Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather is Unreachable; Mosley Over Marquez

[check hook]

A simple question: why would Arum want to fight Mosley now and not after Manny had beaten Hatton and was looking for the top welterweight opponent?

Cotto is the third biggest PPV draw in the sport.....that's why. This is a business.

[LeadUppercut]

That's right Bob.

Nobody cares about ability, just the lowest common denominator. At this rate, you might as well have him fight Sugar Ray Robinson's corpse since everyone knows who he is.

This is getting out of hand. He basically just admitted Packy is a fraud.

That is exactly what he just did, but then again, we all know Margarito was Manny's last opponent, so.....

Well lookieeee here. We got Bob "I care more about money than my son" Arum and Freddie The Joke Coach Roach who always looks for advantages because even though his fighter is facing beaten men with the perfect style to make him look good, he has no confidence in him.

I feel bad for Manny's fans. It's obvious Bob Arum is a joke. Freddie Roach is a joke. Manny Pacquiao is a fraud. This guy used to be the "People's champion" back in the early 00s. Now he's nothing but a fraud. Kellerman asks him if he wants a fight with Floyd, "TALK TO MY PROMOTER" Marquez calls him out several times and people are wanting this fight, yet Pacquiao says it's a fight no one wants to see. Yet somehow Mosley is.

Team Pacquiao is full of frauds. They will never take a fight that will be a possible threat to their champion. EVER. NEVER EVER. How can this guy be an all time great? He's basically this generations Rocky Marciano.

Heres my list in order...

1.Floyd-Not Likely
2.Martinez-Not Likely
3.Andre Berto- no real excuse to not make it
4.Marquez- No real excuse to not make it
5.Bradley- no real excuse to not make it
and a distant #6 is shane but he may not even be that high on my list of opponents for manny to fight.

Bob needs to stop ****in around. NOBODY wants to see Mosley vs Pac. just leave that **** alone Bob

i agree with this

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Pac should fight May and nobody else.

[UL1210]

I'm starting to get sick of both manny and floyd. I think they're both at fault. Manny needs to step the f$ck up. HE always says he fights for the fans and not for money. Tell Bob nobody wants to see a mosley fight

[big_james10]

I guess it is just a coincidence that Mosley has looked terrible in his last two fights while Marquez has looked excellent in his last two fights. I guess it is also just a coincidence that Mosley couldn't draw well enough to get a Pac fight after he KO'd Margarito, but now he is a superstar.

[Rolaz]

Instead of debating who the next ooponent of Money Pacquiao,

their ought to be an elimination bouts between those aching to fight Pacman:

1. Have Mosley fights Berto or Martinez;

2. Marquez fights Alexander or Bradley;

Let the winners fight each other and the one who wins,
fight Pacman!

or,

Winner #1 fights Pacman in mid 2011;

and Winner #2 fights Pacman at the yearend 2011!

[Iceta Lives]

To be truthfully honest with you I don't even think Pacquiao would fight Mayweather if Floyd offered him a reasonable challenge and called Pacquiao's bluff right now. Arum just wants Pacquaio to fight everybody that's recycled. Mayweather is to blame for the fight not happening and I won't deny that and all. But I really do think if he came back and called Pacquiao and Arum's bluff Arum and Manny would come up with an excuse not to make the fight. Because as it stands, I don't think either guy wants to give the boxing fans what they want. Shame on both Mayweather and Pacquiao.

Am i the only one who would prefer Mosley at 147 over JMM at 147???

Seems kind of silly for Juan to fight Manny at 147. I think JMM will be effective at 140. So that fight should be a 140 pound fight. Manny can still make that.....but at 147.....meh.......i'd rather see SSM and Manny get it on.

Shane still has concussive power. Even at this late stage if he "shows up" he is a big threat. Forget the Mora fight....Shane is ineffective at 154. Always has been. Also he likes fighters who come to him and trade. Manny will do this at some stage. Manny can't fight backing up. It's a good fight.
