    Absolute bollocks. You are telling me that Mosley deserves his shot? Based on what? Winning a round against Floyd and arguably outpointing, though getting a draw, against Mora? So, you can get a shot a shot against the best fighter in the world based on winning a round against the best and drawing with a journeyman? And it is me that has lost all perspective? Sure I have....

    I like the way you spin it, Bilbo. How many fighters look good after 40 and against the best P4P fighter in the world? Do you have an actual statistic for this? I bet it is zero. Nobody does. Mosley was a great fighter, but he clearly isn't anymore. The fact that you keep trying to defend it perfectly justifies my Russian analogy.

    You have nothing to support your claim that Mosley has it anymore. Okay, let's take it back further. Cotto won more rounds against Mosley than Mosley himself could take and Mayorga gave him hell up until the stoppage. That was a Mosley of half a decade ago. And suddenly we are to expect that he has moved on to a new dimension since.

    It is pure delusion and used only by Pac fans to try and justify to themseleves that this fight has meaning. My argument has credence and your five year plan will once again look weak when Mosley gets seriously hurt and I really don't want to see that.
    So who does deserve the fight with Manny then Miles? Would you like Manny to stop fighting until the Floyd fight could be negotioted? Maybe you would like him to move up and fight for a middleweight world title?

    I would like to see him fight Tim Bradley or Marquez at 140. Berto at 147 would be nice. And any other belt holder at 154. Mosley is really proving nothing right now.

    A Floyd fight would be grand and I would be supporting Manny all the way. I have given him credit after each of his victories, but I do criticise him when it is needed. Right now team Pac needs to be criticised.

    Anyway, I am pissed off with this thread. I am tired of being linked with anti-semitism. If anybody refers to me or links it to me I shall report it and leave it up to the MODS from now on. I argue my points and do so as well as I can, but when you get idiots swaying in every time saying "ÿou hate Jews" and "you are an anti semite"..well it's not true and at the least I never want to see this on the main board.

    Bradley isn't available Miles. He's preparing to fight Devon Alexander with the winner of that most likely facing Khan.

    Marquez......ok just answer me this. Is there any other fighter in all of boxing apart from Manny Pacquaio that you would expect to move down a couple weight classes to fight a guy he has already beat?

    Berto? That's a step down from Mosley imo. Berto hasn't beaten anybody of note and won't make Manny nearly as much money either.

    Tim Bradley is perfectly available. It's just that Arum wanted a signature. Now!

    As for Marquez, all we are suggesting is that he go up one and Pac go down one. That isn't revolutionary. And considering that Marquez has cleaned out a division and beaten Pac twice, he does have his own bargaining power.

    Berto has looked better than Mosley recently. Maybe Marquez should fight Pac and Mosley should fight Berto but of course it will never happen. The winners could then fight one another.

    This current fight is a money making plan only. Pac should feel ashamed for going through with it.

    Tim Bradley is not available, unless you think boxrec are mistken
    Timothy Bradley - Boxer


    If it's not a big deal for fighters to move down a whole weight class why the drama when Cotto moves down a single pound, and Margarito moves UP half a division for fights with Pac?

    Berto hasn't looked better than Mosley lately against comparable opposition. What wins has Berto had that were as impressive as Mosley's KO of Margarito. Has Berto even beaten anyone as good as Mayorga? I don't think so? He beat Collazo, but it was a hell of a struggle, Mosley breezed him, although of course the critics will immediately cry 'Broken hand! Broken hand!', just as they did for Clottey against Margarito, which as subsequent fights have demonstrated, not least against Pacquio, is just the way Clottey fights.

    Perfect logic and straight to the point Mr. Baggins. Miles is a bit off in this topic IMO.

    He wants Pac to move down to face Marquez but he doesnt give full credit to Pac for asking Cotto to move down 1lb.

    The ironic thing is that the haters of Manny actually rate him higher than his fans. They just take for granted that he can move up and down between about three weight classes and smash 'joke' opposition like Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley.

    The criticisms against him are amazing. I mean at welterweight he has beaten Oscar, Cotto, Clottey, Margo at 150 and is now fighting Shane Mosley.

    When Floyd when up to welter he fought Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah coming off a loss to Carlos Baldomir, then Baldo himself in a fight where he danced around the ring for 12 rounds and refused to engage for a second. He then dragged up Hatton and Marquez to fight him (I give him full props for fighting Oscar at 154 however, to me that WAS a big deal considering how many divisions Floyd climbed to ultimately get that fight).

    Manny basically immediately has fought all the guys Floyd dodged for years and has literally battered them around the ring, and some people can just gripe 'Oh but he made him lose a pound! This win means nothing! NOTHING!'.

    Let's face it, if Miles was present to witness Jesus feed the 5000 with 5 loaves and 3 fish or whatever he would be like 'Cod? COD? This is just common cod and white bread! Why didn't he make us some nice sea bass and a nice French loaf?' Bah! Rubbish, call himself the Messiah!!
