shane beats Pac, he's in the drivers seat and no excuses for PBF. If he doesn't fight him, clearly it's ducking. So it's a tactical move and a fight that makes sense. Very dangerous fight for both men. I gotta go with Shane on points. I think he outboxes Pac with a great strategy devised by Bhop and Nazim Richardson.

I don't think Pac can hurt Shane and Shane's handspeed is good enough to punch with Pac.

I think Shane has the boxing skills and power to knock Manny out. Manny's chin still has yet to be tested in the upperweights because he hasn't been hit with anything meaningful between Diaz, De La Hoya, and Hatton. Which is also another reason I think people underestimate the fact that Manny's defense is well improved from what it once was. But that's another thread...

I don't see Manny knocking out Shane. He would have to win on points. Shane's chin is too tested.

All Mosley has to do to beat Pacquiao is use a carbon copy of the Marquez fight and not get knocked down. Pacquiao hasn't changed, his opponents have. And Hopkins knows something about taking someones strategy and using it better against a knockout artist everyone is high on.

I don't know about Shane copying Marquez' game plan. Marquez is a different type of fighter and his own abilities were the reasons he made Pac look bad at times. I don't think Shane would be able to fight the same kind of fight. Shane would have to land the harder more significant shots because I think it would be Pacquiao landing in higher numbers. The punch that I think would give Pacquiao problems is that fake jab to a left hook that Mosely throws so well.

Shane wont follow Marquez' gameplan. He is better than Marquez.
Heres a guy who had a sucessful gameplan vs Pac

Any man who knocks out Manny Pacquiao is guaranteed riches beyond their wildest dreams but the last man to do it is earning a living on Thailand's domestic circuit for around 20,000 baht a fight.

MEMORY MAN: Medgoen racks up another win.

Ten years ago, in the south of Thailand, Medgoen Singsurat (who is now fighting under the name Medgoen Kratingdaenggym) stopped Pacquiao with body shots to win the WBC flyweight title.

It was the last time the Filipino - who lost his belt on the scales after failing to make weight - was beaten inside the distance and Medgoen said he even he had been surprised to overcome the red-hot rising star.

"Before the fight I didn't think I was going to win," said Medgoen, who is also 30 like Manny.

"He came to Thailand in 1998 and knocked out Chatchai Sasakul to win the belt and had looked impressive.

"My promoter Virat Vachirarattanawong got me a shot because he still had an option on Pacquiao so that is how I got my chance."

When the pair met, the Filipino was 26-1 while Medgoen was 18-0.

Yet despite his impressive ledger, the honest Thai said he realised why he was a big underdog for the fight as soon as he got a close look at his rival.

"He looked very big to me and I was worried about fighting him," said Medgoen.

"While I was warming up on the pads before the fight my trainer was telling me that I could win by knockout but I didn't think that was true.

"I knew he was tight at the weight and Virat said that I should be confident in myself and not to give Manny any room to set himself up for his left hand."

Despite all the advice, Medgoen told how his plans came crashing back to reality in the first round.

"I decided to be aggressive with him and started trading punches but he quickly caught me with a left hand to the head and it hurt me badly.

"He hit me so hard I went dizzy and I was surprised that one punch had done that to me.

"I just tried to cover up to make sure that he didn't do that to me again."

After composing himself during the break, Medgoen targeted Manny's body in an effort to slow him down and said he felt that the champion was deliberately moving away to avoid the shots.

"That gave me a lot of confidence because I knew the punches were hurting him," Medgoen explained.

"I kept it up in the third round and in the middle of the session I caught up with him and fired a combination to the body and he went down heavily.

"He appeared to be listening to the count but he was breathing deeply.

"I stood in the neutral corner thinking "don't get up!"

"He couldn't beat the count and the fight was over, I couldn't believe it and I was so happy. It was my dream come true."

After the fight, Pacquiao immediately moved up to super-bantamweight. His only other defeat until now came against Erik Morales on points four years ago.

Manny has gone on to superstardom while life has turned out very differently for the man who beat him that afternoon in provincial Thailand.

Medgoen made a successful first defence against Masaki Kawabata but was then stopped by Malcolm Tunacao to lose the WBC flyweight title.

Today he has an impressive-looking tally of 62-5 but has never managed to get back into the big time.

He was blasted out by Jorge Arce inside a round in November 2007 but mainly fights just for a pay day.

On Friday he outpointed novice Wanpadejseuk Sithsaithong on the undercard of Oledong Sithersamerchai's WBC strawweight title defence against Muhammad Rachman.

The father of one daughter doesn't feel bitter about how things turned out and instead wishes Pacquiao all the best.

"I watch his fights now and I want him to do well," said Medgoen.

"It is good to see an Asian boxer make such a big impact on the world.

"But whatever he does during his boxing career I know that he will always remember my name and what happened when we met 10 years ago."

Naw... I think Mosley was just positioning himself for a bout with Mayweather, if a bout with Pacquiao doesn't materialize. "He wants only Mega fights".

Oh, I never meant to imply Mayweather and Cotto wouldn't give Pacquiao trouble. of course they do. What I was trying to emphasize is that Mosley gives Pacquiao the "most trouble" of the three.

Good that Shane saw the light... The only way he can have a chance to fight PAC is to agree to a catchweight... Shane now a candidate to win the next Pacquiao sweepstakes...
