No bitching from Mosley about a catchweight.
He says he'll go down to Manny's current weight and fight him for his 140lbs throne.
This will huge for his legacy if he wins. A championship (The Ring Title) in his fourth weight class (he's never fought at 140). There will be no excuses about the size because he'll be going all the way down to Manny's division. A win would certainly put him in P4P contention.
Everyone's saying this is bullshit, but I say why not? Shane knows what he's capable of. He's always in shape. I commend Shane for this and I think it would be a good fight.

It's all about money, he's becoming a whore he'll do anything for money.
Shane knows what he's doin'.......personally, I think he beats Pac all day on any day but I have to admit that 140 will make the fight tougher for Shane :boxing:
you can't be serious.did he know what he was doing when he got the cream and the clear? he's desperate.that's all.
Bottom line is that people just hate Shane Mosley, the guy is a great fighter seems like a alright guy, he fights everybody , has never been KO'd and he is simply trying to get the best fight that he can. It's not his fault Margorito tried to cheat, maybe Cotto should have had a professional from his camp inspect the gloves and gear like any sane reasonable trainer would do before sending his guy out for a world class boxing event. People love to let Cotto off the hook for quitting by say Margorito beat him with plaster all nite thats why he quit. Despite the fact that there was no proof because Cotto or his team never bothered to look, in fact they didn't say shit until he got caught by Mosley's team in the next fight, The people that let Cotto get a *1 on his record also discredit Mosleys win VS Margorito because he didn't get to fight with plaster. It's insane, fact is Cotto landed tons of punches and they didn't do a godamn thing, Shane landed a ton of punches and knocked that sweaty mullet clad bum the **** out. People act like Shane did it by accident or something, cotto gets hit alot period, he lets himself get hit and he gets hit anyway during the fight because he don't have that great of defense. Shane did not get hit and thus he dominated the fight in every possible way. Yet he gets no credit at all.
People can say what they want but Shane Mosley & Bernard Hopkins did themselves a disservice destroying younger fighters and now no one will give them a fight. Top Rank won't go near those guys. I still feel Shane will get snaked on this fight by Arum using the same old school business tatics that have already ran the sport into the ground and allowed UFC to even be mentioned as surpassing the sport in this era.
Pacman fans want Cotto because everyone can see the guy is declining and he's very easy to hit and has problems with speed. His team then will microwave Cotto by using a contract, the same contract that will give Cotto a measly 30-35% of the money and he has to put his title up, even though there not fighting in the divison. Arum threw Cotto under the bus to get with Pacman, he didn't make Pavlik put his title on the line. Plus Arum gonna tax both fighters and pay himself and host the event, another cutrate Don King style PPV that sounds like shit from the start with all the bickering before the contract is even on the table.
Mosley deserves this fight or a Cotto rematch period. One or the other he is a champion and is willing to do whatever it takes to fight either man. Pac fans that say he's the best and want him in a real fight that will secure his legacy should be like bring it on. Most don't even think Shane can make the weight anyway so if he comes in all ****ed up it's on him and y'all can sit here and watch him pound another greedy man that damn near killed himself to make a check. Pacman has destroyed his last two microwaved guys why not add a guy that can't bitch because he demanded the weight? Bottom line y'all know Shane Mosley is a beast and thats why Pac don't want him, simply because he could very well lose the fight and then the Mayweather Mega Fight is done, but for us Mosley fans don't mind that one bit because Mayweather Vs Mosley is still the best fight with the two best matched athletes in the sport of boxing. before anyone starts mayweather cannot be expected to fight Mosley after a two year layoff, no way. Pacman has been active and dominant and he won't go near Mosley either.
I 100% believe Mosley can win the fight, he has agreed to this for a reason and if he does it and loses i will give Pacman 100% credit and have to recognize him as TOP TEN ATG.
Thread starter is 100% right Props to Mosley for doing what people want fighters to do and thats try to make good fights. He is trying to get Pac , Cotto Floyd and he earned it and can't get shit. he deserves some credit he's Sugar Shane ****ing Mosley Are You ****ing Kidding Me LOL!!!!!!!!!!
this post almost made me cry :lol1:......good job my dude :fing02:

Good damn post! Green K 4 U.
Shane knows what he's doin'.......personally, I think he beats Pac all day on any day but I have to admit that 140 will make the fight tougher for Shane :boxing:
Shane Mosley hasn't fought 135lbs. since 1999...that was 10 yrs ago...is he seriously looking to get put into a coma??? Look at Shane's body...the dude is ripped up and doesn't have much fat to lose...that's dangerous because you will have to lose muscle...think of Roy Jones Junior losing all his muscle from after he beat John Ruiz...look how awful he looked against Tarver and that was him being out of the division for one damn fight...Shane has been out of 135 for 10 yrs. I'm sorry but this fight at 140lbs doesn't look right on paper nor does it sound right for any sane person with half a brain.
No I don't think props are in order, I think a boot to the head is in order for Golden Boy Promotions and Shane.
We all know what what happened with him and his wife, but Shane has always had that mentality to fight the best no matter who it was.
Just because Cotto is afraid to fight Pac at 143 doesn't mean Shane is.
Shane will make the weight because if you want to be the best you got to beat the best. This is why Cotto will not be great and his career is already on the down side. Hes not willing to be the best and take risk.
Shane Mosley is not one of those fighters such as a RJJ, Ali, or even Floyd. He doesn't talk Bullshit and never gets big headed like those other fighter you mention. Thats the difference between listening to BS and knowing whats real when a fighter talks. Don't put Shane in their category because his personality is way different then any of those fighters you mentioned.
greater risk = greater legacy = great fighter
less risk = ordinary fighter = top 500 ATG :)
First you all are hating on the catchweight shit. Now you all are shitting on Shane for going down to Manny's weight. Especially the Cotto fans, seems they're pissed cuz Shane is willing to do what Miguelito won't: Fight Manny at a weight that is advantageous to the little man. Cotto wants no part of it, understandably, seeing how Manny flattened Ricky and Miguel has no chin. Anyway, Shane is willing and able I'd love to see what he brings to the table at 140. I always thought he looked slow and too muscular at 154, he was on good at 147 and great at 135. If he thinks he can make 140 and be competitive, I'd like to see him do it.
why do you want to see shane get a one sided ass whoppin?
