Who made you! Apologies to Keith moon!
Shane will have his 40th birthday before this is made.

Pacquiao has been coming into the ring about 148, even at a catch weight Mosley will have 10 pounds on Pacquiao in the ring. Without the catch weight Mosley has like what, 12 pounds easily.
Of these three, Mayweather, Mosley, and Cotto, Mosley is the fighter that gives Pacquiao the most trouble.
I think that's the whole thinking process behind Roach. Pacquiao is the P4P best fighter in the world. Mosley wants the fight with Pacquiao more than Pacquiao does. Mosley needs to come to him not the other way around. Pacquiao still has yet to weigh in as a true welterweight so I would think 145 catchweight would be the best scenario for this fight to happen.
Oh, the formerly known as Jin Mosley. What a b*tch! Let's post this up so we can all think she is, as a unit.

Welcome to Saddo! Easily my favorite place to be on the internet.
Absolutely! Mayweather, Mosley, Cotto, would give Pacquiao HUGE trouble at 147. Those three are already settled into the weight class while Pacquiao is still naturally smaller than them. Even at 145, the catchweight I see these fights making sense at, they're still toss ups.
This forum has been the #1 cause of procrastination of work, household chores, and anything else I try to get done. I would probably be a much more productive person had I never found out about this place. With all that being said, I love it here!
BTW! Is anyone else upset that Mosley said these things and it basically lets Floyd slide? What was the whole point of Mosley reacting to the Floyd interview if he's only going to forget about it and chase a fight with Pacquiao? I really wanted to see Shane push a fight with Floyd...
I think 2 things about Shane.
1. He really wants to fight the best opposition possible.
2. He wants to head off PBF who's going to go for a Pac fight and avoid him.
If Shane beats Pac, he's in the drivers seat and no excuses for PBF. If he doesn't fight him, clearly it's ducking. So it's a tactical move and a fight that makes sense. Very dangerous fight for both men. I gotta go with Shane on points. I think he outboxes Pac with a great strategy devised by Bhop and Nazim Richardson.
I don't think Pac can hurt Shane and Shane's handspeed is good enough to punch with Pac.
Naw... I think Mosley was just positioning himself for a bout with Mayweather, if a bout with Pacquiao doesn't materialize. "He wants only Mega fights".
Oh, I never meant to imply Mayweather and Cotto wouldn't give Pacquiao trouble. of course they do. What I was trying to emphasize is that Mosley gives Pacquiao the "most trouble" of the three.
Good that Shane saw the light... The only way he can have a chance to fight PAC is to agree to a catchweight... Shane now a candidate to win the next Pacquiao sweepstakes...

I think Shane has the boxing skills and power to knock Manny out. Manny's chin still has yet to be tested in the upperweights because he hasn't been hit with anything meaningful between Diaz, De La Hoya, and Hatton. Which is also another reason I think people underestimate the fact that Manny's defense is well improved from what it once was. But that's another thread...
I don't see Manny knocking out Shane. He would have to win on points. Shane's chin is too tested.

All Mosley has to do to beat Pacquiao is use a carbon copy of the Marquez fight and not get knocked down. Pacquiao hasn't changed, his opponents have. And Hopkins knows something about taking someones strategy and using it better against a knockout artist everyone is high on.![]()
I don't know about Shane copying Marquez' game plan. Marquez is a different type of fighter and his own abilities were the reasons he made Pac look bad at times. I don't think Shane would be able to fight the same kind of fight. Shane would have to land the harder more significant shots because I think it would be Pacquiao landing in higher numbers. The punch that I think would give Pacquiao problems is that fake jab to a left hook that Mosely throws so well.
