Then why is he chasing a smaller fighter if not for the money?. even going as low as 143 lbs. :? Mosley will get raped at 143.
Pacquiao is P4P #1. Mosley never backs down from the best. Stop saying "smaller". It's no excuse now. Mosley always has fought the best. He loves to fight. Of course he wants paid, like anyone else, but it's not just about money.
de la hoya was the one screaming for that fight and it backfired on him. DLH wanted to add another name to his resume and felt itd be an easy fight.
I think Mosley is more dangerous for Pac than Floyd is for Pac. I hope Pac / Mayweather happens first and the winner can fight Shane. Meanwhile Mosley can defeat Berto, which he will win, and then take whoever is out there for him at that point in the welters in mid 2010 and set up what I feel will be Mosley vs Pac in the fourth quarter of 2010.
no way mosley is scared of pac. it'll be an interesting fight. speed is almost equal, i must say that mosley is still the stronger fighter, but pac is quicker in his feet.
mosley along with marquez and mayweather is the only fighter who is capable of standing toe-toe with manny. he can match him for speed, power and chin.
This is an ideal situation for Mosley, actually. Pac emerging as a viable option either before or after a Mayweather fight has a far better risk/reward quotient than the prospect of having to face Williams. Before anybody misinterprets that, I'm not saying Williams is better at Pac, at all - but styles make fights and Mosley struggles with physically bigger men (esp when they're high volume punchers). Pac is far more winnable (not that Mosley would definitely win...) and obviously waaaaaaaaaaaaay more lucrative.
They both fought Cotto. Shane couldn't do what Pac did to Cotto. Mosley's speed is way way over rated. He no longer has it. Yea he looked fast against Margarito cause Margarito lets you hit him all night. Cotto landed bombs all nigth on Margo too. If a slow Cotto can land combos on Mosley, Pac beats Mosley easy. This is not Mosley of 8 years ago. He's slower then Pac. They will study the Cotto fight and Forest fight . Roach will find the hole in his defense and pac will follow it to an easy win.
winner of Pac vs Money faces Mosley... that is in an ideal world where Mosley is 2 or 3 years younger.
