more excuses............

Maybe Pacquiao will learn his lesson now, pick on someone who's confident, lookin' good, doing things. Also, as stated, it's not that Mosley didn't want to fight it's that he couldn't pull the trigger.

Mosley says hes going for a toe 2 toe but after that KD he change his mind

Don't fight slick black fighter anymore. (Mosley, Clottey, Floyd, Alexander)

Fight Mexicans again, atleast they fight.

agreed

The only slick fighter on that list is Floyd. If you think the other guys are slick then you don't know boxing. But i'm guessing you just said that cause they're black huh? Guess they are all the same just cause they're black right? SMH, some people's kids man.

doesnt matter if floydie is slick, its just he doesnt hve the balls to fight PAC and engage with PAC; PAC VS. Floydie is another boriing fight, Pac needs a true opponent.. a daredevil

I think boxing should review:

If the opponent simply running away like Mosley, Clottey & De la Hoya..the commisioner should investigate and finalize their future fights. They can't fight in a close circuit like pay preview or HBO. Their fights cannot be declared a major fight until......

Another thing, if baseball, football, NBA, Soccer, baseball and other major sports has camera replay, they should impose in boxing too. Pacquiao non knockdown should be erased to his record upon review.
Why would you put a knockdown to your record even it's ruled out and referee apologized that it's not a knockdown? Bizzare sports.

Come on man, conspiracy theories? I have been watching boxing and Mosley for a long time too but your answers are in your post. Mosley didn't fight back against Floyd and Mora, they were the counterpunchers on the move and Shane tried to bring the fight to them. That's the main reason he was more active. Also, Shane is not a fighter that backs up, circles the ring and counterpunches. He used to be able to counter off pure reflexes but he was never a true counterpuncher. He forced that style on himself and it showed. One thing in common in Shane's past 3 fights was his inability to pull the trigger and his quick reflexes are pretty much gone. Pac was prime for an upset because he didn't use any angles, he looked anxious to bull forward and trade, and didn't have the hand/foot speed he usually does. As a Pac fan that version would eat straights all night from Floyd without landing much of anything while losing a wide UD, and would have gotten stopped mid to late rounds by the version of Shane that stopped Margs. I don't think Pac looked all that good and it showed the matchup was bull**** from the beginning. Oh yeah, that wasn't the first time Clottey clammed up. See Cotto rd 11-12, the second half of the Marg fight and the fact he has never had a high punch output to begin with.

shane has had a history of having difficulties against guys who box and use the ring. Pac was right in Shane's face all night and Mosley did do nothing but back peddled. I'm not buying it man. I watched it and Shane was smiling, hugging and touching gloves with Pac but running and not even fighting. He didn't even have no hunger in his eyes. People said he was done a long time ago and he showed up. He even caught Floyd with two beautiful counters but all of a sudden he is running from Pac? Shane's been hit by bombs his whole career and all of a sudden lil Pac drops him? Pac couldn't even drop Cotto or Margarito that early and he was landing on them more cleanly and clearly. when shane was on the floor, he was not looking hurt at all. First impression I got was to put a remote control in his hand and a TV in front of him. I'm not buying it fam. shane has NEVER ran from no one and always welcomes a fight. Pac's style was supposed to make it atleast a lil explosive. Shane threw it in my opinion. Don't have to agree with it but something was not right about that fight. first Clottey and now Mosley gun shy? Shane may have been past his prime but he wasn't as shot as Oscar was against Pac and Oscar still put up a better fight.

Di is per da people, da pans of boxing...Manny is a nice guy and all but he choose Mosley as an opponent only to out do Mayweather when it was apparent Mosley was way past it to the world of boxing. Mosley only showed up for a pay cheque. Well, the event failed miserably and he has nobody to blame but himself.

[GRUSTLER]

Clottey, Margs and Mosely are not "ordinary" opponents. Mosley is a future HOF. Granted he's not what he was but I, and many others, was looking forward to this fight.

I don't think Pac would have beaten a younger Mosley - but he shut out this version. Give Pac some credit. At least he's fighting.

I would love to see him fight Bradley at Jnr Welterweight. 2 yrs ago Bradley didn't have the experience to take on Pac. Now he does.

None of them fighters did anything impressive before they fought Pac. They were all coming off losses or bad performances.

Fighting Mosley was the promoter's decision, just like what Manny kept on telling the people...the fighter is just out there to do his job. It is a big risk to take to promise a fighter 20 million dollars if the promoter is not sure about the volume of tickets that the buying public would be willing to spend on. In Mosley, Arum saw a good number of followers and a huge number from Manny Pacquiao's group. That is the main reason how the match-up happened. Supply and demand...these are two main factors to consider in business.

What can you do? Learn how to cut the ****ing ring off. It's called Boxing 101. How many fighters have you ever seen back in Tyson's prime engage Tyson? He had to chase people down the whole.****ing.time. And he always caught them and laid them the **** out. Terrible fight; even terrible fighter. Learn to box.

Shane Mosley took the envelope from Bob Arum "Pulp Fiction" style and didn't tell Manny. Shane had many opportunities to land on Pac with combinations and he mostly hesistated or threw around him. Looked like Shane was instructed not to hurt Pacquiao. It's strange that Clottey and Mosley both clammed up in the ring? Makes you think that they really had the goods to win and bob didn't want any mistakes happening. Pac fans will say that I am hating but after watching that fight and Mosley performance you have to question what really went down. Even at 39, Mosley could have done better than that. I wouldn't be surprised if Bernard Hopkins smacked Mosley. He totally sold out to make Pac look great. I have been watching boxing for a long time and Mosley career as well and he fought back more against Floyd and Mora than he did against Pac and Pac wasn't even moving or using defense, which would have made Shane landing a punch more easier. Arum gave Shane the instructions "Make it look like your scared of Manny and get knocked down in the 3rd like the video game fight simulation" Vasquez Jr/Jorge Arce was a waaay better fight.

You're the dumbest poster in BS!!!

:If you have nothing good to say better shut the F"uC"k Up!!!

Manny is supposed to be paying Arum. Plenty of times Arum said that Pac makes the final decisions.
