Pacquiao can fight Mosley at 147 but . . .

I dont like this idea because I am in the Mosley tank and I want him to have more of an advantage.

 

I dont think so

 

Isn't that old fights used to be, weigh in at fight nights.

 

Horrible suggestion my friend. Fighters make weight 24/30 hours before fight night for a reason, to have enough time to recover and regain the loss of weight. If they fought right after the weigh-in, dehydrated, drained and out of energy, tragedies would happen in every 2 or 3 week.

The lowest Shane can safely get in my opinion is about 144 pounds. You could put in a contract not to weigh more than 10% (IBF rule) fight night in boxing equipment, but 147 at fight night... that'd put Mosley into the hospital.

 

just make the fight at 145.

 

Pac should fight Mosley at 147. If he wins he is even more of a legend and if he loses he is still the best fighter in the world. No shame losing to a top5 p4p fighter who outweighs you by over 10pounds and who has fought his entire career above a weight you moved up to less than a year ago.

I think that Pac would win it anyways

 

I don't think they're allowed to do that? It has to be a day before the fight I think. Good idea in theory though.

 

I don't see why Pac wouldn't wanna fight for the Welterweight Championship of the World when the only difference is a few pounds. He is still lightning fast at 147. If it is below 147, it can be assumed that Roach and company are just trying to allow pac to fight a weight drained Mosley, and there is no honor in that.
