Enough with Marquez who refused a rematch after pacquiao begged they did it right away after their first draw. 2. Nevermind the "Boxing Fan", just make Pacquiao known to the "Casual American Sports Fan" as Bob Arum puts. This means this will be Pacquiao's highest exposure yet in mainstream America. He defeats Mosley, he lands in the front page of Sports Illustrated. 3. Mosley is key for Pacquiao to reach Tyson-level popularity in the United States and around the world. Boxing Fans should support this as boxing as a sport will be back in mainstream media and Dana White will stop being a Pac fan. 4. If he does not face Mosley, the Joyboys will continue to say Pacquiao ducked him and Mayweather did not. This I am pretty certain even if Pacquiao kills Marquez. So a third Marquez fight is just like pulling him down when you can have a big boxing event covered by US mainstream media. Concrete example: They wanted him to face Marquez for a third time, he opted to go up in weight vs Diaz and then Oscar De la Hoya and then all became history. Haters even wanted him to face Joan Guzman and Humberto Sotto to pull him down and have NO GROWTH, but he opted to face Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto for greater glory. So let him fight the biggest possible fight that can be made. :bbb 5. He's black and if Pacquiao beats him, he completes the circle... he beat the man who beat the man who beat the man. :good So with all those big names in his resume...... He Retires the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. :happy:happy:happy
if you think beating mosley is the key for pac to retire the GOAT, i have some oceanfront property to sell you in arizona...reaaalllly cheap
Look Arcane, in your heart of hearts are you still blaming pacquiao for the mayweather fight not happening? seriously? :roll:
Easy for Pac, easy money, too. If he wins and I am sure he will, he will be instantly popular in the US. Arum is a genius! Bring it on! Pac is entitled to an easy opponent once in a while.
What? If he beats Mosley and then retires he's the best of all time? If he beats the 38 year old who just had a draw with Sergio Mora? Really?
I actually blame the likes of Bob Arum for it not happening, but I guess that doesn't matter to someone who thinks Pac beating Mosley wud make him the GOAT :rofl:rofl
good stuff , pretty good reasoning , in your mind with victory a forgone conclusion how do you see the actual fight going down , shane hits very hard , his last outing have not been stellar , his reflexes are starting to go but at some point he will land , i think hes got a shot , however i see pacman taking this fight
Who has ever fought Joshua Clottey for an "easy" fight? He's always benn a high risk, low reward fight. And since when is SSM an "easy" fight? Maybe I'm the only one around here who remembers him almost sparking Floyd a mere 6 months ago? He's still extremely dangerous, just not for a full 12. Why is JMM considered such a valid opponent? You don't think SSM could knock out Michael Katsidis? Shane would spark JMM, he's the tougher more dangerous fight.
