    Pacquiao didn't want anything to do with Mosley. The only reason they even fought Cotto is because he was ruined by Margarito's plaster. They still weren't brave enough, even with a ruined fighter, and required a catch-weight in order to sign the contract.

    Fear is in Pacquiao's blood.

      Freddie Roach himself said in an interview "Shane Mosley was just too good at the time".

              Cotto was coming off a questionable decision over Clottey and Mosley was coming off a dominating knockout over Margarito.

              It's clear who was the better fighter, at the time.

                  my mistake. i was going off that video when roach said he wouldnt drop down.

                    You have an avatar of Pacquiao. How am I supposed to take your opinion, on this matter, seriously?

                    If Pacquiao fought Mosley instead of Cotto, he would have earned more of my respect.

                      If Mosley was the bigger draw then, Pac would have fought him imo.
