Was Paquiao/Mosley a success?

[Gandalf]

Not the only flogging Mosley took today, hes also taking one twitter apparently. Everyone disappointed in his performance and saying he robbed them of their money...which I dont really disagree with. All we asked was that he try, he didnt even look like he wanted to win.

Yeah, Mosley is to blame for not fighting. But at the same time Pac, Roach and Arum deserve to roast in the fiery cauldrons of hell for once again making a fight with someone who hasn't really earned it. The evidence was there for us all to see, but they made the fight regardless. Arum still regards this fight as a success, hopefully he will expire soon.

the fight was disgrace! moseley made me sick when he kept touching gloes with pac and hugging him at the end. he came to pick up a check and that was it..he should retire and manny should fight a decent opponent for once in his life. floyd and manny are as bad as each other for not fighting each other

[Dropanuke]

Manny was dogshit!
Mayweather would of stoppedmanny

PAC dropping Shane and hurting him more than PBF is a success for me.
Anyways any PAC fight that PAC wins is a success for me

Do you even watch the fight or do you just gaze into the eyes of your Pac cabbage patch doll and.....yha you know the rest.


All Pactards to is gauge everything in comparison to Floyd.....little insecure I take it or it wouldn't have been the first thing out of your mouth. Pac loses to Floyd accept it and be done and go back to Pac Land sites

I am sure we are going to have that horrid, old Arum say "Well this fight did 200 billion PPV's and we are all very happy". He will then walk away whilst his trousers fall down from the weight of all the pieces of gold in his pocket.

Having said that though, we were all critical of this fight being made. Sure, most of us wanted Mosley to put Manny through his paces, but ultimately the fight was a massive stinkfest. There was little demand after Mosley's recent run of form, it was cynical matchmaking at its best.

So financially speaking it was probably a success, but in terms of Manny's rep and boxing enjoyment it was pile of crap.

What do you guys think, success or a manipulative bore?

To be honest it's fight's like this which makes me wonder for the future of Boxing. Mosley was schooled by Mayweather, yet that performance was good enough to earn him at shot at Manny. They need to call time on the grandads farewell tour and Mayweather and Manny need to stop fighting each other opponents. I suppose Mayweather will fight Margarito or Cotto next.

I think it's time to give the younger guys a shot, maybe Vyacheslav Senchenko or Kell Brook, Amir Khan, Maidana, Tim Bradley maybe they will all get outclassed but in my opinion they will come to the ring more hungrier than Mosely and have more of chance of winning. I get the feeling that Mosley didn't even want to win.

I disagree. He looked like he wanted to win before he go dropped, his head was clear but check out his legs. He was wary of that straight hand and fair enough, he could have done more but what he should stand there and look to get stopped because armchair warriors didn't see blood. Tough shit.

Yeah I agree, he looked game until he got dropped. It hasnt happened in such a long time, mentally the fight finished for him as soon as he hit the canvas. I just would of liked him to throw more coz I honestly believe he could of done damage, he could of still done his moving just throw a left hook occasionally or a right hand.

Missy will doubtless be pleased to know that I agree with her. A lot of you are aounding like Romans talking about how you wanted more gorings and violent deaths.

If you can force a fighter of the caliber of Mosley into a defensive shell then you generally have to be one hell of a fighter.

The fact that nobody so far has been able or willing to engage with Manny since moving up to these higher weights demonstrates just what a force he is.

I do hope we will get to see the Mayweather fight, but so far Floyd has not looked like he wants it.

See one of my earlier posts. Manny Pac is without a doubt the new tyson, guys have already lost mentally before they get in the ring. I think PBF could be his Buster Douglas though.

First 4 rounds were great but I found myself getting bored for the rest of it.

mayweather already forced mosely into a defensive shell in his fight..manny just followed the blueprint like he did with hatton. when asked whether manny wants floyd..its the same answer time and time again "speak to bob arum"!
bottom line is that manny had the option to make some noise about floyd in postfight but yet again he knows he would be happy to finish his career without fighting a true slick fighter in their prime.

de la hoya - floyds leftovers, weight drained and past it
hatton - floyds leftovers and past it
cotto - catchweight, damaged goods after margocheato
clotty - picking up cheque
margarcheato - this guy cheated and should have been banned indefinatly, damaged goods.
mosely - floyds leftovers, and past it.

The only win that surprised me was cotto and manny did very well..at this catchweight. manny has great speed and great power but he knows what he needs to do to go down as a true legend.

floyd mayweather needs to grow some balls and make this fight happen in 2012 because being undefeated means nothing if you dont keep proving yourself.

[JonesJrMayweather]

I literally fell asleep. But was happy to know that shane didnt get his brains beat in. Glad I streamed it instead of buying it.

[THE THIRD MAN]

The fight went as expected, it was a shut out. Pacman either fights Floyd or retires IMO, all other match ups are a waste of time for fans.

[ElTerribleMorales]

complete crap of a fight, and proved nothing else, the stars of the show were Vazquez Jr and Arce, Arce being the one who really shined last night
