beat him into retirement to send Floyd a message and to get drawing power. If Floyd is going to try and be the bully/king on the negotiations table, the fight won't happen.
Why would anyone endorse Pac vs. Shane?
:thinking:
I would actually.
Think it would be a good scrap.
Would look kinda bad tho. Get to Dela Hoya, Hatton and Mosley after Mayweather crushed them.
If you believe no one can challenge Mayweather at 147 your smoking some good shit. Round 2 wasn't a fluke and just because Mosley didn't have enough skill to follow up on it doesn't mean Pac doesn't. So you can swish around all that Mayweather baby batter but the truth is .. if MM isn't a little disturbed about facing Pac then he wouldn't need to set up preliminary rules before even accepting the match. If you can't see that your a nut hugger.
listen simpleton. Floyd could care less about "cleaning" up the sport. im sure now that it's caught on that OST is a GOOD thing for boxing, he's definitely not letting up about how great he thinks of testing. still, this was all a ploy to **** with Pac, and to get inside his head. he created controversy.
the fight last night proved that all the hype and the bullshit about someone being a threat to Mayweather really doesn't exsist. including Manny. No one is going to challenge him at 147. if it is still impossible for some to realize this, then by all means create more hype and bullshit, and continue to try and convince yourself otherwise.

It might happen if the self proclaimed best fighter in history is thinking of taking a year off (What kind of shit is that?)
This proves that Mayweather really doesn't want to face Pacquiao. He has to demand some sort of advantage before he will agree to a fight.
To me that is the sign of a paranoid person afraid to lose. It's comparable to a baseball pitcher who throws no hitters in league B but won't throw a pitch to home run hitter in league A because he "thinks" he is cheating.
Just because you beat an old legend doesn't give you the right to make up the rules as you go along. That is true in any sport not just boxing.
So yes he had a good night last night against Shane Mosley but that doesn't make him greater than the sport itself.

if a deal for Mayweather cannot be reached, Pac must defend his 140 lb title against Bradley for sometime in the fall. i don't think Margarito deserves a shot, plus he was already destroyed by Mosely, whom Mayweather beat. what would be the point?
no where to go for Pac except to fight an undefeated fighter.

Honestly I believe if Pac fought the Mosley that Floyd faced, Shane would stop him.
Ditto. And Pac shouldn't fight Mosley now. He had his chance. No more Floyd leftovers. Fight Bradley, or Berto.
Oh yeah. Shane's with GBP so the fight won't happen without May vs Pac happening first. That should pretty much end this thread.
How? Shane was gassed after the 4th round.I see Mosley knocking Manny out within four rounds.
Manny doesn't have the best defense in the world. Mosley hurt May with two power shots and people are debating whether Pac would've survived those. That, we don't know. What I do believe, though, is that if it'd been Manny standing in front of Shane, it wouldn't have been two shots. It would have been ten. I don't think that Manny could've survived it.
That said, if the matchup is made now, well, that's just one fight further for Mosley, and I believe the May loss may have taken a toll on him. Plus he won't be younger, and Roach will be able to look at more blueprints on how to beat Shane. So, if the fight is made now, I think Pac stops him. Probably. TKO style... he doesn't have the power to knock him out cold.
Why would anyone endorse Pac vs. Shane?
:thinking:
Because Bob Arum would like to make a statement to Floyd if Manny KO'ed Shane giving Bob leverage at the bargaining table.
It's Messed up but I wouldn't put it past Arum
Let me tell you the two reasons this would be a HORRIBLE idea.
1.Pac doesn't win as impressively as Floyd did(he should) that would make him look bad
2.If Pac sold one PPV buy than Floyd did against Shane you know Floyd's camp would never let him hear the end of it.
