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

[Deja_Vous]

I think Mayweather struggled with ODLH and Hatton and they aren't as good as Diaz and Joel in my view. I'm gonna order the fight and not worry about what everybody else thinks of it. I'm more optimistic about the competitive prospects of the Mayweather-Marquez fight than I was with the Pacquiao-Hatton fight. Pacquiao picked a guy that had some underwhelming performances like against Lazcano for example. JMM blasted out Casamayor and Diaz in dominant fashion regardless of how the early rounds went.

This sissy is insane.

i just think its funny that people think he can hang wit the welterweights. okay he beat oscar at that weight. okay thats fine. but oscar was drained, weak, and hadnt fought at that weight i almost ten years. i can understand if he fought someone like cotto, berto, or margarito and schooled them. but thats not the case. i think they gave pacquaio too much credit for beating an old weight drained fighter. people keep comparing pacquaios win over oscar to mayweathers. most idiots dont realize that mayweather fought a better oscar than pacquiao did. oscar was stronger and in better shape against mayweather. so i believe his victory holds better significance than pac's. there is nothing to gain by beating a weight drained de la hoya besides the paycheck.

I don't think so about his advisers or w/ the team, they have done great along the way...

Manny knows that he could beat them all that's why he said he's willing to fight Mayweather, Mosley, etc at a proper time & if the price is right w/c depends greatly on the promoter...But i have said many times before most of them do the talking but Manny do the punching...

lol if they are drained yes manny will beat them all, but on some ***** ****. If he fights them healthy, Cotto Knocks him out in 5, Mosley in 6, Mayweather in in 11. Deep down you know damn well Manny doesnt belong in WW because even Manny and Freddy know this.

The thing that kills me is that Floyd just did the same thing
with Marquez in regards to moving down to 144 to fight Marquez
at a catch weight and people bashed the **** out of him. Now
the supposedly best p4p fighter who has fought comfortably at
WW before against De La Hoya won't even fight Mosley at 144?
People say JMM is at a disadvantage because he hasn't fought
at a higher weight and is going straight for Floyd but if you look
at it, JMM fought two tougher fights at 135 than Pac did at
WW & JW. If Floyd did this to a fighter all hell would have broke
loose.

Translation, "He's not drained enough, Pacquiao can only beat drained or shot fighters"

:gay:

Kind of looks that way.

This is getting ridiculous.

i'll just quote myself for these whiners once more. they're all saying the same things over and over anyway.

is this thread a convention of all whining pachaters? it's not even PAC who made this comment and you're all getting your panties in a bunch.

prior to DLH, PAC's last fight was at 135, oscar was at 154. Pac didnt chase Oscar, Oscar wanted the fight himself, so why would PAC go up almost 20lbs to 154? And who the **** wouldn't accept that multi-million once in a lifetime fight if it was offered to you? If Darchinyan was the P4P #1, i'm pretty sure he'd fight Oscar too if it was offered to him, at 140 maybe?

now mosley aches for a pac fight, pac isnt looking for him. if you're not a ****** you know who should give in these kind of situations.

but then again, these are just prefight negotiations, nothing final, just trying to feel what leverage one got on the other, so stop whining bitches.

You guys act like all manny does is look for weight drained fighters. You all claim De La Hoya was weight drained, but he wasn't. Oscar was just Old. Watch his ring entrance and look at the sweat he had on. He was not weight drained people. Here is a transcript from three weeks before the De La Hoya fight.

"Richard Schaefer, CEO of De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, said the fighter already was in excellent condition.

"He's made the weight. He's really strong. He tells me he's got a great chef who makes him some great omelets, and he loves running at night," Schaefer said. "So the things he's needed to do, he's done."

De La Hoya, whose regimen includes chopping wood and slamming an old tire with a sledge hammer, said he already was down to 145 pounds (66 kilograms).

"I was shocked because I feel so strong. About a month ago, I was trying to make 150, 149, and I was feeling weak, was feeling lightheaded," he said. "My biggest concern was my power and my speed. Coming down to welterweight has actually enhanced my speed and my punching power."
