[ADP02]

Mosley is too dangerous for Marquez.

Marquez above 135 has not proven anything. What makes people think he can win is not using logic ....

[esl_4_u]

Marquez isn't that hard to hit,he is ineffective above 135!!For him to fight Mosley,it would be at welterweight,Marquez has nothing there!!He has been dropped by lightweights & smaller!!For him to beat Mosley,he'd have to box 12 rounds without taking a right hand,give Mosley some respect,there is no way Marquez of all people avoids a right hand for 12 rounds.

You are absolutely right. People can't keep their personal biases out of this discussion. If you are pure boxing fan and really know the sport of boxing outside being a coach potato fan...then you could never assume that JMM could Mosley. Mosley just fought a competitive fight against a middleweight in Mora. Mora was a middleweight at fight night and Mosley fought him competitively at his age. Not mention the other times when he fought really big guys like Vargas in their first fight. You guys just don't know boxing...Mosley would KO Marquez and do it very fast. Marquez doesn't have very good boxing skills. He is a warrior who throws a lot of punches and he doesn't good defense either. He doesn't move his head and throw wide shots which are telegraphed and easy to slip and punch straight down the pipe against. You guys are trippin

[PacquiaoATG]

Mosley was asked what he says to the detractors of this fight.

"I would just ask them one question," he said. "If me and Juan Manuel Marquez fought, who do they think would win? That is the question I have."

Pacquiao and Mosley will be at welterweight, which is 147 pounds.

Marquez defended his lightweight championship with a ninth-round TKO of Michael Katsidis on Nov. 27. Marquez weighed 134 pounds - one under the limit.

Marquez has fought just once over lightweight, and that was when he weighed 142 for a fight against Mayweather and lost by nine, 11 and 13 points; Mosley lost to Mayweather by eight, 10and 10 points.

He hurt Mayweather, Marquez was decked by Mayweather.

If Mosley and the 37-year-old Marquez fought at welterweight, Mosley would probably win because he is just too big and strong for Marquez. But this is not about what would happen between Marquez and Mosley. It's about what could happen in a third fight between Marquez and Pacquiao, one that would have to take place at welterweight. Mosley gave a hint.

"He (Marquez) got dropped by Katsidis (in the third round) and Katsidis is not the biggest puncher in the world," Mosley said. "Marquez got dropped by a lightweight."

Arum put his own spin on that.

"As good a fighter as Juan Manuel Marquez is, they are in two different weight classes," Arum said of Pacquiao and Marquez. "I saw both of the first fights they had and the bigger, stronger Pacquiao now would annihilate Marquez."

Pacquiao and Marquez fought in 2004 and 2008 at featherweight (126 pounds) and super featherweight (130), respectively.

Mosley was then asked to convince fans he has a chance to beat the 32-year-old Pacquiao. He pointed to Pacquiao's fight in November against Antonio Margarito. Pacquiao pounded Margarito over 12 rounds, but also absorbed some punishment and admitted he was hurt at one point by a body punch.

"I say my punching power is always going to give me a chance," Mosley said. "The last time I checked, I have pretty good speed. I'm not quite as slow as Margarito and I think I hit a little bit harder than Margarito."

Mosley was laughing because he has much better hand speed than Margarito, who was stopped by Mosley in the ninth round in January 2009.

"I think that makes it more of a scary fight for Pacquiao because I can hit and I do have speed," Mosley said. "If Margarito can hit Pacquiao, I can hit Pacquiao."

There is an interesting side story. Recently, De La Hoya said he was chagrined Mosley walked away from his company after all the money he helped him make. De La Hoya's CEO, Richard Schaefer, said he recently made calls to Mosley that were not returned.

Mosley said because of the hostility between Arum's Top Rank Inc. and Golden Boy, he had no choice but to leave if he wanted any chance of getting this fight. He also said he did try to reach out to Schaefer twice along the way, but that Schaefer was not available.

"I needed to go out and make the fight happen," said Mosley, who said a divorce he is going through made getting this fight even more of a financial must. "I'm 39 years old. I have a couple of fights left. I needed to make something happen."
