      pac got his taste of the welterweight division when he fought oscar. he then fought hatton. after hatton it should have been mosley. i'll even give pac a pass on the cotto fight. but why clottey after cotto? that was bull****.

      mosley was ready and available right after pac beat cotto.

      anyway, i don't know if mosley can beat pac at this point. getting outboxed and destroyed on the "main stage" by floyd could signal the end of shane mosley.

      had they fought before the floyd fight then i would have called that a 50/50 fight.

        Speaking strictly for myself.

        Cotto didn't box the ish out of anything.

        Shane and Cotto both landed the exact same number of punches. Shane landed more power punches, Cotto landed more jabs.

        It was a competitive fight that Cotto won.

        I could rationalize Manny P fighting Shane or Cotto in any order he wanted(Even Cotto coming off that loss to Margarito). As long as he fought both of them. Even better if he fought Shane after he beat Margarito, which is definitely when a fight between Manny P and Shane should have happened.

        I can't rationalize him fighting Cotto and then Margarito in that order, and not ever fighting Shane, since Shane up until May 1st hasn't taken any real BAD losses(Though he was in some competitive fights).

          also, why the heck is margarito being seriously considered as an opponent for pacquiao?

          isn't pac supposed to be the greatest fighter in the world? why is he fighting bums like margarito?

          at the very minimum he should be looking at paul williams at 147 if they don't wanna face floyd next.

            dont tell me floyd aint fought old ass and past prime boxers before. let me add fattening up a LW and boxers coming off a major loss for easy victory.
            What fighter did Floyd fight and that fighter was coming off a major loss?

              Yes, i still think Mosley can beat Pac....Pac is not a skill fighter. He's fast, strong and has a good stamina, but not SKILLED!

                like i said before, they both came off a controversial decision where most thought clottey won the fight. Pac put a nail on that coffin to see whos the best.

                Shane was willing to do anything for a big money fight, even coming down to 142 (not good at all) and a 60-40 split, sorry but it wasn t 50/50. This is about shane and cotto. And they fought the rightful candidate.

                  ok, so why didn't they fight shane at 142? lol. i mean, what more can i say? they wouldn't even fight a 38 year old shane at 142.

                    I don't know.

                    I could have accepted Manny P going against either

                    Cotto-Shane in that order.
                    or

                    Margarito-Shane in that order.

                    Essentially its.

                    Cotto-(HUGE EMPTY SPACE WHERE MOSLEY SHOULD BE)- Margarito(If he does indeed fight Margarito).

                    I can't rationalize him not fighting Mosley before Floyd got to him. Money reasons? That couldn't be it since he just fought Clottey, and whether or not the guy is coming off a loss doesn't seem to be a factor with him. Shane might not be a big huge draw, but at the least he's a name on Pacquiao's resume.
