Wouldn't fighting Mosley be fighting Floyds leftovers?
There is no real answer to this question.
In the most technical sense he also fought Floyd's leftovers in Hatton and De La Hoya. Except De La Hoya, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Hatton are 4 of the Top 5 draws in boxing. So its gonna make money either way, and off of reputation alone each fight would be viewed as competitive bouts.
That said Margarito is also Mosley's leftovers, but I'd say Bob Arum actually struck gold with that hand wrap controversy. That is a selling point to pass Margarito off to the general public as well as Pacquiao moving up in weight(And there's also the Mexicutioner angle as well).
On the other hand people only just remember Mosley getting his ass kicked in May.
I personally believe Mosley vs Pacquiao would be more competitive than Margarito vs Pacquiao just because Mosley has hand and foot speed, and 1 punch KO power, and I believe Margarito is a bum. But off of the back of Shane Mosley's loss in May that would be a tough sell to the public
Because marg is a bigger money fight. And pac would get no credit for beating mosley - people would justsay he was floyds leftovers
and yep, i think mosley is the riskiest fight for pac in terms of risk:reward. If he loses to floyd, he's lost to the best fighter of the generation and he'll make tons of money regardless. But mosley - not a great deal of money for the fight, and the risk is enormous - because Shane would be motivated to give his fans one last great performance
money and risk in my opinion is about the same for both a Marg or Mosley match up, but at this moment i would say Mosley would be more interesting, Marg still hasn't proven if he's the same fighter he used to be.
plus to say fighting Mosley would be considered fighting Mays leftovers, technically speaking PAc is fighting Mosley's leftovers.
bigger money fight? pac will get no credit for beating a guy mosley ktfo'd. why NOT fight mosley? fighting margarita is mosleys leftovers.
so ur content seeing pacyow in a safe nonrisk fight? this is the sort of mentality that drives me nuts. errbody is crying how much of a warrior pacyow is but he keeps preying on guys who have been getting their asses kicked lately.

you might get what you wish for though. he could fight Mosley after Margarito if there is nothing left to fight. but i dont want to hear any left over excuses. because Manny will definitely beat Mosley better that Floyd did.

Yeah I agree. Shane can stop Pac cold but if Pac stoPped Shane it wouldnt shock me either.
People wont admit this but I watched Shane get hurt by Floyd multiple times. Body and head. Especially body in Round 10. Floyd just plays it so safe he doesnt follow up. He was close to getting him out of there. Even Naz was about to throwin the towel in the 8th or 9th.
Shane's been hurt a lot before (Forrest I - Got knocked down twice, and later in the fight Mosley screams when forrest gets him with a body shot ). He wasn't about to get stopped or quit
Seriously Naz was just saying that to try and motivate Shane, no way was he really going to throw it in.
Can't see Shane ever getting KO'd - as in out cold, but i can see the ref stepping in if he takes too much punishment. Having said that - he's too competitive, and everytime he gets hit he tries to comes back.
Pac would beat him, but he'd definitely have to watch out for Mosley's straight right. if he gets caught flush once or twice, he's going to get KD'd. He'd get up, but Pac is made for Shane and if he walks into too many, i can see him getting KO'd
Yeah but Floyd is way more defensive then Manny
Manny gets hit alot and he could get his azz knocked out
I think it would be way more competitive than the Mosley May fight because manny likes no wait he loves to fight

Ofcourse he will stop Shane.
Hell Floyd almost stopped his ass.

You could also say Shane is tailor made for Pac.
true
so reed what is the minimum characters you can post with
I just tried to post "very true" and it said my message was too short
Yeah I agree but people around here are acting like Pac would do what floyd did to SSM but knock him out instead
Pac is an offensive minded fighter
and what is pac famous for after getting chin checked?
stepping back knodding his head slapping his gloves together and going back in to get hit.
As bad as Shane looked last fight I think it had more to do with his opponents style than him being old. Pac is taylor made for shane but pac has pop and speed
I would love to see them fight even at this point

I'm thinking it would be an accumulation of punches type thing and a ref stoppage.
Yeah, maybe. I'll get back to you after the Margarito fight.
I voted yes BTW, had it said would instead of could, it'd have been no.
Shane's at the age where you start to lose your balance, but he has a solid chin, so I think he'd get back up. And he knows how to clinch when in trouble, so I don't think Pac'd stop him, though it is possible.

Ehhh... Pacs got a little more defense than Shane IMO...
Shane keeps his gloves damn near at his chest and neck area.
Pac will hold his gloves up real high and block some of the incoming punches.... he doesn't have great defense, but I'd put him over Shane... he's at least conscious of it.

maybe but what Shane would have going for him is that he wouldnt have to chase pac around and use his legs or stamina
pac would come to him
lets not forget pac is just as hittable as Shane.
Pacs defense is his offense
Shane is going to land on pac and I cant see pac being able to take it all night
the speed would bother shane but he is more than willing to get hit to get his shots in and I dont know if packy could take those shots
would be hella entertaining though
