Would Pacquiao vs. Mosley be so bad?

Any realistic fight involving May or Pac dont interest me....... unless its vs each other.

Next ?

 

**** that Fight!! real talk

Make Pac vs Floyd or Pac vs JMM 3

 

I'm not saying these guys aren't warriors or aren't good in their own right, but this the best fighter in the world we're talking about. I understand you can only fight what is physically possible (that's why he shouldn't be fighting Martinez) or that are in front of you (why he can't fight Mayweather) but these fights surely can't enhance his legacy.

Clottey was limited, a warrior who tried his best, but shouldn't be in there with a great fighter and the pound for pound king.

Margarito was a controversial fighter, best win shrouded in mystery, limited fighter (yeah he was bigger than Manny but size isn't everything) and had a pretty bad recent record.

Then we get to perhaps my third or forth favourite fighter since I started watching boxing as a lad, Shane Mosley. He puts his name out there and only has himself to blame if he gets a beating, but he doesn't deserve to be in there. Andre Berto, Timothy Bradley, Amir Khan etc all have stronger recent resumes even if they are green. I understand they don't generate the revenue that Shane could do but they'd improve his legacy for me (even if they are green.)

I have no problem with Manny taking tuneup fights or fights for money. He deserves every penny he has made from boxing but I do tire of x fighter increases his legacy because x fighter is so tall or x fighter did this in 2005.

I've decided to purchase my Manny Pacquiao career set before there is footage of him stopping an old Shane Mosley.

 

I rather see pac vs berto

berto - young-champion-fast-KO puncher

 

It's bad like dropping my pants :nut

 

Last i check marquez was # 2 @ 130 behind pacquiao
Hatton was # 1 @ 140 and coming from TKOing malignaggi
Cotto was just coming off 2 wins before the pac fight.

Funny how so many people here in ESb got short term memory

 

This fight would of been good when Shane was trying to make it happen a couple of years back. But like Roach said "Shane is a better fighter then Oscar" so it didn't happen. Fighting a 39yr old Shane could still be entertaining, but for who Pac fans? This is boxing so anything can happen, Shane could maybe pull a upset, but then again this is the reason why he's being considered an opponent now and not then. It's a big maybe, Considering he's knocking on the door of 40, the odds of him winning now are slim to none.

 

mayweather or martinez are the only fights above 147 that i want to see

 

Actually Cotto was coming off of a severe beating by the hands of Margarito a fight where he had to be saved by his corner where he virtually quit, a win off an unknown Michael Jennings and a gift decision vs Clottey in which i thought he lost, Hatton was coming off his first loss by way of KO by the hands of Mayweather and a win against featherfisted Paulie who is nothing special.

He then proceeded to fight Clottey who was coming off a close decision loss to a man Pac just destroyed (Cotto) and Clottey got a win against the inconsistent southpaw Zab Judah who gave Clottey some problems early, the same Clottey who loses every big fight,

He then chooses to fight Antonio Margarito who was coming off his worst beating and getting KO'ed, followed by a win over a guy who is so unknown i can't even think of his name.

Pac now wants to fight Mosely who is coming off the most onesided loss of his career, where he won one round and a draw against Segio Mora who is at best a B- fighter, hmmm, do you see a pattern here, i do, if you've just suffered a dramatic loss but beat a bum you can get a fight with Manny.

If you have looked good as of late forget about a fight with Manny and lets not forget his fight with Oscar "The Skeletonboy" De La Hoya who was beyond past it as evident to him immediately retiring and the B level fighter in David "The Mummy" Diaz who was the easiest victim at lightweight to steal a title from.

Pacquiao is as worst a cherrypicker as anyone in the history of the sport, that is all.

 

Pacquiao-Mosley is better then both Pac-Clottey and or Pac-Margarito.

 

Although that may be the case, people are disappointed because everyone knows pre-fight that Shane Mosley is old and shot. His present stamina would make him s sitting duck to Pac. At least Margarito kept throwing. I'm not even sure this Mosley can beat the present Margarito. I'd say for sure Clottey would beat Shane today.

 

Mosley knocks out Margarito everytime they fight. Even if he is 50, he is knocking out Margarito. Clottey-Mosley would be a close fight, but Mosley would win in my opinion. Styles make fights.
