    No Way Any HARDCORE Boxing Fan Can Justify Pac Fighting Mosley or Marquez@ 147

    I say "hardcore" boxing fan because casuals don't give a **** about the specifics of fights. They just want to see a fight. But us hardcore fans, the fans that care about legacy, history, credibility, we know the importance of the fight and what the conditions and aspects are.

    As a Pac fan, but more importantly, as a boxing fan, I'm disappointed that Mosley is a top runner for Pac's next opponent. This is a blatant and obvious cherry pick. This fight is about is money and thats it. Arum can't even give the fans a challenge. Its a big FU to the hardcore fans and a big scam for the casual fans. This is about as disgraceful a con as Marquez/Mayweather was.

    Fighting Marquez @ 147 is just as disgraceful. We all know Mayweather cherry picked the ****ed out Marquez. He wanted Marquez @ 147 initially because he know it was incredibly detrimental to Marquez to fight at that weight.

    I guess the biggest disappointment is that Manny just goes a long with this. I understand that he's accomplished a lot in this sport and no longer needs to prove his position and legacy, but to go from Clottey to Margarito and then Mosley or Marquez @ 147 is just horrible.

    Both Floyd and Pacquiao are hurting the sport at this point.

    I dont know what u guys are talking about but mosley, marquez or berto can beat pac if they got the right game plan. So stop with all these cherry picking comments as if pac is fighting someone off the streets. Im a pacman fan but i'll never underestimate any of his opponents. This is professional boxing anything can happen.

      Pac is in a tough spot he's going to get heat no matter who he fights next unless it's floyd.

      Berto is unknown, never fought anyone good, is untested, and the PPV will probably suck.

      Mosley is old, his last two fights are a loss and a draw "mayweathers leftovers".

      Marquez is up there in age too and he would be well above his best weight class, "mayweathers leftovers".

      Not sure what I would do if I were in Pac's shoes either.

        It's not a big deal, we're used to this type of shit from Pac now.

          oscar wasnt weight drained, cotto wasnt either, hatton wasnt done after the floyd fight and so isnt margarito. Either of these guys can and will still be able to put the beating down. Its just that pac dominated them in a way that nobody ever did so everyone that doesnt like pac is quick to use excuses about them being old or weight drained.

              Finally people start realizing the cherry picking on Pac teams

              Even his own fans are starting to question him

                If you were to look around NSB its the casuals who care more about the specifics than the hardcore fans. Hardcore fans realize that not every fight can be a superfight. That said Im very against Mosley or Marquez, but with Pac being a WW who else is available other than Berto?

                  Its a fine fight and we would have something to talk about because since it was the only notable fight Floyd has fought he have some common opponent to compare and contrast how they did against him.

                  Also who cares what weight Pac fights JMM at? They are both roughly the same size so I don't see how 135, 140, 147, or come as you are puts either fighter at an advantage or disadvantage.

                    Plus Hardcore fans realize that there is no way both fighters can be at their best preferred weights during the fight
