    Before the Mayweather fight Pac was supposedly scared of Mosely and turned down a fight with him to fight Clottey, now that Pac is fighting him and at 154 (correct me if I am wrong about the weight but even at 147 at least he is not making him come down to 140lbs) he is cherry picking wtf??

    Boxing fans can be such little bitches sometimes?

    Maywether makes everybody look old, look what he did to Marquez is he washed up, well he was considered to be old and washed up for quite a few months but he is back now and he is fresh again wtf??

    And Mora is an ugly fighter holding and running all the time he made Shane look horrible but Shane was robbed that night. And Pac style is completely different don't sleep on the old Mongoose fellas.

    I cant wait personally.

    Historically Boxing is a young man's sport.

    People said Mosley was washed up after his fight with Mayorga....and then he murdered Margarito and he was all of a sudden the top WW again. It is the way it goes. He isn't what he once was obviously, but I expect him to give Pac trouble. He is the strongest and fastest fighter Pac has ever faced. I think this is a much harder fight for Pac than the Margo fight was.

    it's at 147.

    He has lost his stamina and nothing is going to bring that back outside of the rebirth of Balco.

    come on man

    Bernard Hopkins, known as the Executioner (born January 15, 1965, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)....looked like **** against an old Jones was washed up as well and honestly he was was just robbed of a win over a 28 yo stud with speed and power.

    so his Date of Birth is simply not good enough guys I do agree that it is a young mans sport but what i am trying to say is that we as fans react to harshly to individual performances anybody can have a bad night against a difficult style ask Manny Paquiao about JMM

    Mosley is no Hopkins. Their styles are completly different, Hopkins never relied on his speed or reflexes as much as Mosley and with age those two attributes are quick to decline.

    He's may not be washed up. But he sure as hell has no chance against an opponent with speed and movement like Pac. He can last with people like Margo because the target is more stationary. This will be the third fight in a row Mosley looks horrible. It's been proven twice in a row now that he can't handle movement anymore, why go for the third with someone people think is an even harder opponent?

    I'm with you bro, But Mosley don't have a style which get's "Better" with age.

    He has the tools to become a banger, But something inside his brain makes him think he is a boxer/counter puncher still when he is in the ring.
    (Check the Cotto/Mayweather fight)
    Shane should have & always come out like he did in the Margarito fight from this point out, But we all know we WON'T!.

    Bernard & JMM have a different gear they can shift into which explains their longevity & ability to still remain amongst the elite.

    If Shane comes out throwing bombs from round 1, That would be his best chance. IF he comes out trying to match speed/counter like he did against Mayweather expect another UD loss for him.

    Maybe because he was gassed after 2 rounds vs Floyd and looked slow & **** vs Mora?

    Stamina has slipped a little I think it's a mental thing with him but he seems to always put it together for his huge fights typically ODL I, Margarito, as an underdog won those fights, Cotto as an underdog arguaby won that one too

    He hasnt won a fight in years, and he did not look good vs. Mora, a guy he would have destroyed only a few years ago.

    Mosley still has his power and experience, and I expect him to use it against Pac, However, anyone trying to build this fight as more than just a money grab for Team Pac is just delusional.

    You are a complete idiot.

    The FACT is Mosley is coming off of TWO crap fights. One to the best WW in the world, OK we gave a pass. The second against a blah fighter. How in the hell did he score this fight?

    There are a TON of exciting fights to make at 154, 147, and 140 against WINNERS. Instead Pac chooses to fight LOSERS in weights that they haven't even proven themselves in recently.

    Nobody is sleeping on Shane. We are just sick of this BS cherry picking by Pac. :deal
