Pacquiao's Adviser Says "Mosley at 144 is Too Much"

[boxingfan76]

This. 100% agree. Weightdraining can KILL YOU. It decreases the water weight in your body and especially your skull area, thus decreasing the padding your body needs to absorb damage. Boxers can and do die in this sport for this very reason. Does a high profile boxer need to excessively weightdrain and die in dramatic fashion to get this point across? Is Somalia or any other weightdrained place on Earth appealing? Ok, now apply that to fighting somebody. See the problem yet?

absolutley its common sense but they come up with every excuse to not admit this, finally people are getting to see pac and teams true colors.boxing fans arent ****** they arent going for this crap.

Shane Mosley should just focus on 147 and forget about the Pacs/Floyd's
of this world atleast till after they have fought because clearly he is not
getting neither before that happens. I would be satisfied with seeing
Mosley fight the winner of Cotto/Clottey and becoming the Lineal champ
of the division.

Mosley is not The Ring champion, the title is vacant. He needs to rematch Cotto before there will be a Ring champion.

Cotto was lucky to get that decision. I scored it 115-113 Mosley, and that was in NYC, aka Cotto's second Puerto Rico.

Mosley SHOULD be the ring champion. He is the WBA champion, but I don't see any of the other champs at 147 beating him in Clottey(former, he gave it up to fight Cotto), Cotto(former, lost to Margacheato), and Andre "i have a lot of talent but I'd rather hug it out against 140 fighters" Berto.

i second that motion.

1. First of all, Its Wakee Salud's statement... Wakee salud is his Financial
Adviser. What kind of statement can you get out of him?...

2. Dont be too excited as if, Pacman already approved his opinion...

When you have advisor's they NEVER supposed to speak on your
behalf without consulting with you first because Pacquiao is the
boss. Whatever his advisor is saying that is what they have all
agree on.

Two things to remember:

1. Wakee is Buboy 80+ pounds lighter in a business suit that serves as the mouth of Pacquiao.

2. Buboy is Pacquiao's lead cheerleader who doesn't wear a suit and outweights Wakee by 80+ pounds, but Pacquiao still lets Buboy speak for him.

What does that mean? I don't know, but it's funny.

Cotto was lucky to get that decision. I scored it 115-113 Mosley, and that was in NYC, aka Cotto's second Puerto Rico.

The majority of boxing writers scored it narrowly to Cotto. And in any case, the official score is the only score that counts when it comes to titles. That's why Marquez is The Ring champion at lightweight, despite the fact that he beat Casamayor, and Casamayor really did get a gift decision - in the opinion of every single boxing writer, bar none - against Santa Cruz.

The Ring championship is vacant, that's just a simple statement of fact. Mosley won't be the Ring champion unless he officially beats Cotto. That's also just a simple statement of fact.

Let us not make the weight as an excuse, their team has their dietary expert to protect the boxer...What ever the outcome after every preparation it's not a good excuse to discredit the performance of the opposing team cause it's part of the overall preparation...Likewise to accept an offer agreed at a specific catch weight was already well studied & carefully understood by each team, so in that case no room for excuses could we expect & what ever failures in preparation may arise along the way their respective team will be accountable for that...

[iBox]

Catchweights should be made against the rules or something along those lines, this is getting ridiculous.

In an ideal world, but not necessarily in practice. Remember Pac's advisers agreed to 50/50 with Hatton and then Pac said no to it afterwards?
