**The Official I WILL watch Pacquiao/Mosley Thread**

And you could be right.

 

Somehow I don't think this fight will shut up the critics who have been calling for Manny to fight a slick, black American boxer.

 

I'm sure everyone here will watch it, regardless of whether it's the fight people want to see. I'll never miss a Pacquiao fight.

 

Ill probably watch it, but i dont agree with it. Bob Arum is a smart man, he is actually tricking the public in making people believe that Manny can do everything better than Floyd, At a point Manny does not even need to fight Floyd, because he is dimantling some of semi-threating fighters that Floyd fought , now im not saying that when Floyd fought them, they were legends, but they were just a tad bit fresher. Lets be truthfully about this i would say shane has between a 10-15% percent chance of beating Manny, and this is only because shane can still punch, other than that their is no reason why Manny should not dismantle, and (POSSIBLY BE THE FIRST TO KNOCK SHANE OUT). Thats why this fight is being made, and that will be another accomplishment in the Manny Paquaio story. People will buy into the story, because manny is a great fighter, he is all action, and people love the guy, he is very easy to market, especially against Floyd. Floyd is making it easy for Manny to reach the pinnacle of the sport, and he is doing this by not fighting Manny, and Arum and Roach are all over it!

 

Exactly. Never been a more cowardly ***git ***** than Pacquiao. ****s been cherry picking solidly since Marquez beat him the second time. Little pipsqueak ****

Pacquiao wont ever take a fight he stands a chance of losing

As for that "nothings certain in boxing" comment - what horse****. Pacquiao doesnt take a fight unless the outcome is certain

 

Depends largely on the under cards

 

watch it is good pay for it is sad because you encourage them to make such horrible match ups and sell them as mega fights

 

As a Mosley fan I dont begrudge him one last big payday. Its no fault of his own that he couldnt get this fight earlier. For those reasons I have less interest in a Pac Berto fight to be honest.
PBF is the only other fight out there, other than the eventual 140lb bossman. They could both take a while to sort out, so let mosley go for it.

 

not particularly disagreeing with you here, but I reckon the 140lb division should be left alone until we have a certified 140lb champ. I'd hate to see bradley/alexander/khan or maidana be prematurely destroyed by Pac and never recover from it. We'd be branding them as we do boxers like Pavlik (they say Hopkins ruined him, we'd be saying Pac ruined them should it transpire the same way).

I'm not saying Pac would definately beat any of the top 140lb dogs, in fact fighting them right now would perhaps be the best thing next to him fighting May/Martinez. I'm just of the opinion that it'd be nice to milk the 140lb division for all it's got 1st (because it has an awful lot).
