Dull, defensive-minded boxers like Floyd Mayweather and Kevin Johnson are not fun to watch. They hurt the popularity of the sport.
It would be great for boxing if a warrior like Shane Mosley manages to catch Floyd with a good punch and knock him out. Floyd will run from Shane like a frightened little girl, but I have a feeling Shane will eventually catch him with somethin good. :)
Then we can see two great ring warriors, Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, face off in the ring!
No, Mayweather's COWARDLY STYLE turns away potential boxing fans...
Shane vs. Manny would WIN NEW FANS to the sport! :fing02:
Are you British or just retarded?
Pac and his camp are more interesting in fighting Mosley because he suit Pac's style perfectly. If Pac is the great boxing King like most boxing experts says he is, he should be able to adjust to any styles and be more versatile. This is why i think Floyd is more talented than him, Floyd can adjust to any styles and he'll figure out a way to beat his opponent(s).
Mayweather-Pacquiao would be bigger than Mosley-Pacquiao...
would be a decent amount bigger but it would not be as entertaining, pac vs mosley would be a war.
You guys are right Pac vs Mosely would be very exciting. The ball is in Mosley's court now, Roach and Pac already said they would fight the winner of Mayweather/Mosely. Funny thing is that if Mayweather wins, then the Pactards will talk about Mosely's age, ring rust, etc. They will forget how they were hyping him to be a great warrior, skilled boxer,blah, blah.
Some Pac fans don't even seem like boxing fans. you don't want the two greatest fighters of our era to fight just because it isn't exciting enough for you?
Mosley is a bona fide great fighter, Floyd is just a chicken-hearted cherry picker.
I think Pacquiao vs. Mosley is as good as it gets.
how come Mayweather is the second most popular boxer out there?:boxing:He does seem to have quite a gay following, perhaps because they can relate to Floyd's lifestyle with his man Ellerbe. :luvbed:
But he doesn't appeal to real boxing fans.
Mayweather-Pacquiao would be bigger than Mosley-Pacquiao...
That it maybe... However the better fight for the money is Pacquiao-Mosley. It's a much more explosive, entertaining fight then Pacquiao-Mayweather. I for one prefer the action take no prisoner style of a fight with SSM and Pac. -- to that of a fight with Mayweather who's just going to run.
Id rather see mosley and pacquiao because they will actually fight and make everyone happy.Mayweather will fight the way he always fights which is throw 1 or 2 shots then run or hold.
mosleys on his way out, how wouuld that be good for boxing?
He has enough left in the tank for a last great fight with Pacquiao. And he's a LEGIT ATG, not a cherry-picking chickenheart like Floyd.
If you want to see only toe-to-toe and not skillful tactics, Stick to MMA ***.
:stupid: Wrong. It doesn't require much skill to RUN from an opponent.
Mosley and Pacquiao are HIGHLY-SKILLED boxer-punchers! :)
Don't you understand it requires great skill to throw those six-punch combinations we saw from Manny last night, and to work angles as rapidly and effectively as he was doing?
What would be good for the sport would be the biggest possible boxing event taking place, which is Mayweather vs Pacquiao.
