hopkins fought pavlik at 170...just to correct you
Holy I knew I was missing something huge when I posted that.
Well, pavlik/hopkins @ 170 was about 2 years ago. I wonder if Hopkins can still make 170lbs. Anyways this thread is about pac/mosley.
I agree with everyone saying Pac could be the first to stop Mosley.
Wow.. after reading all the Shane Criticism , point is Pac still refuses to get in the ring with Shane...but rather fight an opponent Shane mop the floor with....
jr middleweight limit is 154..not 150-151..when you cap off a weight class you're creating a new weight class
154 is a limit. so 148-154 is junior middleweight. thats why its called catchweight. catchweight has been around for long time. nothing new there.

I agree. However if both fighters can make the catchweight without being drained, then I don't see a problem. Pac/Cotto @ 145 shouldn't have drained Cotto. He came in a 146 against Clottey.
For example, if you have today's Bernard Hopkins fight Andre Ward @ catchweight 170, it doesn't look healthy for Hopkins who hasn't made 170lbs since 2007 against Winky.
Even after the Mayweather fight, I gave Mosley a huge chance of being able to hold his own against even hurt Pacquiao. But after the Mora fight i have my doubt, because i think Mosley had a lot of chances to land that right hand hard and fast, he would corner Mora effectively but wouldn't let it go, he seemed tentative the whole fight.
150-151???wtf kinda weight class is that??? you gotta be trolling
Well I'm just trying to be realistic based on what's been happening in this "sport".
Pac and Marg are fighting at what, 150 or 151 catchweight?
Both Pac and Mosley are fighting at 154 now, in a way.
But, as always, Mosley looks bad at 154. If they fought at 147 that would be nice, but I can see a catchweight happening at 150-151 ish. I actually think that's the best weight for Mosley because I feel Mosley will have a hard time making 147 now.
