Comments Thread For: How Pacquaio vs Mosley Impacts The Rest Of The Sport

[LeadUppercut]

The thing that just nauseates me about this fight is it is gonna get all this coverage from HBO with the 24/7 and given the fact it is just an absolute garbage fight, it's gonna undeservedly overshadow other fights that are a hell of a lot more meaningful like Donaire-Montiel, Bradley-Alexander, Mares-Agbeko, Froch-Johnson. Someone with an objective mind tell me that the quality of a Pacquiao-Mosley fight even comes close to those match ups even if the fighters mentioned in the latter list are less known. And I'd give Andre Ward fighter of the year before I would Pacquiao.

You're not the only one.

Runner-up? OK, Martinez is a lock for Fighter of the Year, so not giving away anything there. But as we're still collecting data for all of the other Boxingscene awards and for honorable mentions, I can honestly tell you that Pacquiao won't even make our Top 5 this year. In fact, I don't even recall seeing his name mentioned once in any of the submitted ballots so far.

Chups you seem to be a Manny nut-hugging fan. Can you please justify this fight agaisnt Shane Mosley?

The fight is a complete joke...but please justify why it is taking place.

Yup it's a joke I agree with you. I just disagreed wit that one sentence that poster made that Pac had an easy 2010.

Yet we expect Arum to put Pac in the ring with Mayweather when and if he returns?

He wont even put him in the ring with JMM or Berto not to mention a legit JMW.

No we get a 40 year old loser, who's not "promoted" by GBP anymore.... yet lets blame Mayweather... that makes sense, since Bob has stated numerous times that he couldn't care any less if the fight got made. Just as he couldn't care any less about putting Pac in with legit LW/JWW Champion JMM or WW Champion Berto or even ANY legit JMW.....

We know who the real "DUCKING" cowards are and Mayweather has nothing to do with it as he already beat this old, washed up man already..... remember folks???? Remember? Remember just a short few months ago? lol no? Such short memory spans.....

Mosley was a legit fight for Pac before the Mayweather and Mora fights. Even though Mosley had been inactive since he beat down Margarito, he was the #1 welter and no one could say for sure that he had loss anything. Mosley went to Roach’s gym to plead for the fight. He was told that he was not a big enough draw. The money would not justify the risk, so they were fighting Clottey instead. Mosley then loses bad to Mayweather and looks almost as bad gassing out in a draw against Mora. Now we’re being told Mosley is a bigger draw than Marquez?? The entire Mexican nation will buy Marquez/Pac, not to mention the Phillipines and the US ! Arum actually believes we’re morons. Are we not supposed to realize the real reason Mosley gets the fight now is because JMM looked too sharp against Katsides and Berto looked too dangerous starching Hernandez? Then he adds insult to our injury by telling us that Mosley is a real threat to Pac. If Mosley is a threat to Pac, Mayweather is deadly poison. Is this the real reason the Pac/May fight never happened? You can’t have it both ways Arum. It’s been said that in between the lies the truth always comes out. Arum is the Jim Jones of boxing and the Pac fans are still drinking his kool-aid.
