Manny Pacquiao VS Shane Mosley

[CGM]

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

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.

Well said Julius...

yeah, that would give the pachuggers something more to crow about and we certainly don't want to see that. lol

[hardcore_crash]

This is a very tricky fight and I could only hope that Mosley comes in shape and not loses to much muscle or water.
Those couple of punds could really hurt him, but he has Nazim and Hopkins in his corner.
He says he is always in shape, and constantly training, so he is not a part time fighter like De La Hoya.
Depending on how much Pacquiao moves and his pressure, or Mosley's, I am favoring Shane at this moment.
But I can't predict the future or the boxers' gameplans.

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.
