It would be a great action fight. I'm not sure if Mosley will be the same fighter if he fights at anything below 147, which is what they will probably do if this fight happens.

Re: Why not Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao?

I just think it's hilarious that these much bigger fighters think they are tough by calling out the much smaller Pacman. I know they are just looking for their payday and he's the P4P, but it's still kinda pathetic.

Oh and this fight would just fuel people's argument that Pacquiao only fights old washed up fighters. Pac would make him look old and washed up regardless, especially below 147.

Mosley will not take the fight below 147. I would like to see it, even at 147. It's not like Oscar was able to bully PacMan.

PacMan's career is amazing and he's a great fighter but it's been hyped up by victories against a washed up Oscar and an overrated Hatton. Still it's absolutely mind boggling that he had his first Lightweight fight in June of last year!!

Ummmmm Shane called him out after the Hatton fight. Chavez Jr called him out (which is ****). Back when Pac was smaller but still P4P, the bigger Juan Diaz called him out.

Re: Why not Shane Mosley vs Manny Pacquiao?

Its pretty simple. Arum wants the Mayweather/Pac fight to be in winter 2009. If Manny takes a fight w/ Mosley it would happen in Fall which would push a PBF/Pac fight to 2010.

Also, The second option is a Cotto/Pac fight if Cotto beats Clottey. The Cotto fight is easier to make because they are both repped by Arum.

Your probably aware of this, but Roach made it clear that any fights against Mosley or Cotto would have to be at a catchweight of 142 Lbs. I think that would to hard on both there bodies.

Preciate that. He says he wants to be the guy, not a typical call out.

I heard that but didn't Manny fight at 147?

Yeah, but Cotto, or Mosley at 147 isn't a rail thin dehydrated Oscar. Manny is the P4P, so if these guys want him, that are gonna have to come to him, that being said the only other person that can lay claim to the P4P is PBF. I think that Manny and Roach know that Manny is vulnerable to guys who fight at a true 147. There are good fights for Manny at 140 and like I said if any of the top guys at welterweight want him they better start cutting weight.
