    ...............
    MANNY PACQUIAO: Bob has helped me a lot especially promoting the last four or five fights. Because of him my career has been very good. He helped me a lot and has been very important. Bob officially negotiates my fights and chooses opponents and finds good opponents. I trust him and he’s a fine promoter.

    simple: Mosley is still dangerous and he's not an Arum fighter.

    That's what I thought.:good I don't think Bobby ever wanted Manny to fight Floyd. He's got quite a grudge against Floyd dating back to the old days when he was Floyd's promoter.

    Never said Judah would win, I'd just like to see this fight because they're both so fast. I wanna see who has the faster hands. Also don't mention the ams when a fighter's already more than 5 years removed from it.

    The Pac haters are so ARROGANT!

    Let's break it down:

    Issue: Mosley willing to fight Pac at 140

    What haters say if he takes the fight: Mosley was more dehydrated than Oscar, pac knew it, Mosley is old, Pac took advantage of a old HOF needing $! Pac wouldn't fight Mosley at 147!

    What haters say if he doesn't: He wouldn't even fight Mosley at 140! Biggest ducker in history! There afraid of fighting Mosley (Mosley's corpse)!

    People make me sick...I'm glad the fight didn't happen. First, Pac had a fight with Cotto which was much bigger IMO. Second, if Mosley wants Pac he better beat Mayweather first. Third, Pac is forced to clean out the WW division a little more in the mean time.

    because mosley is an easy opponent even if it happens at 147

    pac dont take easy fights so he chose cotto over mosley

    pac is not like mayweather who take easy fights..letting jmm come in two weight divisions and then bragging about winning against the p4p no. 2..mayweather is lucky to have floydettes being fooled by him

    By the time Mosley conceded the weight, Pac was all but set to fight Cotto. Also, Arum's preference to keep his fighters "in house" played a significant role, obviously.

    I do believe however that had Mosley agreed to the 142 catchweight proposal by Roach right from the get-go, he may have very well landed the fight ahead of Cotto.

    Shane has a lot of qualities that Marquez has and a lot more that he does not.

    BFD. Mosley desperate for a big money fight. Did he actually move back down to fight anybody and show he wouldn't be a walking corpse at the weight before calling out Pac? No. I don't know who would've won at 140 but I know if Pac had won, guess what they'd probably say? Another weight-drained legend Pac picked on to build a legacy. Thhhhat's what they'd say.
