Rofl, blame it on granddaddy arum and papa roach to take the blame, and bail emmanuel's AZZ from any responsibility.
Don't think so. Pacquiao's demand was very fair, they basically told Mayweather to do something and score at least one big win so that their fight looks good when signed. Do you think it's fair for Pacquiao to clean house(Cotto WBO champions, Mosley WBA/lineal Champion) then Mayweather shows up and gets it all in one fight IF he wins?. It doesn't work that way, Mayweather had to do something and he did. Pacquiao didn't need to fight Mosley, Mayweather did.
Easily?, no ****ing way. Mosley would have given him a really tough fight and would have seriously hurt him. Imagine if that punch in round 2 landed on Pacquiao?, if he was able to catch Mayweather then you bet your ass he will catch Pacquiao and it won't look good. Yes, I agree, Pacquiao wins but there's no way in hell he does easily.
I guess it could be viewed that way, but I for one am glad they chose not to fight a 140 lb Mosley, Pac would have gotten absolutely zero credit for that since Mosley would have practically killed himself making the weight. At the time, no one, not even roach knew how Pac would perform against a real welterweight so Mosley @147 with little ring rust since his fight against Margo would have been a huge risk for a virtually untested fighter at 147. It's easy to criticize Pac for that now, since we have the benefit of knowing how Pac performed against Clottey and Cotto. At the time that Pac-Mosley was all the rage in the forums, only the real hard core Pac haters accused Pac of ducking Mosley because very few actually thought that Pac could beat Mosley. Most thought that Pac would be biting off more than he could chew if he chose to fight him at 147. And in the end, Pac ended up facing the guy who last beat Mosley, which is a very good consolation prize however you choose to look at it.
Size and strengh a great chin a guy who could go toe to toe with him and not back down. Fast hands and good power better reach. Team pac knew they couldn't steamroll Mosley like they could Cotto, he busts up easily, who retreats when faced with pressure so they preferred Cotto who has a shaky chin and is known to fade in fights.
Are you out of your ****ing mind? So now Pac has better defense than PBF does?:rofl You *******s are ****ing delusional. Molsey would have found Pac and found him often. Hell everyone who fights Pac finds him he's there to be hit.:deal Too bad your boy Pac wasn't as confident about his chances against Mosley as you are since he did everything in his power to avoid him.
You couldn't have said it better. If Paq fought Shane at 140 everyone would claim Shane was weight drained. (and he would probaly would have been) This would be a lose lose for Paq. at 140lbs.
There is no doubt who your fav. fighter is . Don't let that impair your vision. The Shane that fought Mayweather would have been beaten to a pulp. I am a huge Mosley fan, and I saw Shane getting tired in the fourth round. I take nothing away from Mayweather he fought a great fight. If that Shane walked into the ring with Paq. I really believe he would have been stopped. Do you really think Shane at 140 would have been a better fight than Cotto at 145?
wow your biased. If you say no to the Champ its a duck. When floyd refused to fight shane you said its a duck. Luke dont make knock Your neck loose with a Ricardo Mayorga overhand Right
Pac wouldn't have fought Mosley if it was at 135 so your point is moot.:deal He saw what Mosley did to Margo and said **** that ****. He saw what Margo did to Cotto and saw him go life and death with Clottey and said damn he's damaged goods but that still wasn't enough, he still had to stack the deck in his favor by making Cotto come down to 145 while putting his title on the line to boot. Pac in a million years would have never agreed to fight Mosley at 145 or 147 and you know it.
lol they should have fought shane at 145 better yet 147 The same shane that came to fight Floyd came for a Brawl Pac would die in the ring. Naz say shane can knock a farm animal out at 147 maybe he could but he went up against a Silver Back in the ring
Roach is on video trying to justify why Pac didn't fight Mosley. They choose to fight De la Hoyle because Mosley was a better fighter and more of a risk for Pac. So I would say that's definitely a duck.
This is a horrible absolute to you use. You can turn this on its head... Floyd fought the CHAMP that brutally battered Margarito and Pac fought the EX CHAMP that was brutally battered by Margarito.
We all know Paq. takes the easy fights. Unlike Mayweather. My question to you is how do you feel about Paq and Shane now at 147? Did Mayweather inflick so much damage to Shane that he is no longer a threat? I for one saw an old Shane Mosley that can't compete with a fighter faster than him. Margo was a good win for Shane ,but we can play that fighter a beat fighter b and fighter b beat fighter c so fighter a will beat c. It dosen't work like that. Cotto beat Shane, then lost to Margo. Shane lost to Cotto and then Beat Margo. I don't believe for one minute Paq. was scared to take a fight with Shane.
