It's sickening the amount of disrespect displayed in NSB. Mosley is deserving of the Pac fight just as much as BHop deserved the Tarver fight after losing twice to Jermain Taylor (F'n Jermain Taylor). Win, lose or draw, Mosley has done enough in his career to deserves this fight.
I've been critical of Mosley since the Mayorga fight and predicted his defeat to FMJ. But as the old addage goes "Styles makes fights". This could turn out to be an exciting match in which he KO's Pac. The more likely out come is a fight like the Pac Cotto: exciting 4 rounds, then Pac dominates. Mosley will probably lose, but he can hurt Pac, just like he hurt FMJ, maybe worse.
And for those with short term memory loss.. Earlier this year beating Mosley was good enough to elevate FMJ as Yahoo!'s #1 p4p after the fight. So why isn't he good enough to fight Pac? Besides Mosley who is, Marquez? Marquez @ WW was good enough for FMJ to garner a couple of boxing writer's #1 votes in Yahoo!'s p4p, but the consensus is he's a mismatch for Pac @ WW. If a Kastidis left hook put JMM on his back, imagine what a Mosley left hook would do (Bring out the stretcher). Berto? Whose best competition was a disputed decision over southpaw Luis Collazo. The same Collazo Mosley dominated for 12 rds.
Mosley is the clear welterweight choice. Show the man some respect.
I cannot understand how Pac's fighting mosley is disrespecting him. I myself don't want the fight to happen, but Mosley WANTED this fight. How is Pac disrespecting him by giving him what so many other people wanted and fighting him?
And let's be real here. Could you honestly compare how much money mosley would make fighting Pac versus fighting Berto? Mosley has been through wars and he's old. He obviously wants one last good payday just like any old fighter would naturally want.
Mosley's been pleasing the fans for years. I guess he felt he wanted to do something for himself this time.
Well, I hope he enjoys it. :blackeye:
I hope he doesn't have to spend most of the pay check on surgery
Mosley-Pacquiao after the Mosley-Margarito fight, man that would have been something. Now, too much time has past. Shane deserves the payday, he's fought the best and always brings his A-game but he's a little to old. However, every fighter has one great fight left, was Shane's the Margarito fight or the Manny fight? Probably the former.
mosley went years past his best lookin average in both vargas fights and looked very average against mayorga. him beating the monster outta margarito was a master piece that was not been to play out like that at all. that was his 'last great fight' he had in him!
any expectation after that is asking for wayy too much from d aged great. people asked the same question leading into the mayweather fight. now da fact many in d boxing world is prediciting pac to STOP mosley should tell us how past it he really is. tis fight is disgusting!!
pac is a ****in leech whos career is turnin lame.
although wishful thinkin...i do hope he has that one last fight left in him.
Are you really trying to make that comparison?
And, it wasn't earlier this year. And, a lot has changed since then. When Floyd beat him, Mosley was arguably the #1 WW, lineal champ coming off an impressive win. Now, Mosley is coming from a Floyd beat down and in a fight where he looked like crap against Mora.
Garbage ass fight.
The clear WW choice should have been Berto.
Exactly. This fight is crap.

Pac's choices are slim at best. Mosley is the clear choice. He's the only one with the mainstream appeal that can generate a good ppv showing and his record speaks for itself. If he was hurt or ko'd by Floyd, then I'd be totally against this fight but come on. As far as a good WW with a name and who can generate interest: There's only Shane.
Mosley is not the "clear ww of choice".
He's old, shot and can't pull the trigger. He needs to gtfo and stop holding the sport hostage.
Go cry about it somewhere else.
Sooo,again,it's Mosley's fault for team Pacman choosing him huh??

don't ever think of becoming a boxing promoter.
It was 2 years ago this month so its fair to say he hasn't won a fight in pretty much 2 years.
Yeah thats about right man how time flies in a week or so to years since the devastation of Margs.
Where were you for Margarito cause that was a win in my book....

Ill stop disrespecting Mosley when he wins a fight, which he hasn't done in two years.
And Pacman is not a fighter he has a chance of beating.

He also looked bad against Mora, was that due to his style? Maybe. But he still looked bad, very bad infact.
Styles makes fights but at this stage in his career Mosleys style is the perfect style for Manny to put a whooping on.
I heard nobody looks good fighting mora. But that's just what i heard. I myself haven't seen mora fight, so i cannot agree or disagree in this regard. just my $.02.
Mosley is a great fighter...not the best out there but GREAT. He might be old, and he might have looked bad against May, but May is one of the best out right now. Styles makes fights....

It seems to me like the majority of people are still blaming Mosley for this fight,but Pacman is the 1 that made this fight happen,not Mosley.Mosley brings absolutely nothing to the table in this fight but his name.
MOST of the blame goes to Pac for this fight. SOME of it goes to Mosley cause obviously this fight wouldn't happen if he didn't agree to fight Pac. If Mosley didn't submit his application for the Pacman sweepstakes, then there would have only been two choices for Pac to fight and not three.
Pacquiao fighting Mosley is disrespecting Mosley. Mosley should have fought Berto than retired. It was easily a winnable fight, but if he did lose it might not have been that bad and the best thing about it is he would pass some of his fame to the next generation, something that has happened almost every generation up until now
I cannot understand how Pac's fighting mosley is disrespecting him. I myself don't want the fight to happen, but Mosley WANTED this fight. How is Pac disrespecting him by giving him what so many other people wanted and fighting him?

you're right TS. We should applaud his twitching and giving up against Mayweather. Face it....
he's old, shot, and easy pickings for Pac. This will be Marg-Pac all over again. Two BS fights back to back...
It seems like Pac is in a competition with Mayweather to win the P4P cherry picker award.
Co-fvcking sign,best post of the year!!Right there!!
Collazo gave Berto a good fight, Mosley whooped Collazo....Marquez is a lightweight, okay that's all cool and I can't argue with facts, but Mosley hasn't looked good since Margarito, and before Margarito? I would've preferred Marquez....In any case, I can't say Mosley has done anything that warrants this fight, other than leave Golden Boy LOL. But you have to account for the people judging this fight, critics of this fight, half of whom are critics of Manny Pacquiao, do you expect them to praise this bout? or dispute it even more, forgetting the high standard many of them held Mosley prior to the Mayweather fight, and after (still calling him the 2nd/3rd best welter in order to amplify Mayweather's win)... are we saying Mayweather fought a bum now, or what? It's almost laughable how much things have changed. 2ndly, stop giving a f*ck what anybody else says....:boxing:
Alla that is bull$hit.Everyone said the Floyd would duck Mosley,all the Pactards were on Mosley's jock.I for 1 thought Floyd wouldn't fight him.Mosley was the welterweight to beat when Floyd fought him.After the fight it was Pactards that started saying Mosley was old & shot.Against Mora,everyone agreed his best days are behind,but as soon as Pacman decides to fight him,every thing is all right,what's funny is when people actually make $hit up to try to turn the tables,keep it real.
