    Simple at 147 pounds. Mayweather could have told Oscar "come down to 147 pounds" but nope Mayweather went up at 154 pounds in Oscar weight class and fought Oscar rules with choosing of the gloves and the ring size. While Oscar have to kill himself badly to make 147 to fight Pacquiao who did move 2 weight glass but Oscar even let Pacquiao were the famous reyes gloves.

    Yeah it would be good if he did that. At 140 he is on fire at the moment. I'm not sure if there's an Mega fights in 140 though. And of course people would say he was 'ducking' Mosely, Mayweather etc.

    Pac can't win at the moment, if he fights the big guys he gets critised for fighting 'zombies'.

    A 147 Pac fighting a 160 Mosely is just too big. Mosely would be just too powerful with all the weight behind his punches. I think Pac can beat Mosely but not in those conditions.

    If it was same day weight how much could Mosely come in at? Much less than 160?

    What you're really saying is the only way Pacquiao beats Mosley is if Mosley is dead at the weight like ODLH was!:lol::lol::lol:

    Really? why is that? Oscar at 147 wasn't to much, and Oscar is bigger than Shane. Oscar has fought as high as 160 and Shane has never fought above 154.

    Yeah, if it's at 147 60/40 will work. Shane should get 5% every pound he drops below 147. He is the WW champion. They don't get 20% in any scenario. If Cotto loses, Pacquiao may get himself out of fighting Mosley by not agreeing on weight and a Mayweather fight by not agreeing on money.
    I'd rather see Floyd/Shane anyway because either will knockout the midget!

    remember that pac was fighting at 135 that time, so asking him to move up 3 divisions is too much.

    Pacquiao weighed practically the same in each of his last 3 fights even though they were in different divisions. They were all between 147 and 148.5.

    Mosely will have to be helped into the ring at 144. Anything less and they'll have to push him in a wheelchair.

    Thing is, Shane will probably do it. A fight with Pac is more money than even a fight with PBF by a long shot, and much more than with Cotto.

    Oscar had been looking pretty bad for a few fights before Pac, and was horrible beyond words after making weight at 147. Different proposition than fighting Shane altogether.

    3 weight class? I think you mean 2 but a fighter moving up 2 weight class is not as dangerous then a fighter to kill himself to get down to 142 pounds in which that fighter ( mosley) hasn't fought way under 147 pounds in 10 years. Look there were fighters that were elite like Pacquiao that move up 2 weight class like a prime Mosley and a prime Duran and both won their big fights. Can you name 3 great fighters that have to go down in weight class in which they haven't fought way under the weight limit for 6 years or over?

    Mosley has a lot of fighters to choose from. There's the winner of cotto-clotey this coming weekend, there's collazo, bean pole paul williams, even JCC junior, andre berto and there's mayweather.

    So why in the hell is he making up stories that he would be fighting pac on oct 17? Pac who is just sitting pretty and being amused with all the fuss happening is just biding his time. He's on a vacation mode and can't be bothered by people who are lining up to have a photo op with him or by people who are in the internet dissing him for being a great boxer LOL.
