Comments Thread For: Merchant: Mosley The Most Dangerous Choice For Pacquiao

[Elfysdemize2212]

Really..?

I think the most dangerous opponent for pacquiao was cotto.. and he layed waste to him... Mosley lost horribly against mayweather... he hurt mayweather but that was it.... he just hurt him.. So pacquiao is going to lay waste against mosley

[hitking]

you're dumb. you can use the same argument for mosley: if mosley is so garbage at WW, why not just kick his ass and get him outta the way?

the truth is, neither jmm nor mosley are good fights for pac. the only viable and good fight for pac is wifebeater, but wifebeater is too much of a coward to fight pac.

berto is better than both jmm or mosley, but he can't sell flies to *****.

Mosley did get his ass kicked at welter by the "coward." But, you were too busy talking about how old Mosley was in those days. My, how times have changed. Mosley wasn't any more competitive with Mayweather than JMM was. So exactly how is he so viable and JMM is garbage, Pacwh*re?

read the article... merchant said between mosley and jmm, mosley is more dangerous.

1) give a link prior to mosley/mayweather where I said mosley was old. if not, then STFU

2) never said mosley was more viable than jmm, so STFU. as is, both fights suck.

3) wifebeater knows he'll get beat up by pac, hence the extended vacation

[WESS]

1) JMM must prove he can carry the weight above 135 lbs period. that means he must dominate an elite 140 lbers or convincingly beat a top 10 WW. failure to do so means the fight isn't happening.

2) I'm not justifying the mosley fight. I think it sux. mosley also should prove he's not shot by fighting berto.

I don't think JMM has too. I think JMM "moving up" and Pac "moving down" makes it a great match up. There meeting in the middle so to speak. Makes it fair and displays that neither really has THAT big of an advantage over the other. It's still better than Mosley AT WW.

If we did get Pac vs JMM, Mosley and Berto could have fought with the winner hopefully getting the shot at Pac.

Pac>Berto>Mosley
Pac>JMM AT (140-147)

I just want to see a "fight". I'm afraid Mosley at this point wont make it one. Just as Clottey was a never has been and Margarito being washed up, Mosley is old and shot. It's not a good fight regardless of what Bob or anyone says. Its very disappointing.

"Pac fighting Berto would be something fresh".......

[brooklyngod]

well its his opinion and i respect it but if i agree with it thats another story. at the end manny picked shane and it is what it is

[FlacoExplosivo]

Mosley would murk JMM. between the 2 mosley is the tougher fight. JMM has yet to prove he can carry the weight above 135 lbs.

mosley/berto is a 50/50 fight, so either guy is ok, but I prefer pac to fight berto over mosley. however berto can't draw flies to *****, so I can understand why they picked mosley even though I don't like that fight.

It's Pac vs Marquez NOT Marquez vs Mosley. that's totally irrellevant to Pac vs Marquez. if you know anything about boxing i don't need to explain that, just remember styles and fighters make fights.

If you know boxing you know about Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, and Iran Barkley.

-Hearns lost twice to Barkley, one by KO

-Hearns beat Duran and knocked him the f**k out... does that mean Barkley would have beat Duran b/c he could beat Hearns and Duran couldn't? ...NOPE!

-Duran beat Barkley in the fight of the year.

this goes to show you can't compare Marquez vs Mosley to see how Marquez will do against Pac cuz we are talking Marquez vs Pac. And if Marquez were to lose to Mosley that doesn't mean b/c he does that he'll lose to Pac only b/c Pac can beat Mosley. Pac is smaller than mosley and has a much different style. two totally different fights, flawed logic.

in my eyes and the eyes of many fans JMM vs Pac should have happened at 140lbs, it would've made the most money and answered all critics questions and would have been a respected legit win for either guy. Mosley vs Pac will not be seen as a legit win for Pac if he does win which most likely he will win.

And Pac vs Berto regardless of all the hate people have towards Berto would have been a legit respectable win especially if Pac is looking unify the division. And they could have sold Berto, they can sell clottey and margarito they can easily sell Berto. Bob Arum and top rank are good at promoting fights, NOT making good fights, but they promote and that is all that is needed in order for people to buy a Pac vs Berto fight. but i do agree with you i would have liked Berto. What's done is done but Pac will be criticized for his constant cherry-picking AND all the BS rubbish talk coming from him and his people. I respect Pac's skills not his opposition selection

1. I think you actually liked the Mayweather vs Mosley match up.

2. You're right.

3. I don't believe you.

[Blue Heffner]

Merchant always has been a Pac nuthugger. Pac does no wrong in his eyes. He clowned Mosley when he was getting beat up by May now he's dangerous....please.

This fight is really exposing a lot of people, no one specifically, just fans. When Mayweather was scheduled to fight Mosley, Mosley was depicted as even more dangerous than Pacquiao, by several media sources and even by the Mayweathers (check interviews during that time). As soon as Mosley lost he became "old" (which is the ******est thing ever, cuz 38 wasn't young in the first place). One year later, a 39 year old Shane will step in the ring with Pacquiao, and all of a sudden the tables are turned, some say he's not dangerous and he's old, and other say he's old but still dangerous/not coming off a 15 month layoff. This fight doesn't make either fan base look any good.
This includes me, I've thought Shane should hang em up, but how can I say that when he faced a defensive wizard in Floyd Mayweather Jr....that was completely unfair of me, and unfortunately way too premature of an assessment....continuing, Mora doesn't display the same defensiveness that Floyd does but his movement troubled Shane, if anybody thinks Pacquiao is a defensive first fighter, well, I ask, you rethink your answer.

I've rejected this fight not b/c Shane is old. I've stressed it before the Mayweather fight, after the Mayweather fight and I'll say it again, Shane isn't young, but he is a legitimate welterweight, with good pop, veteran smarts, well developed, all in all dangerous for anybody, but **** No! I don't wanna see this fight ONLY b/c of Shane's performances in his past two bouts. With that said, I still expect this fight to be a lot better than some would like to depict it....so **** it, it's almost signed, that's it, no point in *****ing about it any longer...
