Manny Pacquiao VS Shane Mosley

[OumaFan]

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.

Pacquaio simply said he's willing to fight Mosley. He also said that it's up to his promoter. So there is no assurance yet that this fight will happen. However, in case it does, this will be a very difficult fight for Pac but his speed and POWER will prevail on this.

People are saying that Mosley is sort of an idiot if he fights below 147 but they don't see it that PAcquaio would be a complete moron if he fights at 147.

Pac haters are here again claiming to be knowledgeable in boxing.

Generally speaking, a fighter that goes up in weight is clearly put at a disadvantage. What Pacquaio is doing is simply trying to make the game fair by fighting at a catchweight coz he is simply at a disadvantaged position. Remember guys, Pac was at 130 lbs last year and you're hoping that he goes up to 147 to be massacred there and you CALL yourself boxing fans? Let's be real boxing fans here and you will accept that Mosley and Pac fighting at a catchweight is but fair.

Ohhhh, you're now afraid that what happened to DLH may happen to Mosley coz most of you, haters, predicted that PAc will go down easily against DLH but you were proven deadly wrong. So you're claiming now that DLH was weight drained. HAve you forgotten that weeks before the fight, DLH was already weighing somewhere at 147. I don't see any real weight drained DLH there. What we saw was PAcquaio overwhelming de la hoya with his speed and POWER. Diaz admitted after the fight that PAc was too fast, HAtton didn't believe it so he went down easily. Now let me remind you again, Pac's arsenal is not only his speed. Never underestimate his POWER.

PLease..... as Oumafan had stated, let's stop the hating.You're all becoming like VD here.

Don't get me wrong but before I became a Pacquaio fan, I'm the biggest Mosley fan in real life. You can actually call me a Mosley nuthugger and I won't mind.

I'm in the same boat as you Bruce.

Having Pacquiao fight at 147 isn't fair to him. I think the 144-145 range will the the fairest way for this fight to happen. When the catchweight is mentioned people just think about De La Hoya and how weightdrained he was when he fought Pac. Shane's frame is smaller than Oscar's and is naturally a smaller guy. Pac was fighting at 130 a year ago and now he's fighting higher than 140 for this one yet he's the con artist?

Plus, Pac is #1 P4P according to the standard used by the boxing world. Why should Pac go to someone else's weight class when they should be looking to make the fight with him. A catchweight at 144-145 is the fairest way IMO. Anything less is unfair to Mosley, anything more is unfair to Pacquiao.

Lot of sense Pre...

[KKisser]

mosley's got bigger nuts than pac, you'll enjoy it bruce. lol

[Mr140]

Well thanks rain and since cut me kinda left i remeber him saying somthing that made it look like pac was not the champion. Because there was another champion in the division and they did not fight kinda how the Leonard thing was i could be wrong think fenster knows about it.

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.
