    Mosley and Mayweather is a decade overdue. Part of the anxiety is waiting for Floyd to sign and finalize the fight. All the drama Floyd and Shane caused by repeated calling out adds to build up. Pac is favored to beat Clottey who is a no name to casual boxing fans although he's come very close to beating Cotto and Margarito and has a win over Judah. Arum would have to hope Mexican fans come out to see the undercards.

    To Mexican boxing fans out there: after Margarito's suspension, how many Mexicans still support or would forgive Tony enough to watch him box again? 75%? 50%? 25%? Just curious because I don't recall seeing a poll on how receptive Mexican fans would be to Tony's return from suspension.

    When Nazim Richardson demanded Margarito unwrap, while his trainer Capetillo objected, Margarito stuck his hand out and said, 'unwrap me."

    ........In that instance it looks like Margarito was'nt hiding anything......which is quite a 180 degree turn to what Manny Pacquiao did when random blood and urine tests were proposed to him.

    You dig?????:deal:deal:deal:deal:lol::lol::lol:

    Don't think only training for 8 weeks is much of a disadvantage.

    Look at it from the standpoint Pac is less than a little more than 2 months removed from his bout with Cotto. He's fighting 2 bouts in the span of 4 months.

    :lol: I have never seen a fighter of Clotteys pedigree get slighted like this. You would think that Pac was a natural MW who went down to smash a smaller African man. If the odds get ******ed, you have to put down money, its a no brainer.

    148lbs maybe. This is already his 7th division. I dont think his body can pack in more lbs and keep the athleticism.

    Pacquiao comes into the ring around 150... and its not fake...

    When Clottey fought Diego Corrales, his unofficial weight was 170lbs

    He weighed 170 verse Corrales at 149. Supposedly.

    Against Cotto I think he was 160.

    Pac will sell lots of tickets. Why did Void run away from Pac? That was the fight I wanted to see. Pac put pressure on Void to have to fight someone other than M. Hatton, who is the person Void wanted to fight. Will Void sign the contract? What's taking so long? Does he want Mosely to guarantee that he will throw the fight?

    :lol: True.

    Think so? Why? Action? Nobody wants to watch Pac hit the heavy bag, but Shane actually has the style and skill set to give Floyd fits making it much more intriguing and more fun to watch. We know what is coming with Pac vs. Clottey but we do not know what will happen in the Mayweather fight.

    Pac's lucky this isn't happening the same night as was originally planned. Regardless, I am pulling for Clottey to knock Pac off his high horse.
