    Sort of the way the JMM-PBF fight is lose lose for Floyd.

    Anyway, I don't like this fight because it seems Mosley is just desperate and will agree to any terms, regardless of how it will affect his performance. Whereas with Cotto, I trust him and his team more that they will only fight at at weight that they are comfortable with.

    Cutting weight will diminish any Pac win. Mosley is WBA welter champ, so if he wants him that bad he should go to welter.

    The thing is, it's Mosley who wants Pac that bad, not the other way around.

    Why most ESB posters are against of catchweight?? Catchweight is necessary in this situation to even the playing field...

    At 143 lb PAC is also challenging for the WBA belt, the 147 lb is the upper limit not the mandatory weight.

    Even it how?

    Someone isn't going to just magically not gain the normal weight by weighing in at a catchweight.

    Mosley is a Welterweight , Pacquiao is a Jr Welterweight fair assesment ??? , yes .

    So Pacquiao should do what all Jr Welterweight's do when they want to fight a Welterweight , move up a division and fight him ala Mayweather Hatton , Mayweather Marquez & De La Hoya Mayweather (in reference to Floyds jump to 154) .

    Manny stop making up catch weights either fight @ 140 or fight @ 147 !!!!!!!

    i don't know. they thought that catchweights are bs. i'm not fully in favor of catchweight, but if it's the only way for a fight to be fair, why not.

    PAC can choose 140 where he might have a bigger advantage... To at least even up the playing field, PAC can only demand 143 instead of 140 where Mosley is also very willing to accept...:D

    Very very true the key word here being desperate !!!!! , Mosley should fight Berto and look to pick up the peices of the Pac , Cotto & Floyd debicle , but should the winner of that triangle either be Pac or Floyd Mosley can forget it because neither of them will fight him , in summary Cotto should step aside for Floyd Pac , and take the winner of Mosley Berto !!!!!

    Those who voted for 140 are an absolute joke, you are clearly only interested in Pac not losing as opposed to seeing a fair & great fight.

    PAC will be heavily favored at 140 while Mosley will be favored at 147... IMO this is one situation where catchweight of 143 is necessary to have an even fight...

    No it isnt , this another way Pacquiao and Freddy Roach get what they want , there are already too many weight divisions in boxing what would Pacquiao have done when 15lbs seperated weight divisions and not 7 , they agreed to 147 with DLH , so they can fight @147 again for Mosley !!!!!!!

    PAC is favored at 140 and Mosley is favored at 147, do you agree with that? If not, what's your view if the fight is held at 140 and if held at 147?...
