Comments Thread For: Mosley To Target Sergio Martinez, Eyes Pacquiao at 160

[GoogleMe]

At 160, Martinez will do worse damage to Mosley then Floyd did. He's really a bad matchup.

"Sugar" Shane Mosley has a plan to bring Manny Pacquiao to the table. But first, Mosley returns on September 18 on HBO pay-per-view against fellow former champion Sergio Mora. The Staples Center event will revolve around the celebration of Mexican Independece Day. [Click Here To Read More]

Martinez made Mosley an offer last month to fight him and he offered Mosley the greater share of the purse. And Mosley turned him down. Now its in his future plans? He is all talk.

Really ? if so then Mosley ducked Martinez , but it is forgivable given his age
and last performance against a smaller man (than Martinez especially) .

Dear gawd, this is some crazy talk. :durr1:



... But I kinda like it.

Oh that was just a name drop, nothing at all worth talking about

But now we are gonna hear Pac is ducking Mosley at 160

Here we go first Mosley wants 40 % against Pacquiao and now he wants Pacquiao at 160!

That was just a name drop by Mosley and nothing at all worth reporting

But now we are gonna hear how Pac is ducking MOsley at 160

Martinez will destroy Mosley at this point.

160 my ass I'll be the first to say it will be a catch weight of 154.5 for the lineal title provided Mosley got past Martinez (probably not). Paul Williams career is about to be up in smoke, guy turns down Martinez, begs to fight Mosley the Pac. When is Williams going to decide to stop playing games and just fight at Middleweight where he looked the most impressive?

Pacquaio @ 160 never! He couldnt

Crazy talk indeed , I don't like it and don't understand it , first let Pacquiao get a title at 154 , only then consider the 154.5 catchweight with him for the lineal MW crown !
Mosley offered to fight Pac at 142/141 and then 140 , now it turned to 160 ?
When did Williams turn down Martinez ?
I doubt that Martinez can destroy Mosley even at this point.

would it really be a 9th world championship if there is a catchweight?

i mean i dont agree it would be.

i love shane, but both cant weigh 152 for a middleweight title

i like pac, he puts on great fights, but how can floyd sit back and let him get

all this praise and titles in HIS country.

floyd needs to step up and fight pacman.

and god bless mosley for still fighting tough competition.

mora is barely a name, but his height and reach, along with bigger frame will be challenging for shane at this stage in his career.

.... mosley maybe good for 2 fights more at the most but he maybe nuts at this point in time to face or much more challenge pacquaio at 160 .... he had his chances & moments it's time to move on .... to retirement ....

i dont know about that, martinez is solid, but he does stay in the pocket when throwing combos and takes shots.

slow pavlik landed a lot of punches and so did a slower than mosley pwill

martinezs footwork and agility would most likely be a problem for shane at this stage.

although a very interesting matchup.

Damn you don't even want to wait to see how he looks in his next fight??There where alot of things in that last fight that could be use as an excuse(all tho Shane won't use umm)wait to see how he looks before writing him off.I remember alot of people writing him off before the Marga's fight and we seen how that went.

i agree. 38 years old, inactive for 18 months, back to back training camps add a fallout fight in the middle, against the best boxer this decade and you have some good reasons shane looked bad from round 4 and up.

my only concern was how bad he was gasping from round 6 and up. the endurance just was not there for some reason.

lets see how he looks against mora whos length, height and bigger frame will be challenging in its own right.

i dont agree with a ppv for this fight tho. hbo would have been more sufficient

Hatton fatigued against Floyd.
Zab fatigued against Floyd
Baldomir fatigued against Floyd


Marquez didn't, really.

What happens is that you get mentally tired very quickly. There's no way that Shane getting tired in 5-6 rounds was a physical thing. He was sparring regularly. If you asked Shane to run 8 miles on May 1, he would have done it easily.

His punch output was low, and he didn't have to chase Floyd. It was just a technical/mental exhaustion.

You telling me that it was all mental thing when shane got tired in the 2nd round while floyd was all defenseless. Really i would understand that point if shane was tired and frustrated with floyd because he couldnt land ****. But this dude has floyd seriously hurt and got tired punching while floyd was still recovering.

Let's just say Mosley does everything he wants to do and wins a title at 160. I gaurantee Pacquiao turns a middleweight title shot into a jr. welterweight if that. Just as i've started to come around to Pacquiao he starts to pull this catchweight bull**** again. Enough! I refuse to give him credit for winning titles if he doesn't want to do it at the actual weight it is supposed to be fought at. Manny continues to cheapen his accomplishments (which are many and most legitimate) but this will surely break that trend and will no doubt cause historians to point that fact out in the years to come.

I agree but I will buy it and support Shane.The same way Manny and Floyd fans support their fighters.
