    Lots of people think the fight is a sham including myself. This will be like Pac - De La Hoya all over again only now we know the result beforehand which begs the question why is this fight being made in the 1st placed? Answer: It's an easy toss up from Top Rank to Pacquiao in order to keep him sharp and more importantly, to keep the $dollar$ bills rolling in. Unfortunately for Shane, he'll play the role of the sacrificial lamb in this one. Like I said, it's a pure sham of a fight.

    O.k, "hating", that one word says it all to me, you are a keyboard warrior. Why should anybody be "hating" on fighters if they are a fan of the sport of Boxing?


    I don't like the fight, I'd much rather have Pacquiao/Mayweather instead of this but the two divas cannot come to an agreement so that is that.

    However, I can understand why this fight has been made because in truth there are not many other legitimate options available barring Mayweather or Marquez.

    Marquez is operating at a lower weight just now and Mayweather is inactive so like I said, I can understand why Mosley became the opponent.

    I've said since this fight was made that Berto was too green and Mosley "earns" the Pacquiao fight over Berto. As it goes I was proven correct when Vicious Victor took care of that hype-job ....

    So, ...... in conclusion, ....... I don't think anyone really likes this match-up, .... some can blame Pacquiao, some can blame Bob Arum, hell some can blame Mayweather .......... it doesn't matter!

    The bottom line is that there simply weren't many options and that Mosley is probably the biggest money fight and the biggest name fight for Pacquiao's CV available at the time.

    Hopefully the two divas sort out a fight after this ......

    Something tells me you are a bit of a ***** with your closing jibe defending why Jr fought Shane along with your use of the word "hate" ..... :deal

    If Mosely fought Berto or Ortiz or even Bradley people would be calling it a intriguing match up and not a sham, and these are some of the best fighters around the Pac Man's weight division, but if Mosely fights Pacquiao it all of a sudden becomes a sham of a match.

    People are only calling it a sham because Pacquiao is just so good that he is in another league. It's not Pacquaio's fault that he is so good is it????

    Ok it would have been better if it was against someone that is up and coming and hasn't really been tested; but these up and comers are probably just as good as Mosely to be honest.

    And it definitely is better than nothing, if you don't watch Pacquiao like millions will do (he's probably the 3rd most known boxer here in the UK) around the world you are not a boxing fan:deal.

    This fight is a fraud, shame on Pac to accept it, then again he fought Margarito at a catch weight, wait he did the same against Cotto, and fought Diaz for the 135 Belt, nothing new really, after this fight he might fight Berto at 140 lbs, after all that is his pattern.

    A lot of people are and they shouldn't be. Mosley is Pacquiao's first ligit opponent since at best Cotto and possably Marquez.
