    But it doesn't matter how he was *seen* it matters how he was.

    Mosley was shot against Mayweather.
    Mosley was just as shot against Mora
    Mosley will be just as shot against Pacquiao.

    No credit should go to anyone who isn't a journeyman or prospect who fights and beats Mosley. I wouldn't have given Margarito credit if he had beaten Mosley in their fight, either, because in my view, he hasn't been an A+ fighter since around 2005.

    Am I the only fan of Pac who actually likes him to KTFO Shane?

    Or understands that JMM at WW (which where the fight would be at all costs) is a cakewalk?
    Even at 140, I believe it's going to be bloody murder.

    Or that pairing up Pac against Berto NOW is rather too early for Berto and I'd rather have the guy have some more wins before pairing him up against Pac?

    He could fight a bum and I wouldn't give a ****. If that bum is good business for him than why not. As long as I know that he wants Mayweather but Mayweather is to chicken **** for him than i'm all cool. Now if Mayweather and Pac can make a fight but but chose someone else than that's a different story. I would not agree with that.

    Berto or JMM are so much better options. I would honestly prefer a second Cotto fight to this.

    I want Mosley to PROVE he has something left. He shouldn't go into a Pac fight on the back of a draw and a loss. That's crazy. I want him to prove he deserves the fight by beating Berto. Likewise, I want Berto to prove he's ready for elite challengers by decisively beating Mosley. Neither of them are worthy until they fight each other.

    Marquez isn't a great option, especially not at 147, but he's proven his mettle in combat against Pac twice, so at least he's more deserving than the other two. I'd prefer it at 140, though.

    Pac should fight Marquez at 140, then take on the Mosley/Berto winner at 147.

    Ofcourse we all know those are the better fight but is Arum going to give him the better money for those fight?...hell naw. As long as I know that Pac tried to make the fight with Floyd than I'm all good. If that fight doesn't happn than he's free to make as much money as he want.

    Firstly, I hope Shane knocks Pac the **** out.

    Secondly, those drinking the Arum kool aid saying that Mosley is the biggest money fight need to get their heads out of their asses. Casual fans hear Mosley and think "you mean the guy Floyd just beat up?". The biggest PPV's in history involve good matchups that the publc believe will be good, close fights. Mosley KO's Margo and boxing fans/general public thought Mayweather was scared shitless of him. Scenarios like this = big bucks. The name is less important than the chance of the opponent. Pac/Marquez III would do a couple hundred thousand more buys than Mosley IMO because more people out there think it's a real fight.

    Thirdly, this officially ends all bull**** talk of Pacquiao taking on the toughest fights possible and being this fearless, warrior. His opponent cherrypicking makes Haymon and Ellerbe blush.

    Real talk

    At this stage in Pac career, there's only one fight left for him and that's Mayeather. If that fight doenst happen...make the most money he can and get the hell out ASAP.

    Well Berto at least got some buzz off this. Now what he has to do is set up a fight with either Aydin or Clottey and have a big win. He can then position himself for a big money fight with Pac or Mayweather next.

    I can see Paul Williams looking to come back down to WW next yr as well looking to fight smaller fighters after getting KTFO.

    Agree, though I don't think either Berto or JMM are necessarily bigger threats than Mosley. I think the division itself has shallowed out after spending a good few years red hot. At this point, the biggest challenges to Pacquiao are Mayweather (who is presently...indisposed at the moment) and the unified winner of 140 (who doesn't exist yet).

    I can think of a couple of opponents who are as big of a threat to Pac as Mosley, but I can't think of another opponent at 147 who is a bigger threat than Mosley (which speaks to the sudden shallowness of 147). Maybe Martinez at 154, but Pac isn't going to fight at 154 again.

    I would love for a Pac-Bradley fight. Bradley is young, hungry and tough. I think it would be a very exciting fight based on there styles. I'm hoping he gets serious consideration if he gets past Alexander. He already called out Pac on national television after his fight with Abregu.

    LOL

    This was a done deal the moment Shane left GBP.

    This is to lucrative for bob Arum to milk his puppet for all he's worth and disgrace the pilipino people.... They are not stupid and they know what is going on.
