Shane Mosley Wants Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[hugh grant]

Stop everyone wanting to fight Pac

SSM should go for PBF first. If he beats PBF he can fight Pac. Pac cant fight everybody. You have to qualify to fight him. If PBF beat SSM. He will fight Pac.
Then Pac should retire. If Pac dont want to retire he can fight the middleweight champ Pavlik.

He sounds to me like a man who just finalized a divorce, saying he wants big money fights. While the settlement has not publicized, I am sure he lost a bundle. I can't see him fighting Pacman, but Mayweather sounds better. However, Mayweather knows where the money is: Pacman or Hatton. Mosley needs to fight whoever is out there; he needs the money.

Paul Williams is fighting at the higher weightclasses, he's too big for Welterweight.

He is only fighting in the higher weight classes because none of the top Welters are willing to fight him, as you would know if you were a boxing fan. He will fight at 147lb the moment he can get a fight at the weight against a credible opponent, and he called out Mosley only a couple of days ago. No-one who can make 147lb is too big to fight at Welterweight - that's why it's called Welterweight, not Welterheight. By your logic, Tyson would have fought at Middleweight and Hearns and Nunn would have started their careers at Light-Heavy.

Paul Williams IS NOT a top anything to the volume that Shane is looking for. Shane is looking for a megafight

Exactly my point, he wants the fights that will make him the most money, he doesn't want to fight the best fighters.

Exactly. I get tired reading the ignorant comments relating height and reach with weight.

I know all about Paul Williams and whats going on in the boxing world, and Paul Williams didn't have to move out of the division. Joshua Clottey offered him a fight, he moved up because he has too drain himself constantly to make the weight.

He's much more comfortable at the higher weightclasses, and how can you compare that to Mike Tyson ? Mike Tyson was just a naturally massive guy, as a teenager he was nearing 200 pounds i know height doesn't always have anything to do with weight.

And in my post i didn't say that did i ? but come on he's 6 foot 2 for crying out loud, how many fighters have you known stay at Welterweight being that height ? i can only think of Mark Breland and he had no legs at that weightclass, he went to the canvas about 12 times against Marlon Starling in there 1st fight.

Thomas Hearns moved up in weight and was even as high as a Cruiserweight at one point. Paul Williams has out grown the division, he needs to focus on the higher weightclasses.

If he moves back down again after fighting as high as a Middleweight, he will seriously drain himself and make himself weak. He's looks just fine at Middleweight and i would love to see Paul Williams vs Kelly Pavlik/Arthur Abraham ETC.

Shane Mosley would kill Williams at 47 and you can quote me on that. Williams got beat decisively by Quintana so that says enough. I want Mosley to fight either Mayweather or Berto

mosley is at the top of his game once again, let see how far he can get this time around....

for everybody thats running round talking bout floyd s this & that & he undefeated & all that other nonsence yall be talking. think bout this shane was 38-0 (35K) before his first loss. he couldve took the easy route like floyd then retire but he chose to step up the level of competition. floyd wouldve got zzzzzzed by forrest & lost to winky. i used to be a floyd fan until he refused to step it up. its like somebody that always play madden on pro & never play on all madden b/c they comfortable at that level. imo part of the reason he retired is b/c he couldnt run no more. to me when he said ima retired from boxing not let boxing retire me was a nice way of saying **** you i fight who i want if not i quit. & thats what he did.

shane on the other hand was always willing to fight the best & e proved thats a fact. he couldve said **** forrest, winky, & cotto. he couldve hand picked his fights but real fighters dont do that. same goes for all the other fithers that puttin that 0 on the line. pavlik didnt have to move up etc.

moral of the story floyd needs to step up or stay retired.

SSM don't need to be pickin on Pac, but since he's about to lose the shirt off his back to the ex I can understand it. I'm sure Pac would man up and face him before PBF ever would anyway. I still wanna see SSM try to unify tho, especially against Clottey. Too bad that ain't as big a fight as these others. And if Hatton beat Pac and tried to fight him, SSM would dust his ass.

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!
