Dude calls Pac out relentlessly after he KO'd Margarito.
Even says hed fight Pac at his trademark catchweights.
Then he goes on to get destroyed by Mayweather.
Then goes on to get embarassed by Mora.
Now all of sudden Pac steps up and wants to fight him? You seriously have to be kidding me.
I know its a sh*tty fight but it looks like its gonna happen...we gotta deal with another one sided mismatch yet again, I hope I'm wrong and the fight turns out to be good. But I ain't holding my breath.
“I read them saying Mosley was huffing and puffing for air in the fourth or fifth round,” Arum told Marley. “To me, that is the real tipoff for an aging fighter. Even Big George Foreman did that in his 40s, but he always had that big, big punch, like in the (Michael) Moorer fight. What I’ve read is not very supportive to make any Mosley-Pacquiao bout. Look, he’s going to be 40 and he’s in the lighter weights, where speed is so important. He’s on a show with guys … old enough to be his son.
“I guess Shane needs the money due to his (divorce). I’ve always considered Shane to be a nice guy but this is what happens to fighters when they age. It’s like (Bernard) Hopkins: He still knows how to fight, but who wants to pay to see him now? His fights are not very scintillating. What you see with Hopkins, we’re beginning to see with Mosley.”
When Arum didn’t have anything to sell, he said Mosley was an old man and nobody would want to see him.
This was september, What changed bob.........disgraceful. Mosley couldn't fill an outhouse at this point, so spare me the bankable point.
I'm not really too excited about this fight, but it's crazy how many people front on here like they're not watching the fight.
Just like people who hated on Mayweather fighting Marquez. Guess what, they watched the fight too.
I believe anyway you slice it, Pacquiao would've gotten heat from either of the candidates he fought be it inexperience, being too small, or now in this case...being old.
I guess we're stuck with him fighting the old guy.
What the heck does Floyd have to do with this topic?
Is this what Pac fans have become? When their fighter is pulling a staright coward move thay resport to asking about Floyd?
Gimme a break.
Your thoughts on Pac v Shane?
I think the fight doesn't make any sense on an economic or financial level:
Economically - Mosley demand is on the decline losing to Floyd and drawing with Mora didn't help with his stock, whereas JMM is platued or climbing as he has consistently won against fair to good opposition since is defeat to Floyd. Conclusively, a 3rd fight with JMM is more feasible than a romp with Mosley.
Financially - The gains from a Pac vs Mosley would not exceed a Pac vs JMM fight. I just can't see that rational. I do not have the time to provide analytics. unfortunately, however, my hypothesis is simply this: the demand for JMM is higher than that of Mosley. I believe JMM can draw more and therefore provide a better return.
i thought u dont gives a rats a$$ about that ped user manny?? now u folllow him for years before he was even a star?? im suprise u pick manny over mosley.. i thought manny is a no good unskill one dimensional fighter that wont be able to deal with the style that african american boxers???
Go find ONE post where I ever said this.

I dont follow Manny? Ive been following his career long before he was a star.
My thoughts on the fight: Easy win UD or a TKO.
Shane is done as a fighter.
It's disappointing but we all knew this was coming. I guess the only thing we can look forward to is Manny destroying Mosley in a more emphatic fashion than Floyd.
This is the fight hardly anyone wants to see yet Arum seems convinced this will make him the most money. I don't get it. The public wants excitement, give us Mayweather or Marquez.
why isnt floyd fighing bro?? what is floyd up too?? why isnt floyd returning the favor by giving his fans what they want??? bro whats going on here???

Someone summarise this thread for me.
Apparently saying a 38 year old boxer is past it is disrespectful to their entire career and whether a fight is a good win or not comes down to whether Pactards think one of the fighters is ducking the other.
Someone summarise this thread for me.
Mosley was either a shot fighter before the margarito fight or before the Mayweather fight apparently.
It's actually a very entertaining read.
