I agree with most of your points made here, v.gd vid. I can see n understand why most ppl are against the fight made but i'm not one of them. SSM deserve his shot at Pac just like JMM, Bradley, Berto, not in any particular order at this juncture. I gave all of them equal respect in their ability, in their own capacity as legit to fight Pac at present. I'm not going to argue who should come first bcuz it's not going to be fair to the other.. Peace n Cheers!

@miktoh - That's pretty how much I see it too. There should'nt have to be any particular order these guys fight Pac just so long as they ultimately get a shot. Floyd fought Gatti to win one of his world titles and Gatti had already been KO'd several times. Not long after that, he fought Judah straight after Judah lost to Baldomir. Also, Mosley had lost to Cotto only 2 fights before he fought Floyd. I'm not making excuses for Pac but he is no worse than Floyd with regard to his recent choices.

Well done Jose...but I disagree. Mosley is 39 and way out of his prime. I bet mayweather and Pacquiao will be retired before they reach 39. This is just a money fight for Pacquiao. Pacquiao is simply cashing in on old mosley's name and Mosley needs the money after the divorce. Mosley has a punchers chance and thats it, because Pac speed and movement and pace will be too much for Mosley to handle at this age. After losing to may and mora there is not much credibility defeating mosley . Peace !!

@indorican1 - Good points man and I do agree with you for the most part. I did mention that Pac is'nt facing the Mosley of old. I'm looking forward to seeing who Pac will fight after Mosley though.

pacquiao should not fight another black african american boxer...they are the most BORING fighters.

@BlackTheBerry keep hoping...

[hagiev1]

to BLACKTHEBERRY: you're dreaming of your Gayweather? bring back the hype to gayweather? heheheheheh. why? he's not in the lime light already? so you mean you want pacman to lost so as to bring back the light to your girl friend floyd? why? your lady floyd cant beat pacman that's why you're praying pacman will lost to mosley? what a nice tactics.

[hagiev1]

@indorican1 so you mean pacman is just after the money and floyd not. gayweather made a good decision in fighting mosley because mosley is a tough opponent for gayweather but a garbage for pacman? that's why gayweather has good fights than pacman? WTF.

[tomagotchii]

yeah that gayweather and mosely fight was all planned out... you know mosely could have taken gay out easily.. it was all about the money..

[Alparkatek631]

Your logic was off in that the Vernon Forrest fight was years prior to Mayweather. Pac had an easy warm up prior to Pac but his chin was definitely affected by the previous KO.

Mosley is old ,slower, and a bit punch drunk! years ago Mosley would have destroyed Pacquiao!

 For Pacquiao to get real credit he needs to prove he is not on Steroids!

Mosley's going to have to be able to really turn back the clock for this one
