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

[freedom213]

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.

I dont remember him saying that he moved up chasing Oscar the golden egg

[NoFear24]

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.

We all know what what happened with him and his wife, but Shane has always had that mentality to fight the best no matter who it was.
Just because Cotto is afraid to fight Pac at 143 doesn't mean Shane is.
Shane will make the weight because if you want to be the best you got to beat the best. This is why Cotto will not be great and his career is already on the down side. Hes not willing to be the best and take risk.

Shane Mosley is not one of those fighters such as a RJJ, Ali, or even Floyd. He doesn't talk Bull**** and never gets big headed like those other fighter you mention. Thats the difference between listening to BS and knowing whats real when a fighter talks. Don't put Shane in their category because his personality is way different then any of those fighters you mentioned.

27 is very young?

Mosley could no longer make 147 7 years ago, but is perfectly willing to fight at 140 (which he skipped entirely when moving up to chase the lucrative DLH fight,) now, at 38 years of age? Puhleeeeeze.

This is a great post. Shane is nothing like those guys. Shane is a humble and respectful guy. RJJ, Ali, and Floyd were in no way shape or form that. lol

People can say what they want but Ali was to the 60s, what Floyd is to now. In terms of personality.

[Deja_Vous]

Shane is far more dangerous than Cotto for Pacquiao

Not at 140 you dumb-ass Coolie.

[PACBOY]

Meh, I don't see what the big deal is. People act as if Cotto came to Paq and said @ 145 which is false.c

Paq ame 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.

HAHAHAHAHA I didnt want to read the rest of this garbage....You think that Manny Pacquiao gives a flying **** about a wbo title that Cotto got from a bum fighter. If he is interested in titles he would pick on Shane. Shane is the top WW with the top recognition. LOL wow

Cotto doesn't want to be great because he doesn't want to drain himself down to 143? How about Pacquiao, he doesn't dare to be great, because he doesn't want to fight Shane/ Cotto at the WW limit. We should atleast respect the fact that Cotto was willing to go down to 145. Again, Shane ain't gonna be himself at 140, I'm sure of it, we shouldn't even have to gamble with that, Pacquiao should man up and fight Shane at 147.

I think you stopped reading because that many words and no pictures is probably too challenging for you. Shane didn't want to fight at 140 till Cotto had the fight in his hands, and its as simple as that. As for how Cotto got the title who gives a ****, if Manny wins the title and the fight you'll be making sure everyone knows and the mention that he won it off a guy who never really "won" the title will be completely brushed off by you.

[Del Coqui]

This is obvious desperation on Mosley's part. He can't make 140 w/ out losing the fight.
I've always thought Shane was dumb and this confirms it.

You're just being an asskisser.

I dont see it any other way............ I guess Jin will get the last laugh......

[Doctor_Tenma]

Some people are already trying to turn this into a legit fight. Pacquiao should just fight Cotto at 145, or is he afraid that, the Cotto that faced Clottey might not show up
