Props to Mosley for wanting to fight the P4P king at his weight class, 140lbs!

None of you or I no what Shane is capable of with his body. If anything, Shane might even be faster at 140, but who knows. Only Shane knows what he is capable of and by his comments, he seem pretty damn confident in himself.

I have eyes, Shane who is naturally bigger then Cotto isn't gonna be affected going down to 140? I mean, Cotto doesn't dare tangle with 143, Shane would be any better then him at 143? Let alone 140...it ain't even about knowing what Shane is capable of, we've heard fighters spit bull****, RJJ constantly saying he is at his best or when Ali said he was at his best against Holmes.

This is Shane, his ***** took half his money and he is in desperate need of money. That is all it is.

Shane isn't naturally bigger than Cotto. Can you imagine Cotto ever fighting at 135? Seriously? Shane was still there at 27 years of age.

No bitching from Mosley about a catchweight.


He says he'll go down to Manny's current weight and fight him for his 140lbs throne.

This will huge for his legacy if he wins. A championship (The Ring Title) in his fourth weight class (he's never fought at 140). There will be no excuses about the size because he'll be going all the way down to Manny's division. A win would certainly put him in P4P contention.

Everyone's saying this is bull****, but I say why not? Shane knows what he's capable of. He's always in shape. I commend Shane for this and I think it would be a good fight.

I wonder if his 147 belt would be on the line?

[Stoppage]

Some people over exaggerate on these things. While I do think Pacquiao would win in this fight, most people have no idea what they're talking about when they say Shayne will be in danger and can't make the weight at 140. Shayne weighs 147 because he's buff and I believe he uses weights. With a simple change in his training routine he could make it. It's not that huge of a deal.

You're joking, right?

Yes he is, Shane was very young at the time, when he faught at 135. He had serious problems making 135, this is a guy who said, he would no longer be able to make 147, when he moved up to 154.

excellent observation. Cotto is definitely the bigger guy just a little shorter. Mosley may actually have a shot at pulling this off. Can you really imagine Shane losing a hold and hit style fight like he did against Margarito? Shane is very strong and likes to wrestle. We cant really ask for more right now out of this scenario unless Mayweather chimes in at 140.

Make a poll please, Shane is bigger then Cotto.

Meh, I don't see what the big deal is. People act as if Cotto came to Paq and said @ 145 which is false. Paq came to Cotto for the WW title, that shouldn't be fought EVER at 140 it should be at 147 but Cotto agreed to 145. Paq wants the WW title at a bought closer to Jr. WW, that's just ******. However, if Mosley wants the Jr. WW title then it should be at 140 and not a dumb catchweight. Mosley is doing this for one reason and that's money and nothing else, which is sad. He isn't going to draw anywhere near as much money as he thinks he can bring in, he's not a draw anymore. I can see Manny taking the fight over Cotto, not because of more money but because Cotto at 145 or Shane at 140... its pretty obvious who the easier fight is going to be.

This is bad news for Mosley in two ways I think. The first being that if he takes this fight and loses his career is probably over, especially if he looks like DLH at such a low weight. He'll miss out on a Cotto rematch or a shot at Mayweather, essentially he'll be losing 2 more paydays for one which will no way make as much as the other two combined. If he was smart he'd fight Berto or Clottey put on another solid outing like he did against Marg, then if he can't get Mayweather or Paq (assuming they both win) he could get a shot at Cotto I'm sure and then if he wins that fight he could get a shot at Mayweather or Paq. But if Paq or Mayweather lose he could probably get a fight with the loser of one of those, there are a ton of ways he can get a big fight at a better weight for him instead of rushing into a Paq fight at such a low weight.

Secondly, I'm sorry but Mosley and Paq at 140 there is NO chance Mosley wins. He hasn't fought at that weight in what... 7 years or longer. Mosley is also about the same age as DLH and hasn't fought at that weight in the same time frame. I'm not saying Mosley will be as drained as DLH but at an even LOWER weight I'm saying its very likely. Essentially Mosley is going for one last big fight before calling it quits I think and he's willing to risk it all and for a loss more than likely. I'm not telling him how to live his life but look at Hopkins, he fights like a beast above 40 its not impossible for Mosley to do it but instead he wants to be greedy and this is not how I want to see his great career end, should he lose of course.
