Mosley Sounds Off on Arum, Cotto-Pacquiao Bout

[JAS_JAS]

i like shane but he needs to stop this nonsense, fight a damn WW. if these WW's want to fight a JR WW they should move down to JR WW. their complaining of catchweights and yet their looking for guys in the lower weight class.

[JAS_JAS]

Mosley is just speaking the truth. What Pacquiao is doing is fighting a guy who was wounded on the battlefield. Mosley is fresh and ready to go and yet Manny doesn't even entertain the thought of fighting Shane. I don't want to see Pacquiao-Mosley or Pacquiao-Cotto. I want to see all fighters concentrate on their own weight divisions. But it's obvious that Mosley-Pacquiao is a more meaningful fight where legacy is concerned for Pacquiao. And there are people on here claiming that Cotto isn't on the downward spiral because he went life and death with Clottey. I can't say for sure if Cotto is that deteriorated or not, but I know Clottey isn't this beast that people make him out to be, even though he's a good fighter. And when you barely beat a guy who has an economic offense and lack of killer instinct, your future doesn't look too bright.

you obviously havent heard of "HEALING TIME" arent you?

Thats a bunch of nonsense.

What that have to do with Mosley acting like a *****.

You just cant say well he did this so he can do that.


Dude acted as a moron. he shoudl fought Berto mean while Cotto was dancing with Clottey. But he cose to wait, wich was ****ing dumb.


he have big fights for him, Williams, Clottey berto. Thats it. I dont know who the hell told him he was getting pacquaio.

Before seeing Berto's borefest with Urango I did want to see Shane wax his ass and take his green belt. But reflecting back on it now, I think it may have been a blessing in disguise that he didn't. Even as a Mosley fan, I've been rubbed the wrong way with the recent grappling tactics he has adopted. Could you imagine a Berto-Mosley fight? It would make John Ruiz's fights look like Arturo Gatti's. Lol.

I see you Cotto cum slurps don't want to see the reality that Cotto wouldn't be where he is if Mosley hadn't given him that shot.

Really ? No, Cotto gave Mosley the opportunity. Cotto was the Undefeated Champ (30-0-0) putting his title and his perfect record on the line. Mosley (44-4-0) wasn’t undefeated nor he held a title at the time of the fight.

Mosley does deserve to lose points for saying that he won't fight Paul because their styles don't match up.

Yes he should. Saying he” won't fight Paul because their styles don't match up” equal to saying I don’t fight him because I know I would lose

and your hero won't rematch him outside of MSG.

Why would him? He beat Mosley already. If Mosley wants a rematch it would be on Cotto’s terms since Cotto already beat Mosley.

Why doesn't Pacquiao let Cotto heal and fight Mosley in the mean time?

Bring on SSM v PBF

Id love to see this one.

Cotto giving Mosley his shot is where you're dead wrong. Mosley was in the hunt for a Mayweather fight after he had beaten Collazo and Floyd had beaten De La Hoya. In fact, it was Cotto and Arum who went out of their way to get a fight with Shane instead of giving Paul Williams a shot they had promised him after his victory over Margarito. And this is when Cotto and Williams were ranked the #1 and #2 Welterweights. Mosley isn't the only one playing the ducking game where Paul Williams is concerned.

I see you Cotto cum slurps don't want to see the reality that Cotto wouldn't be where he is if Mosley hadn't given him that shot. And how is Mosley ducking Williams when Goosen has only made a challenge but not a straightforward dollar offer? Mosley does deserve to lose points for saying that he won't fight Paul because their styles don't match up. But he will likely change his attitude if Pacquiao won't tangle with him and your hero won't rematch him outside of MSG.

What do you mean Mosley gave Cotto the shot. the way i saw it, Cotto gave Mosley the shot. While Cotto was ko the oposition (Quintana, Urkal, Zab Judah) while breaking the record of attendance in MSG, Mosley was on standby fighting a downhill Vargas twice and looking mediocre against Collazo and by the way Cotto beat him also Did you forget. Cotto draws more than Mosley. The only fight that Mosley probably sold more than Cotto was because it was with De La Hoya. Cotto has packed MSG (Judah, Mosley and Clottey) and the MGM (Margarito). Mosley did not fill nothing with Winky twice, Vargas and Mayorga.

Bottom line is that until Mosley don't beat Cotto you can't say he's the best WW.

Mosley needed a chance from Cotto in 2007, ho got it and lost, now he needs Cotto again.

PS
After the Cotto fight Mosley, even in defeat raised his value again. That's how good Cotto is considered.

Because he doesn't want to miss the real money with Cotto and Mayweather.

Mosley doesn't even sell in his own State. Didn't you noticed that a guy (Margarito) that never filled an arena has more fans than Mosley in California.

True that that's mexican territory but Margarito's fan base is not like Chavez,, Barrera or Eric Morales and he still brought mor fans in Mosley's turf

See my above post, and it explains it. I agree that both fighters needed each other. I'm just saying that Cotto wouldn't have the clout that he does without the victory over Shane. And I don't see how people say that was a clear victory for Cotto when it was Mosley who had the clear edge in power connects on top of his aggressiveness in the championship rounds even though the overall punch stat was dead even. My whole point is I don't really care if Cotto and Mosley rematch each other right now. Why can't Pacquiao give Mosley a shot some time in the late summer while Cotto's cut heals? It tells me that he thinks Cotto is vulnerable right now. Don't the Cotto fans want to give him the best chance he can to win? He could use a breather fight before he fights Pacquiao even though I would probably bash him if he took one.
