Pacquiao ready to accept Mosley's challenge

[Violent Demise]

Honestly, if this fight happens, I'd be surprised if Mosley wins. I have alot of respect for him, but I don't think he'll deal with Manny's speed popping in and out with combinations at this late stage of his career. I'm sure most will disagree, but I think Manny would win.

Shane needs to watch the Oscar Pac fight again and ask himself "Do I really want to leave the sport in that fashion?"

He does. But what Mosley has in his favor is the fact he hasn't absent from the 147 division as long as Oscar was. And it's obvious Mosley can still pull the trigger

Manny has a great chance, but he and his fans should totally disreguard past fights as a reason, mosely won't show up in the ring weighing 112 pounds and mosely dodges punches not block them with his face. Age doesn't mean much, pac has had a ton of fights and mosely just beat margo while divorcing his wife, firing his father, being caught up in the balco crap, and damn near being cheated all at the same time. No one knows who will win this one.

If the fight is made at 145+ and Mosely can manage to boil down to it then I think he could do a number on Pac.

Perfect combination of a fighter/boxer as far as beating Pac is concerned... they better hope that they manage to weight drain him.

I consider the fight with Mosley at a catchweight of 144 as the most difficult for PAC at this stage compared to Floyd (@143), JMM (@140) or Cotto (@143)... Props to PAC for considering the most dangerous fight...

Why don't you rank the 4 (Shane, Floyd, JMM, Cotto) possible opponents for PAC from most dangerous to least dangerous? Do it Mr. Kel...

I agree. Arum is being a dick right now. He says "they're still looking around for the best deal." A 60/40 split with Shane Mosley is easily the best deal out there.

It is your opinion and I don't agree with your opinion.

One of the names you mention already beat Pac twice and is facing PBF next.. unless your a complete retard can you understand why I don't need to say anymore?

The other three you mention are Welters but Pac won't fight them at their most effective weight. What is stopping Manny? De La Hoya was such a beast at 147 and he beat him up... yeas? Like tiger with angry teeth!! No?

'Fact', and not 'opinion' is Pacquiao never lost a fight to any of those fighters. Nobody can't change that fact with an opinion. If saying it makes you feel good then go ahead.... feel goood! Saying it ain't a dig to 'nuthuggers' because it's on deaf ears. Marquez drew one fight and lost the other one. 'Fact' not 'Hallucination'

'haters' and 'huggers' whatever... "Get over it!".

So what's the problem?? If you want not to include JMM then we'll erase JMM from the list... So among the 3 boxers (Shane, Floyd and Cotto), I consider Shane @144 as the most dangerous opponent for PAC at this stage... Floyd @143 is next and Cotto @143 is the least dangerous... You got a problem with my list (opinion) then show me your list or voice out your opposing opinion... This is a democratic boxing discussion board... You're free to post your opinion as long as it is within the forum rules...

But Mosley hasn't been below 147 in ten years and while he may be able to pull the trigger at 147, I'd be surprised if he was the same fighter at 144/145.

Has Mosley ever fought anyone as fast as Pac?

That's well within the normal parameters of the weight class. It's basically weighing 147, the contracted weight for the fight. A fighter isn't going to weigh in exactly at whatever the contracted weight is all the time, to think they would is preposterous. There's a huge difference between that and 144/145.

Pacquiao on Erroneous Press Release: "Not Too Fast Mr. Mosley"

MANILA—Boxing’s No. 1 pound-for-pound best fighter Manny Pacquiao was surprised and flattered over the enterprising reports which came out in the media that a fight with “Sugar” Shane Mosley has been forged Wednesday. Apparently, a press release from a group associated with Mosley, the Entertainers and Athletes Group (EAG), came up with the story that Pacquiao agreed to fight the current WBA welterweight champion Mosley on Oct. 17.

“It’s funny that I am the last man to know about this supposed fight. I know everyone wants to fight me and I have said I will fight anyone, including Mosley. But I have not heard from my promoter or have seen any contract or fight detail. So, there is no fight yet,” said Pacquiao.

“I am flattered that even the great “Sugar” Shane Mosley is now going after me by any means. I am not closing the door on any negotiations, though, and I trust my promotional and training team to make the best decision for me,” added Pacquiao, almost a month after knocking out consensus 140-pound champion Ricky Hatton of England in only two rounds..

“For sure, my next match will be on June 18 to 21 and it will be against some of the best darters in the world,” said Pacquiao, who is bankrolling the $100,000 “Pacmania II Darts Tournament” in Burbank, California. “We have tried to invite Ricky Hatton to play a friendly match of darts with me, complete with a prize fund, but I guess he is still on vacation, according to his handlers. I hope he can still make it, so we can do a big side event.”

Top darters from all over America and other countries have already signified their intention of joining the event, one of the biggest darts competitions in years. Pacquiao, an avid darter, will compete with the likes of Brad Wethington, Scott Kirchner, Rob Heckman, Chris White, Ray Carver, Scotty Burnett, Nico Depaynos and Gary Mawson, among others.

Pacquiao is set to arrive in Los Angeles next week along with his family for a much-needed vacation. He will also fly out to New York to receive the 2008 Fighter of the Year award from the prestigious Boxing Writers Association of America on June 12 and attend the Miguel Cotto-Joshua Clottey Madison Square Garden fight the day after.

Filipino Rodel Mayol, now managed by Pacquiao, will be in the undercard. He challenges WBO light flyweight champion Ivan Calderon.

“I am not blaming people for coming up with ideas to lure me to fight them. I have said it before and I will say it again, I will not run away from a great fight. Floyd Mayweather is even using reverse psychology, saying he will not agree to fight me for a 50-50 purse. Of course everyone wants to fight me,” said Pacquiao.

“We will make the announcement at a proper time and a proper place after all the fight details have been discussed,” said the 30-year-old Pacquiao, a six-division champion who has won titles in the 112-pound flyweight division all the way to victories in other weight classes and over Oscar Dela Hoya at 147 pounds last December.

Pacquiao is still considering and choosing among a star-studded cast of would-be opponents including Mosley, Mayweather, who is facing Juan Manuel Marquez in July, Cotto, and a host of others.
