    Thought it would be a bit bland, repetitive and predictable if I made the thread, "Who Wins Mosley vs Pacquiao?" So instead I have opted for this thread instead. If you would like to give a reason on who are supporting, please feel free to do so.

    So, who are you supporting. The ageing all time great "Sugar" Shane Mosley, about to have his last throw of the dice in competing against the best in the sport. Or Emmanuel "Pacman" Pacquiao, the pound for pound best fighter in the world, hoping to stay busy and add the name of another great to his resume.

    Personally I'll be supporting Shane, not as a knock on Manny, but for the reason that I have pretty much been a fan of Shane since he became the first man in my opinion to beat Oscar de la Hoya. Its been a long road with Shane since then, with ups and down against some of the sports biggest names of the past ten years. I also can't bring myself to support Manny in a fight I just feel he hasn't given to a deserving fighter. I am disappoint, but not disappoint enough to give the guy nothing but ****. I am however disappoint enough to hope for a miraculous 2000esque 6 punch combination at the speed of light that sends Mannys head into the stand and his headless body to the floor.

    Just hope it's an entertaining fight . These guys are getting paid too much for me to feel sorry for either of them.

    So you aren't supporting either fighter, or hoping that one particular fighter wins?

    I always hope for entertaining fights myself, or competitive fights at the least but I pretty much always have one fighter I will be supporting (unless there are two fighters I happen to dislike i.e. Wladimir Klitschko Vs David Haye).

    Understandable, achieve what so far has not been achieved is always a good thing in my opinion.

    Solid reason. Why support a guy who isn't going to produce anything big if he wins while you can support one guy who can make a truly huge fight should he win? I just don't happen to be as buzzed as everybody else seems to be about the prospect of Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

    I like Shane and have followed his career as a fan since the 90s, but him winning would majorly upset the ****ing apple cart and leave us saying "What now?"

    :lol: Know you say it. I can't think of another situation like it in the history of boxing of the top of my head...maybe Braddock beating Baer, or Douglas beating Tyson (although in those two cases you had Louis and Holyfield to fill the void). I guess the answer would be Mosley-Pacquiao II?
