Mosley still has an opportunity to land a big fight with Pacquiao, even in defeat. If the Mayweather negotiations fall through once again, Mosley would still be a viable opponent for Pacquiao in the welterweight division. I think after his performance against Mayweather, it may have encouraged Roach to believe that at this point in time, Mosley would present less of a threat to Pacquiao than he once believed. And having Mosley's name on his resume must surely hold weight with Pacquiao.
How do you think things pan out: another collapse of the Mayweather negotiations, and a fight with Mosley instead? Or, is the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight pretty much guaranteed to be next?
That is an awesome question
Great Thread!

pac has proven this before
I say he and roach fight SSM at 144 and then he knocks a drained SSM out and then the huggers come out and say how much better pac is than Mayweather cause he knocked out someone that Floyd couldnt
144 LMAO here we go again, he wants Floyds left overs and special rules with no drug testing LMAO and y'all wonder why people say he's suspect LMAO.
Good Question...I see Mosely fighting Pac before Floyd fights Pac.
Mosely would most likely low-ball himself and make all pac consessions.
Floyd will stand tall as he now proves to the public that he is the bigger draw AND defeated one of the premier fighters in the WW division.
Mosley would be much easier to negotiate with than Mayweather imo, and the contract could possibly favor Pacquiao in some ways. Even Nazim Richardson said Mosley is a bad negotiator because he just wants to fight too much. It's understandable though, having been out the ring for so long before the Mayweather fight, and not through personal choice.
Floyd has never had an interest in fighting welterweights who r contenders or younger and havent been through wars yet. Funny how Pacquiao took on the tougher welterweights and hes not done. I always liked Shane Mosley and the excuse tht Mosley couldnt figure Floyd out is y he didnt throw punches is BS, Mosley doesnt care about figuring u out and when he gets hit he always counters because of his competing will to push u to the edge. Pacquiao will be too much for Floyd because he hits much harder and is faster then Mosley. He hits u from different angles and has a unique punch he uses from his martial arts background tht no one can see.
from blood-testing "all the way up to the fight." - FMJ
to a "24-day cutoff." - Manny
"14-day cutoff" - FMJ
that's a compromise.
from wanting USADA to conduct the tests - FMJ
to not wanting any body floyd appoints to conduct the testing - Manny
to "we can come together, and find a mutually agreed upon agency." - FMJ
another compromise.
i guess what you mean by "compromise," is mayweather dropping the demand altogether, and just agreeing to all of Top Ranks demands. :pat:
obviously there's got to be some give and take. they way you're going about it, it seems like you don't want the fight. I'm all for whatever it takes to make the fight cause I acutally wanna see it
Wow so much hate towards Pacquaio when Floyd is obviously tryin to get an advantage over his opponents, HBO and Golden Boy obviously trying to keep this man undefeated for money reasons, Mosley: "Now u guys get to see Mayweather fight Pacquiao if he takes the blood test", Mosley looked drained and over trained, which even in recent fights hes never gassed out so quickly. He threw alot more punches in the margarito fight and came on late in the Cotto fight, something was definately up, Pacquiao is a big threat to Mayweather, speed, Power, movement, unbelievable stamina an relentless activity, Floyd will be looking for every possible advantage he can get b4 the fight
pac/floyd is never gonna happen if floyd doesn't compromise
That's the most accurate thing to say at this point. I don't think it will happen soon. Arum and Co. are not going to back down. They will stick to their original position. Mayweather won't definitely be Pac's next opponent. It won't be Mosley. It's stupid to even think so.
Pac stated earlier that he is still good for three more fights. Pac will demolish his next opponent in another impressive win. You could imagine how it will eclipse Mayweather's last fight.
We've seen Mayweather's fight with Mosley. Pac can beat both in astonishing fashion. Don't take my word for it. Watch their recent fights and use your effing brains.
