    Not at all

    and for this very reason i'm surprised Team Pacquiao are not going out of their way to make it happen

    You said Pac wants to fight the top WW's so im asking you when did He calls out those WW's?

    Pac ran to Cotto? Since when did you start reading boxing news? Cotto's bout is planned ahead of Mosley. Mosley has been in the picture only because Mosley is begging for the fight because He is broke. And I hope you uderstand that both Pac and Cotto are both Top rank so it makes sense for Arum to make the fight, keeping the money in-house.

    You said you will not give Pac credit if he fights Mosley at 142-144 now you were saying Pac pretended that he dont hear Mosley! Hallooow!
    (Ano ba talaga kuya??) Translation : Which side of hate are you?

    Oh, for the millions. Pac doesnt care **** about you are saying. Thats the only thing. Pac is becoming a P4P *****, He can leave with that:good

    You are an ignorant ***** not to know that it was Mosley who offered Pac for a fight lower than 147 . . . in fact Mosley said it can even be at 140. It's in print. :deal

    And you're calling Pacquiao a ***** if he decides to accept that? :think :-(

    Stop hating and use your better judgement . . . otherwise if you don't know the whole story just SFTU . . . you are just making yourself look and sound really stupid.

    From what I've read so far in here, most people think it would be more or less a suicide mission for Mosley to fight Pacquiao at 142-143 pounds. For those who say "Shane was a lightweight, he can make the weight and still be effective", this could be the case, but lets not forget that the last time Mosley fought below 147 was 10 years ago. And the man is 38 years old...

    He would be fast enough but he would be weakened early and his power and stamina would be affected. The fight would be made, but is that what Pacman wants a fight with a great fighter who is compromised?

    I'm almost certain that Pac would never dare to fight Mosley at 147 right now. So yeah, if they fight, I'm sure Pac will ask for a catchweight, around 143 pounds. Mosley's name will look good in his resume anyway, so I don't think Pac will care very much for the restrictions he'll put on Shane.

    This one needs a few more votes/opinions.

    Shane would not be effective below 147.

    Dropping down is harder on a fighter than moving up...especially an older fighter like Shane.

    Strangely enough, I think he would be. He was always a small welterweight framewise.

    Framewise maybe, but he's gotten so muscular that he fights at a ripped 160. 143 would be murder on his body at this stage in his career. We all saw what happened to Roy Jones when he dropped lean muscle.

    mosley would not be effective. his ability to move from 147-154 is exceptional, though his best weight is 147. he hasn't fought lower since what, 2001 or so? mosley is a ww, obviously pac-man is if he's fighting for the ww belt. ww is 147: that's what the fight should be.

    but back to the point, mosley's a 147 pounder through and through. dropping now, as has been said, at his age will cost him precious muscle and thus lower his reflexes, speed, stamina everything as has been seen with roy jones and countless others

    mosley would do ANYTHING for the money of a pac fight. pac and roach may just make him
