    Its sad to see pac fighting Floyds left overs again:dead
    OH well if beating up a used up hasbeen is what people want to see then good luck to them.
    If he cant get the fight with ***** he may as well retire because beating up on fighters well past there best isn't a good look.

    For 5+ million, it might be worth it.

    i don't think it's a given that Manny will shut Mosley out.
    in fact Shane could give him some problems, but the bottom line is this fight shouldn't be happening, regardless of the wishful thinking.
    Berto may not have presented much more of a challenge but it sure as hell would've been a better W on the resume (against an undefeated champion, especially at the tail end of Pac's career) than Sugar will be (a great warrior now undisputably way past his best).
    whether Pac is doing us a favour or not, this is just another reason we invent to rationalize a poor match up.

    I'd fight Pacquiao for $5 million. But I'd do the smart thing and take a dive after the first jab.

    I honestly think that Mosley ktfo both JMM and Berto at 147.

    Mora is a big tall slick fighter, and Floyd is the slickest of them all. It was ridiculous matchmaking on GBP's part to put Mosley up against Mora really. Dont forget Mora also beat Forest, didnt mean Forest was shot, although he was completely past it he did come back and whoop his ass.

    I still want Pac-Berto for the politics of it all, beating a young undefeated champ...but I can honestly say that I think a shot Mosley still beats those 2.

    He has not even come close to proving that
