Manny Pacquiao VS Shane Mosley

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Floyd is making People put on Weight to fight him.
Pacquiao is asking people to loose weight to fight him.

What is going on

Mosley is fine at 147 fighting natural 147lb'ers. If Pacquiao wants to fight Mosley then he should allow Mosley to fight at the 147 limit.

Boxing is such bollox these days its untrue

[HattonTheHammer]

just dont see why on earth the pacquiao would take this.

Shane Mosley is the smartest boxer in the middle/lower divisions and has already proven time and time again he can counter aggresive fighters by fighting off the back foot.

If shane can make weight and doesnt become an old man over night then i dont see how pacquiao can stop him which would be his only way to win the fight as he sure as hell aint outpointing mosley!

Shane won't become and old man over night, in boxing years he's is already methuselah. Everything is relative. He didn't look old against Margachito because he was methodical and slow as molasis. Against Pacquiao he'll look like he's slowed and people will blame it on the weight. Mosley will be overwhelmed by Pacquiao's speed and stamina of youth by comparison. What will make it this fight competitive is Shane's advantage in weight and ring savvy. Shane will not make it to the 11th round.

I agree, it's fucking crazy, a fight at a catchweight for a 147 title just makes no sense, greed is doing such huge damage to boxing it's actually changing it. The big draws are all making fights at weights they have no business at, convincing us it will still be entertaining and we pay to see yet another weight drained or undersized fighter get slaughtered.

Sad times

I while go with Shane Mosley and i dont think he while drain him self like Oscar Dela Hoya think he is to smart to let that happen to him.

I hope you're right. But he wasn't smart when he took immediate rematches with Forest and Wright imo, so we'll see

[Mr140]

Did not think he did so bad in rematch with Forrest and Wright was just plain bad match up but he want to know for sure but we will see. Think he trying to get and win all the big fights to make his spot in history. He going for it all because he was to be rember with the other sugars like Leonard and Robinson and we well see if he can get to that level of greatness.

To his credit though, he did give a better account of himself each time.

Im just worried because i know he struggled to get off 1st against Cotto and i am now in a process of sussing out whether or not Pac is that guy also.

People are calling Floyd for doing this aswell .Pac apart from Hatton fought an old De La Hoya and made him come down in weight,Is he hoping that Mosley will be the shot at that weight like Oscar was,either way its very smart not to fight them at there natural weight.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Yes and IT'S very dumb for Mosley NOT to fight at his natural weight.

[CFH]

Yes and IT'S very dumb for Mosley NOT to fight at his natural weight.

It's all about the money. Mosley isn't going to be nearly as effective below 147, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was a repeat of the ODH fight. I won't give Pac much credit should he win, because I think it's an almost certain thing should Mosley be forced to come in at 144, which sucks because I really think Pac could beat him at 147.

[levi#1BoxingFan]

I see this fight going alot like Cotto vs Mosley accept more one sided. Cotto landed the crisper shots of the two and Pacquiao has quicker hands than Cotto. I dont see a knockout for either of them, but Pacquiao landing the cleaner and more volume of shots. If the little bit of weight loss doesn't effect Mosley for the worse than this will be a heck of a night! Like Freddie Roach said, when Pacquiao and Mosley step in the ring they come to fight, not just to win!

[JazMerkin]

Doesn't look like this fight is that certain to happen

Roach: 'Mosley not on my radar'

I think Roach doesn't represent himself well at the end when he trys to compare the Oscar of 2000-2002 with the one Pacquiao beat. Shame as having met Roach I genuinely like the guy.
