    Everyone is talking about who Manny will fight next... Arum just came out and said it will be an African-America which we all know should be no one other than Floyd Mayweather... It's not looking good though just read Shane Mosley's latest tweet and it reads:


    Damn I'm gonna be so disappointed if it is... The fans don't WANT this... Thoughts?

    I will be very dissapointed and give pac 0 credit for a mosley win. Even berto would be better in my opinion.

    I really hope team Pac is above accepting a Mosley fight. His own team know its a pathetic fight, its like people are forgetting Mosley hasnt won a fight in almost two years, and got a DRAW against Mora of all people in his last fight, and looked like complete crap and got shut out against Mayweather. And this is going to be the next 'worthy' challenger to the p4p king? Goes right up there with Clottey and Margarito I guess. People let Clottey slide because Pac had just got done tearing through some top level fighters, then people let the Margarito fight slide because of the size difference, its now time for Pac to get back to fighting some top fighters who are younger and actually coming off some good wins. A mosley fight would be worthless at this point until Mosley gets a decent win back under him and shows he belongs in the biggest fight in boxing just about.

    Pac vs Bradley/Alexander winner, Arum should make it happen.

    Pac vs a young, african american champion who is undefeated and coming off a good win (especially if its bradley, as Alexander has some unfinished buisness with you know who)

    That is the type of opponent that Pac should fight this time out.....

    Make it happen Arum.

    Although fans dont want this, they will buy it and Arum knows it. Thats why Mosley is getting consideration.

    With Arum, as it was with King, its all about control. Now that Mosley is a promotional free agent he can enter the Pac sweepstakes and Arum can manipulate him however he wants because Shane will have no better options than what Arum offers. It most likely will be his next fight and Im sure Arum told him get away from Golden Boy and we can do buisness. When is the last time Arum worked with a rival promoter with Pac?

    Bradley/Alexander is at Jr welter though and I wonder if Pac wants to go back to even go back to that weight considering Mayweather is not leaving welter. I think Bradley/Alexander should test the welterweight waters a bit more first before jumping in against the p4p king.

    Moving up and down is going to take a toll on Pac's body, so you'd think at his age he'd want to settle at a comfortable weight, close to the fight you know he really wants.

    Don't worry it won't happen. Arum is just throwing Mosley's name since he's now Top Rank.

    He is not moving from where he is at. All the money fights are at 147 and above.

    It would be better than seeing Pacman fight JMM. Pacman beating Mosley would be beating a great. That would help his legacy.

    If it's Mosley then it will proved easily that Pacquiao only fights fighters that are either damage goods, not the same, old. I told you *******s.
