    The official scoring was no where near a close loss, and keep in mind Margarito beat Clottey four years earlier when Clottey was at his best.

    I'm aware Margarito did that. Not sure what that is supposed to mean though.

    Shane looked bad because of:
    A) Mora
    b) Shane

    And the Shane of the last two fights I've seen...he's gun shy and doesn't throw much, no effective aggression...loses to Pac.

    True a year later but is that mayweathers fault? he was in negotiations with Pac, well shane try to de reail that by jumping in the ring but we all know negotations for pac and may would start after jmm so it did reguardless of what shane say or brian kenney. why the **** they make it look like floyd was picking on pac for being little and he was running from the true welterweight?

    bull **** yo

    anyway valid reason why floyd had to wait a year he tried to sighn pac

    he was fighting 2 boxers has he ever beat a pure boxer?

    Pac will go to war with him and im going to assume the stronger puncher will emerge or the faster fighter

    well it sounds like his whole career cuz shane hasnt boxed anybody since he was 24 years old and even then he had tendencies to stand flat footed and show off his power

    So when he was "too good" (prior to being dismantled by PBF) that's Freddie Roach's perspective no reason to argue with me about it, Pac didn't want the fight with him, now that PBF made him look like an amature and he followed it up witha lackluster fight with Mora, now they'll fight him? You don't see a problem with that?

    That depends on who you consider a pure boxer. How many of those are there really in boxing today?

    Is Mora really a pure boxer? Or just unorthodox? Was DLH considered a pure boxer? Is Collazo?

    Just the fact that they are already talking about Pac's next fight makes the Pac-Margo fight look highly suspicious. I mentioned Pac would fight Shane not too long ago and someone laughed at me; said Arum would never allow it. Now of course Team Pac could change their mind and end up fighting someone else. But considering where Mosley is at currently, he just fits the mold so perfectly for Team Pac. I'll admit though, after Pac destroys Mosley, his resume will appear Godly to the casual fan.

    This smoke and mirrors bull**** was acceptable up until one or two years ago. It's gotta stop. Pac is too good to not test his skills against young, hungry, and athletic fighters. JMM is an exception to that rule only because I feel he deserves a rubber match even though it's unlikely he'll win at this point. I'll credit Arum for at least mentioning the winner of Bradley-Alexander can possibly get a shot. Not holding my breath though.

    It's funny how Mosley is shot now, but wasn't shot before the Mayweather fight. I still think this fight will be entertaining to watch. Pac will have his hands filled because he's fighting a fighter who hit harder then himself and is not afraid to exchange with him. Pac might be faster but not fast enough to not get hit with something flush.
