Comments Thread For: Merchant: Mosley The Most Dangerous Choice For Pacquiao

[WESS]

clottey, margarito and mosley are all proven WWs.

JMM has yet to prove he can hang above 135 lbs. berto is busy fighting scrubs and 140 lbsers.

Has beens yes,

I never said anything about JMM AT WW.

I have said that Pac vs JMM III should be at JWW. Pac who hasnt ever weiged above 147 (WW LIMIT) can still make the JWW limit as he just weighed 144 for his JMW vacantly handed (plaster free) title.

If he doesn't want to fight at JWW, fine I have no problem. Then fight the younger undefeated WBC WW Champion in Berto (a fighter Floyd didn't just embarrass). Pac IMO beats JMM AT 140 (let alone 147), Berto AT WW and Mosley AT WW. Its about making the best matchups and Pac vs JMM III AT JWW IMO would be a GREAT fight. So much hype and it would sell more than the other two (May 7th c'mon). Berto AT 147 would be a great fight as its something we haven't seen Pac do in a long time, fight an undefeated CHAMPION without any "catchweights" any BS... just WW Champion vs WW Champion to unify titles.

It's a start when attempting to "clean out" the WW division. Nobody can justify Pac fighting Mosley now, especially when some "fans" that hate Floyd so badly they attempted to degrade and bash Floyd for fighting the then #1 WW Champion in Mosley. YET promote this garbage? Blows my mind.

Again Pac beats all the names Arum "selected" for Pac. I just want to see the best match ups as a fan of the sport.

Actually historically, Merchant has always shitted on bad fights, HBO or not... Even while hes broadcasting them.

Not sure what hes thinking here, though.

I it is more cuz he is a fan of both fighters. So he has a little biased here.

He was a fan of Mosley during the LW days. And, against Mayorga he had that Shane Mosley, I love you line.

He is also a big Pac fan from when Pac was in the lower weights.

That is why I think he likes this fight. But, who knows....

[LeadUppercut]

I hear ya'man. Its quite obvious what they've been doing. All you can do is shake your head and laugh, while Bob and Manny get rich steeling money from *******s.

It's not theft.

It's more like a social club fund, where Bob gets to keep the money

[Mud]

wow with Pac "selecting" to fight this "too good" and "dangerous" Mosley, EVERYONE's damned near saying Mayweather beat an ATG May 1st 2010.

We can't have that now can we? lol

One way of looking at it is just because a fighter dominates another, doesnt mean everyone can dominate them.


Different styles = different outcomes.

IMO Shane is dangerous for Pac, but he doesnt deserve the shot over JMM. Plus Berto is young and undefeated.

What did manny do at junior middle before he won that title? For that matter what did margarito do? So I get it, Manny's cool when he steps up, but marquez needs to prove it...................

I could say about manny what you said about berto.........except it would be weight drained losers

[Pacquiao'd]

and the HBO spin machine starts. didnt merchant just say something about manny killing shane?

[Carpe Diem]

Keep riding it, Larry..

No matter how much Pacwh*re logic is applied, there is no excuse for Pac's recent choice of opponents. If he were Saul Alvarez, I'd be stoked about the Clottey, Margarito, Mosley trio. But, since he's the so-called P4P King and not an up-n-coming prospect, the trio is pathetic, especially considering that all were coming off loses when he fougth them. According to Pacwh*re logic, there's no need to even declare a winner and loser at the end of fights. We should just let fighters beat the **** outta each other until one is dead. And then, Pac fights the one that's dead and he'll be declared the greatest ever. The way he's going, I'm sure Edwin Valero is on a short list for his next fight.

[Cash Cow]

yeah, shane is so dangerous that he fought to a draw with a D class fighter sergio mora. larry merchant needs to clean his loop.

Merchant was shytting all over Mosley this year during the Mayweather-Mosley fight....now all of a sudden Mosley is youthful and dangerous?

Anybody stepping in the ring with someone else looking to hit you is considered "dangerous". Its just as you get older, its less and less likely.

Berto IS just as dangerous. In fact he's so dangerous he's the WBC undefeated WW Champion that's coming off a KO victory. That's more deserving than Clottey, Margarito and Mosley combined.

The fact that Berto is young will make it interesting. We ALL know after the first few rounds of Mosley looking for a shot that isn't there he will fade. He's 40 years old and hasn't won a fight in 2 years. Pac will fight for 24 rounds, we know Mosley wont be "dangerous" for more than 3 rounds. But Mosley being "Dangerous"? Yes, every time anyone steps in the ring to "fight" it is dangerous. So yeah, Mosley as a fighter throwing punches is dangerous.
