Mosley Once Again After Pacquiao, Now at 140

[Ray*]

Oh dear, Mosley's financial situation must be really bad if he's this desperate.

This now is beyond desperate, Mosley really must have money troubles and he's looking to cash out.

[boxingfan76]

Shane was like 24-26 when he was 135. Shane's now like 37. He's 5'9, full of muscle.

It's been 10 years. Just like it was 10 years for Oscar. This one is going to be ugly. Shane will get beat up. But hey, Pac will get credit because Shane offered the weight.

Cotto knows his limits, Shane should know his, but he's paper chasing. I guess people will do what they need to do, no matter the consequence.

10 years have passed since he made 135 but 5 extra lbs will make up for that even if shne at 75% hell take pac. pac imo just wont hurt shane, enough to keep him off but shane sure would hurt pac i saw pac shaking with hattons glazing blows, no way hed take mosleys sledgehammer punches , i see pac getting kod, i dont belive pacs chin that great to sustain welterweight power .

It's not that hard to grasp the concept of what's going on with the elite echelon of the WW's.

- Cotto has one fight left with Top Rank. He may jump ship to GBP or stay on his own so, of course, Arum wants to get the most money out of him for his last fight. Thus, the Pacquiao fight will be made.

- Pacquiao is not running away from anybody, but his preference is definitely not Cotto. He'd rather fight Mosley (because he can get more concessions out of him; like more money and 140 lbs.) or Mayweather before Manny loses to a Cotto or a Mosley and their dream matchup - which will happen in the future - loses some of its luster. Manny will end up fighting Cotto in November anyway.

- Mosley knocked out an overrated Margarito who couldn't fight and beat elite guys - Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao or P. Will - plaster free. We will see this when the Cotto rematch happens; because it definitely will. There's too much money on that one to let it go. Mosley is made out to be this monster because he knocked out a shell-shocked Margarito who: a) didn't have the same preparation and detrmination as for the Cotto fight; and b) was somewhat softened by Cotto. Regardless of the plaster situation, Margarito was able to take everything Cotto threw at him without being visibly stunned one single time. Whether he cheated or not, his chin and stamina are admirable. But he did take a lot of punches during that fight. I think Mosley won't ever again look as good as he did against Margo. He went for 11 close rounds with a shot Mayorga less than a year ago before knocking him out in the 12th. He looked awful in that fight. Heed my word, Mosley will lose his next fight unless he fights a bum.

- And for Paul Williams, nobody wants to fight poor Paul at welterweight. NOBODY! Even my boy Miguel "Fearless" Cotto. He's just too good. He's better off going to MW and fighting "The Vanilla Ghost" Pavlik.

this isnt desperate boys its called glory and legacy , you think shane needs money? pff been cashing in longer than pac has maybe not as big of purses but much longer,big paydays

[Ray*]

but when you come out and say you are "never going back to 135", then you are no longer just the "smaller guy".

If Pac can no longer make 135, then he is a full fledged JWW, REGARDLESS of where he started.....

Roach already said they were KILLING pac just to make 135 and that 140 would be their best weight, Manny isnt the little guy that some people like to claim on here.

[Pullcounter]

pac isnt so small i dont buy into that whole thinking,

you fail! pac officially weighed 138 lbs against hatton.

he thoroughly pounded hoya, at 147, i agree every fight is difficult, but given pac dominance and recent history of facing only previously kod guys ,he is a coward for not facing mosley

mosley isn't even in pac's weight division. who can you be a coward for not facing someone that is not in your weight division?

for instance mosley smaller and older than delahoya was ,but team pac knows that mosley isnt shot thats where the cowardice comes in, no excuse 140lbs37 years old pac doesnt take that fight he is very much an opportunistic fighter and cowardly in his opponent selection.

pac started at 106 lbs. if he's fighting above 140 lbs, he needs to be picky. calling him a coward is dumb.

will he take credit as a full blown welterweight win ?pFFFFFFFFFFFF

no. pac is not a full blown WW.

and even if all that is true which i dont believe at all, pac wont face him tooooo risky.garunteed pac wont have the balls to face mosley.

do you like fishsticks?

[Pullcounter]

Roach already said they were KILLING pac just to make 135 and that 140 would be their best weight, Manny isnt the little guy that some people like to claim on here.

and yet he officially weighed 138 lbs against hatton!

pac is much much smaller than any WW.

[Ray*]

this isnt desperate boys its called glory and legacy , you think shane needs money? pff been cashing in longer than pac has maybe not as big of purses but much longer,big paydays

Sorry but this has desperacy written all over it, If this was about legacy then Mosley would chase bigger challenges not pac.

[boxingfan76]

what recent history of previously knocked out guys?

david diaz was previously knocked out before pac got to him?

jmm was previously knocked out before pac got to him?

oscar was previously knocked out before pac got to him?

your talking about ricky? the same guy who won 2 fights in lopsided decisions before pac got to him?

i guess after

hearns ko'd duran

foreman ko'd frazier

holyfield ko'd tyson

salvador ko'd azumah

anybody who beats those guys shouldnt get credit huh? & thats just other greats knocking out other greats. very very small sample.

what about greats that got knocked by lesser fighters?

stop with the selective scrutiny. u fail brah.

dont act dumb ,dont get smart, isnt or ever was at the level of pac, hatton was kod by fraud, weak chin , oscar old thats 3 fights in a row brah, how much more history do you needs brah? huh brah? i didnt say pac has never faced top guys , but since jmm he hasnt. do you think its fair to shell out 70 buks for a fight against david diaz or hatton ? and now another foregone conclusion fight and equally previously ko'd guy in cotto , thats not honest brah sometimes brah a cigar is just a cigar, ut you right i cant stand pac because hes being protected , and i just dont buy it brah

[Ray*]

and yet he officially weighed 138 lbs against hatton!

pac is much much smaller than any WW.

And what did Pac weigh on fight night??? And am not comparing pac to any WW just pointing out that pac isnt 16 years old anymore and how him and his team confesses to struggling to make weight at 135.
