Am i the only one who thinks Pacquiao should be fighting Mosley??

It's a never ending story of the excuses. Mosley lost to Cotto, so logically it makes more sense for him to fight Cotto.

And Cotto got torn up against Margarito (the same guy that Mosley outboxed, out fought and generally just schooled) and then struggled to win convincingly against Clottey...

So really I think logic can go out the window...

If it were a round robin tournament, I'd agree but basically I'm only comparing Mosley and Cotto. Margacheato is not in the picture.

Yeah but my point is that Pac's team must know that Cottos is more flawed/vunerable than Mosley, hence taking cottos instead.

One thing that Cotto will have going for him is that Pac's team won't find it as easy to weight drain Cotto (on paper at least anyway) as with Oscar/the attempt at Mosley, he's not as big in the first place and isn't that long removed from 140.

People are tripping saying Mosley is a big risk low reward. Mosley is a big risk and a big reward. Pac would get the percentage he was looking for and money still along the lines of a Cotto fight. And Mosley is THE welterweight champ right now. Beating him is a much bigger reward than beating Cotto. It would be historical. A lot of people already see Pac beating Cotto. Very very few against Mosley. So the real problem is that Mosley is a big reward but way too big of a risk. It would knock off a lot of Pac's marketability if he got blown out. The other fights would then be less eventful. Mosley and Williams are the "stay away" welterweights for Pac. And Roach knows it.

De La Hoya did his 2 worst PPVs with Mosley. And usually the big names of the sport manages to do really well when fighting Oscar the cash cow. Not to mentioned the Margarito-Mosley fight didn't sell that well.

Hell Floyd called out Shane years ago when Floyd was still at Super Feather to do business in the ring and Shane said no, now Shane wants a big money fight and all the guys are saying hell no because you don't draw viewers. So basically a high risk low reward type of fight for everyone. Only Shane has himself to blame. If I was Pacman I would rather fight for bigger money with Cotto and his large fanbase of Puerto Ricans or Mayweather and his status in the game as the default P4p champ wtih a zero loss for the mythical p4p title.
