I think he is referring to the Chavez and Whitaker fights. But DLH did fight everybody so he does get the pass. I personally think Mosley is in this fight. (But I'm a Mosley fan) All in all, I think Daxx is agreeing with you that Pac is cherrypicking a Mosley who most think is past it.

[milmascaras1]

what? a pacquiao fan agreeing with me? NEVER!!!

Dorsey and Tyson were shot up pretty bad for Oscar. Hindsights 20/20 but those two were dead men walking....then again I thought Hernandez would school him

[milmascaras1]

oscar fought dorsey before he was a world champion. and tyson was a stay busy fight. it wasn't for a world title. nice try!

Done is done and shot is shot is the point. Charpintiesomething was openly mocked and didn't belong in the same arena. Molina and his toupee were not exactly fresh nor Chavez () who deserved to lose his last two huge bouts...Whitaker and Randall 2.

Were they PPV?

I'd have no problem with this fight if it wasn't for the fact that Mosley was coming off a draw against an at best B level opponent (admittedly I thought he won it easily) & getting outclassed & outfought by Mayweather. I'm not so sure Shane is completely shot, I think the last 2 may have been decieving because of the opp, but he needs to earn a fight against Pacquiao with at least a win.

If not Mayweather (which I haven't completely discounted), it should be Marquez or Berto.

[Mark TKO]

to be honest if Mayweather didn't exist I probably wouldn't have a problem with this.

But as long as he's around and the fight ain't happening then just about all major fight fans are going to feel short changed by whatever fights these two go for - that isn't versus each other.


By the way I don't blame Manny for any of it

Mosley may not be done, but since he last got a mega money, huge fight against Mayweather he's drawn against a very average Mora. He's not - or at least shouldn't be - in a position where he should be able to walk into another mega fight with the top fighter on the planet after his last two outings. Maybe they were deceptive as to how much he's deteriorated as Mora has a very difficult style to look good against and Floyd is capable of making very good fighters look ordinary, but still he hasn't earned this shot since his last mega fight by winning and forcing his way back into ther reckoning. There are other guys like Berto, JMM and the guys at 140 that are options and have been winning lately that are more deserving of a shot IMO. A Berto fight would interest me but I'd rather JMM 3

The earning part is it, agreed. Many ways it's his walk into stepping stone status, giving Mora can say he held him to a draw, literally and Mayweather had his way with him. He's riding name and promotional ties firstly, but still brings danger.

Dorsey was high profile, can't remember if it was HBO ppv. Tyson was a sham of a HBO co feature with pudgy Chavez fighting totally over matched Scott walker leading to their meet.

I consider this fight as a measuring stick to where PAC and PBF is right now in their careers. I dont think this Mosely is any different from the Mosely that losed to PBF.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Has anyone stopped to think that Mosley turns 40 in 2011? He has no chance against Pacquaio. I can understand a 3rd Marquez fight considering the first two were so good, but let's put Shane Mosley into perspective here. If people genuinely think Mosley still has what it takes then why not fight Martinez? The big loser here is boxing as this game of cat and mouse between Pacman and PBF continues.

[No Contest]

I dont know why everyones bitching, the only problem I have with this fight, is I think Mosely should hang em up. BUT if hes gonna keep fighting he might as well cash in as much as possible. This would be a good gauge fight to see how Pacs speed/tech compares to Floyd.Beside, I think he will put up more of a fight than Margarito. If Pac shuts him down/ko's him, it makes Mayweather take a back seat. I'm getting pretty tired of this Pac/Floyd nonsense, its getting into RJJ, B-Hop territory.
