Manny Pacquiao VS Shane Mosley

[AdamGB]

In my opinion the title is on the line. Pacquiao has only 2 to 3 fights left. So I think in case he won the title we will not defend it. Or in case scenario Pacquiao will fight Andre Berto after this at no catch weight in 147lbs because Manny have a chance against him without catch weight. And the last will be against Miguel Cotto.

If Pacquiao wins? I not telling he will win but he have a chance. You know Pacquiao - he is unbelievable and he always SHOCK the world.

My hearts tells me Manny Pacquiao will win this fight but my brain tells me Mosley will win... I don't know. But the real deal is if Manny Pacquiao wins this one. The critics will say:

Oh Manny Pacquiao wins because his to old

or

Oh Shane Mosley is dehydrated!

or

Oh Shane Mosley is not in his prime anymore.

I sick and tired hearing this thing. No matter how many excuses the critics made. Manny Pacquiao is already an All Time Great. In case this are the reasons why Pacquiao wins. Let Me say this to critics - SHAME ON YOU! Manny Pacquiao fought BIGGER opponents and you don't give a damn credit? SH*T What a as* Hole!

if Mosely looses and doesn't look dehydrated then why would people say he was dehydrated?

if he is dehydrated there will be a sharp contrast between his sharpness and stamina compared to his last fight. We will be able to tell... we wouldn't just make it up because we don't like pac (Everybody likes Pac... though some of his fanboy nut hugging fans are irratating and make you want him to lose just to shut them up... which is unfair on pac)

I just read press releases that this fight has yet to be a "done" deal, contrary to what we already are discussing here plenty. The same report likewise indicated that the Mosely camp may have exercised misleading the press, in indicating the certainty of this fight.

The PacMan tho' has not rejected the possibilty of a fight with SS Mosely, nor validated the veracity of theses initial reports, nevertheless he left this task to the promotional/training arm of his group.

However as of today, any of that sort has yet to be official. Last word was that Bob Arum, his promotional outfit, denied any such deals had been made, and any such fight as officially "on".

So... not so fast, Shane.

Just to clarify, this is a welterweight title fight at a lower catchweight

huh, well the just proves that even if PAC wins the "welterweight" title, he has no intention of keeping it. Unless maybe he fights a few lower tier fighters at 147.

Delusions of grandeur for PAC it sounds like.

Yeah,its getting pretty obnoxious.Frankly...Mosleys a dope if he drops below 147....Pac should have to make the weight to stake the claim.These name affairs are ever increasing.I do think it will be a nice fight,but Mosley should compromise nothing in his existing advantages.

Why does Pacquaio have to move up?

Mosley was the one who really got this ball rolling after all. He wants it.

You could just as easily say Mosley was picking on a smaller guy but that goes against the grain around here these days. I've got nothing but respect for Mosley but the criticism of Pac around here is hilarious. A year ago or so he was fighting at 130 ffs.

why do these guys who claim to know boxing, moaning about the welterweight title.

The title can be up for grabs between the weights of 141 - 147. If the champion agree he'll fight at a catchweight between those pounds, then the title will be on the line.

Shane usually weigh ins right on the dot of 147, he himself believe a few pounds wouldn't be a problem. I think its 2 pounds less at 145 were they agreed on. If I remember correctly pac weighed in 142 for oscar, his only fight at 147 and shane has fought above welterweights. I would rather have the fight at 147 without catchweight cause I know some of these anti pac will discredit the win cause they dont understand the rules for boxing titles.

I think the catchweight is fair because pac hasn't settled in at any weight class above 130. he fought once at each of the three he came up to. Shane has been in with much bigger fighters then pac and shane has ko'ed those guys. Shane being Shane he knows that it would be fair to agree on a catchweight.

I think these guys just dont want pac at a shot of his 7th division title especially not the one shane is holding cuase that would be pacs 5th lineal title. Plus these guys have openly admitted misfortune wishes opon thee pacman, sad adults really

[Mr140]

Rain quick question i still dont get how he had a lineal title at 112 because the ring is the one to keep track of it and they dont have him there. Its like saying that Leonard was a lineal titlest at 168 becasue there none listed at the time enless you have some source i am missing or somthing.

I think Manny can come it at what he feels comfortable with,as long as he makes the limits.The bigger thing with me is that if he wants the cred and accomplishment,he needs to fight Mosley at Shanes best as a genuine welter Champion...and its not below 147.Manny has managed to impress and pack on the weight within a short time but for he and Roach to ask Mosley to come in less than his fighting weight range for the last 10 years is a little short sided Imo.But hey,your right Mosleys looking & I think if Mosley does it,its not a wise decision.
