1) Pac IS NOT a boxer. Pac is a fighter/banger. Mosley has always been at his best, and looked his greatest - when the other person wants to fight/bang. Mosley has looked bad against boxers/runners (Floyd). Pac is tailor made for Mosley - a come forward "i want to trade" fighter. Look for this to be a great fight!
2) Floyd took Mosley to a 12 UD. Floyd, also, just about got knocked the F*ck out in the second round --- Which everybody seems to have forgot about lately. Floyd claims he does more PPV numbers. This would be a good chance to compare "apples" to "apples". Also, we can see how Pac fares against a 100% prepared Mosley -- Believe me, Shane will be motivated since the Mayweather debacle & Sergio Mora stinker. Bet on it!!
.....3) Reason # 3 is a bonus. I'll take Mosley over a Marquez III anyday. Pac just fought for a 154 title. Roach already said Marquez at 147. Pac would destroy Marquez at any weight, I don't want to see pac fight below 147 ever again....
Get the **** out of here with this ****. Shane hasn't won a fight in literally years! And before the Margs fight he looked like **** for ages.
Pacquiao would KO him within three rounds. It's a pointless, ****ty fight. At least Margs had the decency to win against *someone* before pretending to deserve a shot.
I agree, sir.
This is a BS fight. If this happens, I will be convince Arum isn't working for the best interest of Pacquiao.
Arum deserves all these :buttkick: :spank: :smashfrea: :killyou:
Mosley was dangerous a couple years ago(when Roach said he was too good)!!But I wouldn't be surprised at all if this fight happen now!!I've seen through Arum & team Pacman's bull$hit 3 fights ago,the greatest fighters of this generation the 2 of them are indeed cherrypickers!!Marvilla pfp #1!!

Point number 1 is very valid, Mosley looks best against boxers that want to trade. Look at what he did to Margarito whilst standing infront of him
Hatton. Fail.
Fixed.
Pac's last 3 opponents hadnt won 2 fights in a row before facing him. Can he fight someone who at least has a winning streak?
Shane Mosley hasnt won a fight in over 12 months
Pac's last 4 opponents hadnt won 2 fights in a row before facing him. Can he fight someone who at least has a winning streak?
Shane Mosley hasnt won a fight in over 12 months

This would be a great fight if Mosley's timing, reflexes, and workrate weren't all shot. Aside from the Margarito fight which made Shane look good, Mosley has been crap for a couple of years now. This fight would be a mismatch that Mosley has NO chance to win.
Exactly why this fight means nothing..

This is the biggest misconception about Manny Pacquiao, that he is a come forward brawler. He is not a brawler at all. He trades, but his style is all about movement and speed, and his opponent not being able to handle that movement and speed. He doesn't ever go inside, he rarely just walks opponents down, he is far from some slow footed come forward brawler Mosley could take advantage of.
Pac would move in, out, side to side, overwhelming Mosley with punches, and slow footed, tensed up, no defense Shane Mosley would get slaughtered.
Mosley would be Pacquiao toughest fight since JMM II for 7 or 8 rounds
* unless its at a catchweight
Look at this hater, this shiet would be at 147, eventhough pac is between jrWW and lightweight.
These haters just craving for his downfall, like pac has done shiet to them.

What if Mosley got beaten?
Mosley is an aging boxer his last fight against Mora wasn't convincing;
they will certainly says that Mosley got softened up by Floyd Jr
and Mosley is old, can't pull the trigger no more!
and they will start insulting Pacman!
I would prefer Berto to face Pacman!
Also this.
I'd prefer to see the Berto hype train derailed.

I'd say maybe, maybe three rounds, before it was a one-sided ass-whooping.
We all need to let go of the Mosley nostalgia. He's done competing on a world class level, and has been for some time. Clever matchmaking and that HBO marketing people pick and choose when to complain about was keeping him going, but that was due to the backing of GBP, and if he's truly left them, he's ****ed. He's got nothing left. And no, not because Floyd beat it out of him. He's washed up.

Can't agree. At this level it's all about momentum, and Mosley has none. He had a bad loss to Floyd, and an ugly draw to Mora. Pacuiao needs to keep this fantastic streak going by fighting the best. If not Floyd, then Bradley/Alexander winner.
:HEADBANG: ..... check hook
Pac just had a 50,000 gate(Clottey) and a 44,000 gate(Margacheato)
......Floyd has never done over 20,000 attendance in his life.(that is maximum capacity in his biggest Vegas venue MGM)
So far we don't exactly have "apples" to "apples" YET
Hope Mosley/Pac is next ..... then Mayweather ......Don't miss this one!!
We have apples to apples comparisons. JMM, ODLH and Ricky Hatton. Floyd outdrew Pac all 3 times at the gate and at PPV. It's over. We don't need anymore proof.
We also have an chocolate to boiled lollies comparison. Cotto is the 3rd biggest draw in the USA, yet Mayweather vs Mosley did better than Cotto vs Pac??
On another note i would like to see Mosley vs Pac. I don't think it will happen though. I don't think Roach or Arum will want that fight.
I actually think the fight would be decent. While Mosley will probably gas out, compared to the last fighters Pac has faced he will probably have the highest chance of putting up a fight against the legendary Pacman. His power is his calling card here. Also like the TS pointed out, Mosley looks horrible against highly technical boxers with foot speed. Against brawlers he had no equal in his prime.
I do believe Pac has the best foot work of any fighter in the past 20 years. That is also why he packs such a punch. Watch the Pac vs. Marg fight in slow mo. His foot work and uncanny sense of balance, and weight distribution is what allowed him to break Margs orbital bone. His technique is perfect. So if Pac was a safety first fighter I would say Shane couldn't make this fight competitive, and that it is a mismatch.
Not sure who will agree with me here. But, the only reason Pac got hit by Marg was because Pac wanted to put on a show. Its that fighter spirit in him, that wanted to fight man to man, blow to blow. He wanted to know if he could take Margs shots, and beat him to the punch in every exchange. I do admit he looked more tired than he has ever been. But I know that he could have won comfortably, in an easier fashion. I think he was thinking knockout, until he was shocked by Marg's heart. Because of Pac's character this fight will be exciting.
CLIFF NOTES:
Mosley Power + (Pac's Legendary Status + Pac's willingness to trade with anybody) = Legendary fight for at least 6 rounds.
Funny thing is I think the Marquez fight would be better. Marquez's chin is awesome (not on Mosley or Marg level....) and he is the only person to be able to trade with Pac and win an exchange or 2.
The problem is if you want Pac to pick a fighter he will lose to, you won't find one alive....
