Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Has Face Someone With Mosley's Skill

[sigrab jr]

Shane Mosley calls him self half Mexican for a reason. He does not have the style of an African American boxer. Sergio Martinez is closer to having an African American style than Shane Mosley does, who's African American himself.

Weather he still has it or not doesn't matter. Pac has fought some big, tough guys, while going up in weight the past couple of years, so he deserves a "keep busy" fight. It couldn't be any worse than Mayweather picking on Marquez, who was way out of his weight class, and not making weight.

Bob doesn't care what the Hardcore Boxing fans thinks he caters to the Casual Fan who just loves to watch Manny fight no matter who he is fighting they don't know the the sport real well to judge the Competition he is facing so this fight will do big numbers just like the Margarito fight did Pac is must see TV so Bob wins again because the people that love to watch Manny fight will pay the 60 dollars without hesitation and He's gonna say I told you so Watch

Lol these promoters have no shame. Arum was clowning Mosley for almost a year up to about two months ago when Pac needed a fight.

Now all of a sudden Pac has never faced a guy this skilled? I'm pretty sure MAB, Morales, Marquez are as skilled if not more skilled than Mosley. Mosley had better physical tools at one time and now those are fading too. It's a good fight for four rounds at best.

On May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 knockouts) will defend his WBO welterweight belt in an HBO pay per view televised against Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs), even as his WBC junior middleweight belt will not be on the line. Pacquiao's selection of the aging Mosley has drawn criticism from the boxing community, but during a recent interview with FanHouse, Top Rank Promotions' CEO, Bob Arum.

I just cannot stomach that low-life piece of ****, Bob Arum.

That scumbag will be dead soon, and boxing will be better off.

That article was full of lies, blank-faced dirty lies.

" Manny... never has fought a fighter of the ability and the skillset of Mosley "

" Mosley is the epitome of an African American fighter with a style "

" Even though he is a little on in age, he still has that style "

PAC BEAT COTTO WHO BEAT MOSLEY LOL OK ILL STOP

[Shadow boxer 3]

Complete 180 of what Arum said about Shane after he had that draw with Mora. Hilarious. And, no Bob, Mosley doesn't have that "style"...meaning, a slick boxer.

exactly...............

This is pretty much on point. I as a hc boxing fan am not too thrilled about this selection, but I know for sure that all my friends that are casual fans are going to pay to watch Manny in any fight he has. I ll just be over their house to watch it for 5 bucks lol

skills??? What skills exactly... Last time I checked speed and power are not skills. Shane is a brawler. He doesn't have technique. He is easy to hit as he has no head movement. And he doesn't have a punch that he is particularly known for like Cotto's left hook to the body, Manny's straight left hand, Money's straight right hand or check.... nothing. I like watching Shane fight for obvious reasons but to imply that he is some sort of boxing wizard is speaking lies. He is 46(39)-6(0), so he has one more decision victory (7) than he does losses (6), and has been outpointed by solid but unspectacular opposition (Forrest, Wright) for 4 of those losses. Enough Said Bob... Safe to say Shane has been a KO artist for much of his career.

same old

when Cotto: Pacquio never faced someone with Cotto's Power

when Margarito: Pacquiao never faced someone as big as Margarito

Same old
