Shane mosley: "pacquiao is a real welterweight...i'll fight him in april"

[Bernie Madoff]

Im a fan of Mosley and Floyd..

But fight wise i want to see Mosley and Pac what an absolute war!! Mosley doesn't run like Cotto and loves to brawl/Same with pac.. Make it happen

You would rather give up 3-4 months of excitement for 36 minutes of (maybe) more punching?

I remember how everybody said that Pac-Cotto would be a better fight than Pac-Floyd.

Guess what? Floyd would have been MUCH more competitive.

[MANGLER]

It'll happen is SSM beats Berto.

[Burner]

Now this is what I'm talking about. People need to realize that Mosley-Pacquiao is for the real championship and Mayweather-Pacquiao is just for a spot in history books. Both are big fights, but I think a Mosley-Pacquiao fight would be more exciting. I just wish that Pacquiao was willing to fight both of these guys at 147 like we know he's capable of. That is turning me against him a little bit.

Pac vs. Mayweather is the biggest fight in the world.

Im not interested in seeing Pac aginst a 40 year old Shane Mosley.

Has Pacquiao insinuated that he would not fight them at 147?

I think that Welterweight Title fights should be at the 147 weight limit, give Manny the Cotto one for free, but he clearly can make and fight at 147 with no problems.

I would like to see Mosley get the winner of Floyd/Pac, and the chance to go out as a legend.

I'd rather see Mosley and Pacquiao fight first and then Floyd can fight the winner. Both of them are considered to be Floyd's biggest challenges, so let's see which guy poses the biggest challenge.

Pac vs. Mayweather is the biggest fight in the world.

He's 38. Not 40.

[Glamour Puss]

Packy/Mosley is the much better fight.

Packy/Floyd will be the bigger event, but the fight will suck in comparison.

BT: Okay, so tell me, what's the bigger fight, Mosley vs. Mayweather or Mosley vs. Pacquiao?

SM: Okay, the most exciting fight is going to be me and Pacquiao.

BT: (Laughing) That was going to be my next question, the most exciting fight.

SM: The most exciting fight will be me and Manny. The most technical fight will be me and Mayweather. I'd have to be technical because I have to figure out ways of catching him in traps. I have to figure out ways of putting him in different traps so I can knock him out because I don't like to just go the distance and box back and forth. So I have to figure out how I'm going to put him in a trap. I gotta box him a little bit because Mayweather likes people to chase him so he can sit back and counter.

So basically Shane, you want to fight & beat Manny before Mayweather does?...Thats all he is saying is that he wants to be the first guy to knock off Manny....he says it in the 1st part of this interview....

"If you want a technical fight with Mayweather boxing, moving & counterpunching then you want Pacquiao & Mayweather, Mayweather isnt coming in with his chin out like all of the rest of them"..

then he says ....

"I think its going to be a problem for Manny to fight Mayweather or get inside to fight because Mayweather is a pure boxer/ counterpuncher & Mayweather wont stand toe-to-toe"...

That to me looks like he is saying...."F U C K!!!! ...Mayweather is going to outbox Pacquiao with no problems and collect a big check"

[Blue Heffner]

Mayweather and Mosely >>>> Pacquiao

Is Mosley too much risk, too little reward for Manny?

I mean a win over shane is big for us hardcore fans, but the casuals probably won't care, plus the haters will just say Shane is old.

Figure in that it's a 50-50 fight anyway, I don't see it happening.

Agreed with this. And Mosley really respects what he does which i think makes Mosley more dangerous to Pacquiao whereas Floyd dubs him One Dimensional.

They want Pac to fight between March to May, depending on who he fights, i dont know if we will see Mosley fight him either way due to time, im sure Roach will want plenty of time to figure out Mosley unless they can do a quick deal after the Berto fight and Mosley/Pac for May....hmm but Berto will be no easy fight, so thats something to look forward to anyways.

But nice interview with Mosley there, great insight.

[Jexy55]

I dont think Floyd/Pac will happen anyways, so for us fans, i guess its a win-win really whomever Pac fights lol. You got either the biggest event vs. the most exciting fight.
