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

[El Chicano]

First you all are hating on the catchweight ****. Now you all are ****ting on Shane for going down to Manny's weight. Especially the Cotto fans, seems they're pissed cuz Shane is willing to do what Miguelito won't: Fight Manny at a weight that is advantageous to the little man. Cotto wants no part of it, understandably, seeing how Manny flattened Ricky and Miguel has no chin. Anyway, Shane is willing and able I'd love to see what he brings to the table at 140. I always thought he looked slow and too muscular at 154, he was very good at 147 and great at 135. If he thinks he can make 140 and be competitive, I'd like to see him do it.

why are cotto`nians are all here in a pac - mosley thread

[zeidrich]

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.

greater risk = greater legacy = great fighter
less risk = ordinary fighter = top 500 ATG

[Sumakwel]

If Mosley wins he will be an automatic P4P since he fights Pac at his own weight class even though Pac had only 1 fight at 140.

If Pacquiao wins, he will be an ATG top 5 IMO. I already rank him top 20.

[HotSizzle]

I cant see mosley making the weight and if he does he would probly be to dehydrated it would be a dlh pac again.

Shane Mosley hasn't fought 135lbs. since 1999...that was 10 yrs ago...is he seriously looking to get put into a coma??? Look at Shane's body...the dude is ripped up and doesn't have much fat to lose...that's dangerous because you will have to lose muscle...think of Roy Jones Junior losing all his muscle from after he beat John Ruiz...look how awful he looked against Tarver and that was him being out of the division for one damn fight...Shane has been out of 135 for 10 yrs. I'm sorry but this fight at 140lbs doesn't look right on paper nor does it sound right for any sane person with half a brain.

No I don't think props are in order, I think a boot to the head is in order for Golden Boy Promotions and Shane.

[Frank Martin]

That's 20 lbs of muscles. Mosley is only losing 7 lbs. still huge risk though.

[The Underboss]

Shane knows he's too old to loose 7 pounds to fight a hungry fighter like Pacquiao.
has this guy gone insane? .

[Mr. Philadel]

Shane knows what he's doin'.......personally, I think he beats Pac all day on any day but I have to admit that 140 will make the fight tougher for Shane
