Petitions are silly sometimes.(This one can be construed as silly to some) Sometimes they are great. They get our favorite politicians on the ballot. (Now does anybody really have a favorite politician)They also get important issues to the forefront. This is not a serious issue, or anything truly important in the grand schemes of society. But I am a big fan of boxing history. Heck I still have Ring Magazines from when I was a kid,(I am pretty young, one of those endangered 30 year old boxing fans) sitting dusty in my closet. I will take one out every now and then and read about great fighters from a past.
I always wondered to myself. What would it have been like to see Henry Armstrong fight Barney Ross for Welterweight crown in the 1930’s. Now I don’t have to think about what was, I can now think about what could be.
After an overwhelming response from my blog yesterday.

I am now interested in knowing if anybody else is with me. I know there are other great matchups out there. But none present the history Pacquiao could get by fighting Mosley for the Welterweight Championship. It would be unbelieveable if Pacquiao could win this 7th title in his 7th weight class. It would no doubt cement him as one of the to 10 fighters of all time. (He is already an all time great)
Also if you read my story yesterday you know, stylistically the Pacquiao-Mosley match-up would be special. Sign on if you want. I know it may seem corny and ****** to some. But how else can you tell promoters and managers you want to see a big fight. Link below.

The Goal is 1,000 signatures. So forward it on to fight fans. If we reach it I will deliever this to Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions.
