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

[Tysonbruno]

Shane has said he will take 40/60 split in Pacquiao's favour he will come down to 144lbs Shane is the number 1 Welterweight in the world surely this fight would be bigger than Pacquiao vs Cotto and i would love to see Mosley vs Pacquiao who is with me??

[BIG H]

He should only fight Mosely if he wants to get brutalized

[skel1983]

Id rather see Cotto v Pac, it is the bigger fight financially anyway.

[paddy448]

i would love to see the fight mate. cotto v pac is also a great fight tho, down the road i hope pbf v pac is made, its got to be the biggest fight out there

[Tysonbruno]

I think Mosley would Demolish Pacquiao inside 5 rounds and i think Pacquiao,Roach and Arum all know this and Cotto is the easier option as he has looked quite vunerable vs Margarito and Clottey although these are both class acts i just think Cotto's edge has slipped abit since his beat down from the Master of Plaster Antonio margarito.

[Boxerharvey]

At last someone that thinks the same as me. Pacman should definetly fight Mosley instead of Cotto but I think Pacman saw the weakness's in Cotto's arsenal after the Margarito and the Clottey fight and thinks it will be an easier fight than facing Mosley.
Mosley agreed to all Mannys and Roaches terms but still they both decided to fight Cotto instead. Who can blame Pacman for going for the easier fight I spose I just hope that Cotto KOs his arse.
I think Shane looked too good in beating Margarito and it has left him out in the cold with only a possible fight with the freak that is Williams (which I dont blame anyone not wanting to fight with his reach and punch output) and Clottey who is a dangerous fight but for little reward in imop.

totally agree

[Rantcatrat]

PBF should be fighting Mosely, not Marquez. Mosely would beat Pacquiao and PBF in my opinion. He is the class at 147, which is more the reason why Pacquiao should beat the rest before taking the biggest risk. Wait for age to catch up with Shane a little bit.

Mosely deserves a big pay day, but at the end of the day if it don't make dollas' then it don't make cents'. A fight with Cotto is a bigger fight financially and is less risky. Thus, there is no reason to fight Mosely with Cotto available. Cotto, like Pacquiao, is also managed by Top Rank, which means that fight makes more money for Arum. Additionally, Cotto beat Mosely.

And the Cotto fight is no easy fight by any means. It was agreed to be at 145 from what I understand, which Cotto can easily make. Cotto has fought the best welterweights in the business and has a near impeccable CV.

Also, after brutally destroying Hatton, absolutely crushing him and probably sending him into retirement, and making ODLH quit on his stool, Pacquiao deserves to take any fight he wants right now.

[belakbox]

I'd give Pacquiao credit for fighting any of the top welters with belts and would pay money to watch any of them. It makes sense for him to take the biggest money available. I think Cotto brings more money than Mosely, but I'm no expert on this by any means.

[fan johnny]

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

[AdamGB]

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...

[jon09]

I would love to see it but like other people have said in this thread, Mosley is more dangerous at this point than Cotto, who showed alot of vulnerability in the Clottey fight. Mosley has an iron chin and Roach probably feels that it will be along night if and when they decide to take on Sugar. Where Cotto is starting show alot more wear and tear as of late. I think most ranked Welters are hoping that father time catches up to Mosley and are going to avoid him as long as they possibly can.

[holmcall]

Mosley should take a tune-up and then fight the winner of PBF-JMM. In my opinion.

[generalbulldog]

Pac-Cotto is bigger event than Pac-Mosley. And why would team pac take a big-risk-low-reward fight?

Ding, Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.
The same reason why Pacman won't fight Mosley is the same reason why Mosley and basically every Welterweight out there didn't want to fight Paul Williams.

[Taeth]

Wow people on here way overrate MOsley, did you see him against Mayorga? The first Vargas fight? Against Vernon Forest? Against Winky WRight?

Mosley is a really good fighter, but look at what Oscar did to Mayorga, then what Mosley did against him, and PBF beat Oscar handily. Mosley is getting way too much credit for beating a sitting duck in Magarito who is slow as hell, and the only thing you have to do against him is move half decently.

Cotto beat Mosley, and I think Clottey would give Mosley more than he could handle as well. I mean Clottey wouldn't be hurt by Mosley, he has fast enough hands to land on Mosley, and his defense is good enough to block Mosley's predictable offensive sequences.

Mosley is in the same league as Cotto and Clottey and the rest of the top WW, which is a step below Mayweather, and possibly Pacquiao, I am not sure how Pacquiao skills will matchup against somebody with speed similar to his own because that has been his huge advantage against Oscar and Hatton so far. That being said Mosley is hardly a gifted counter puncher against anyone with any semblance of a defense, or he hasn't been for some time. IMO Marquez has the same type of handspeed as current Mosley, but he is so much sharper.

IMO Pacquiao-Mosley is 50/50
and PAcquiao-Cotto is 60/40, but it will be much bigger for the sport, and Manny will get similar credit as he should fighting Mosley because Cotto has much better timing, hits harder, and IMO naturally bigger than Mosley in everyway except height and reach.
