Floyd Mayweather Should Fight Shane Mosley, Says Arum

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

Manny Pacquiao is the more respected fighter,

I know it hurts because respect is what Floyd and his fans covet most,


but it shall set you free.

RESPECT doesnt pay bills. and has no significance at the negotiating table. plz kill that noise.

but we all know the real reason he isnt letting him fight pacq IF he wins.

just because shane ko'd margacheato does'nt make him the #1 welterweight and here's why. if you're number 1 then why is he trying to fight the main 3, cotto ,pac, and mayweather and accept the smaller purse too. to me thats not being #1. the real mega fight is cotto vs mayweather.

Mosley beat Cotto in a close fight when I watched it. And KOing Margarito > decisioning JMM.

Mosley is the #1 dude. Come on bro you do have knowledge right? And, are you saying that Cotto-Floyd is the real mega fight not Pac-Mayweather?

iceta i'm in agreement with you on the mosley cotto outcome but to come back from a 2 yr layoff and do that to marquez means something.although it was a majority decision and weight difference the skills paid the bills. so msley can stay on the outside lookin in.

jrosales13 if oscarwas passed his prime when mayweather whooped his ass then you can put oscar back in his prime because when they fought de la hoya had picked the ringsize,gloves,weight,judges,money,promotion,fans ,and fereree and still got his ass whooped. primely

Dude I don't want to be insulting but come on bro use your brain. All that don't matter cuz Oscar was old, he was passed his prime, he was not the same Oscar you can not possibly believe that. Plus he was a part time fighter full time promoter. I know you are a Floyd fan but be real.

Personally, I bought the fight because of JMM not Floyd. JMM typically produces exciting fights and 90% reasony why I bought the fight. I acknowledge Floyd's talent and hes an exceptional fighter. Im just not a fan of his and would never buy one of his fights if his opponent didnt intrest me. Arum is right about one thing and that is, Mosely and Mayweather need to happen.

Dude how old are you? How long have you been watching boxing? And, who are your favorite fighters of all time?

[edgarg]

Mosley was the champ, Forrest beat him, Mayorga over Forrest, Spinks over Mayorga, Judah over Spinks, Baldomir over Judah, Floyd over Baldomir. There is no linear champion at this time. (Lineal and Linear come from the same root word and similar meaning).

In addition, you tried to use wikipedia to prove a point. You lose.

Sorry old boy, but "Linear" and "Lineal;" used interchangeably by boxing writers are cNOT the same thing.

Linear refers to straight lines, like distance from one place to the other (as the crow flies) or linear equation in Algebra. There is, I believe an ancient language, called Lineasr B, something to do with ancient Greek insctiptions, deciphered only about 60-70 years ago. I'm just guessing now, but it may have been a fellow named Michael Ventris.

The word "lineal" is generally only used to denote descent from ancestry. Or in the case of boxing, the handing on of the REAL title from one to the other, either his conqueror or his successor. Royal succession used the same word. lineal.

why does pacquiao get credit for the oscar win?? Oscar was even older when he fought pacquiao and weight drained
