Boxing – Mosley Willing to Fight Pacquiao at 140
July 17th, 2009
By Manuel Perez: In a sign of how interested World Boxing Association welterweight champion Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KO’s) is in fighting Manny Pacquiao, Shane has challenged Manny to meet him at 140 for Pacquiao’s obscure IBO light welterweight title. Mosley is clearly putting the pressure on Pacquiao, because the Filipino star and his trainer mastermind Freddie Roach has been real big on making fighters melt down in weight to fight at catch weights.
But this is why it seems so strange for Mosley to be taking the reverse course by daring Pacquiao to fight him at not just 142 or 143, which is what Pacquiao and Roach have been dreaming up for Miguel Cotto, but at 140. The move is a bold one by Mosley, and it shows clearly his desperation in getting a fight with Pacquiao. But unfortunately it’s a wasted gesture on Mosley’s part, because Pacquiao and his team want no part of fighting Mosley.
I don’t think it matters a hill of beans what weight that Mosley comes in at, Pacquiao and Roach would still likely prefer the much easier pickings of fighting Cotto, who looks very beatable at this point in his career. Cotto was ripped apart and softened up for Pacquiao by Antonio Margarito last year in July and then Cotto took an additional beating in winning a controversial 12-round split decision against Joshua Clottey recently on June 13th.
I saw the fight several times and the best that I can give Cotto is four rounds. If I were to have mercy on Cotto, I would score it a draw but I’d have to have slept through several of the rounds where Cotto was running all over the ring and doing nothing but bleeding all over the place. Faced with a fight against a dangerous opponent like Mosley, who stopped Margarito in the 9th round in January, and Cotto, who is going through some hard times in his career, it’s painfully obvious who Pacquiao is going to face.
Just looking at Pacquiao’s track record of fighting a shot Oscar De La Hoya, war ravaged Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales and Ricky Hatton, it’s obvious that Pacquiao won’t even be considering taking on Mosley. Forget it, there’s no way Pacquiao would break the mold that he’s set in his career when choosing opponents and suddenly start fighting good fighters for a change.
Mosley can talk until he’s blue in the face about this weight or that weight he’s willing to fight Pacquiao, but it isn’t going to happen. I don’t know why Pacquiao is considered to be the top pound for pound fighter. I’ve lost complete respect for that title now that Pacquiao is mentioned in the same breath.
Here’s the deal: Once Pacquiao finishes off Cotto and sends him along his way, Pacquiao will probably go after another soft touch, someone like Amir Khan or Andre Berto. It won’t be Mosley, so he needs to get that through his head and quit wasting time calling out Pacquiao. This is about finding beatable – read: easy opponents – and fighters like Mosley need not apply. This shouldn’t be news for Mosley, because he’s been calling Pacquiao out for ages now.

I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN KO PACMAN IS MARQEZ..
COTTO WILL RETIRE PACMAN SOONER THAN HE IS EXPECTED, BYE PACMAN & FREDDY ROACH
This guy is so retarded. Pacquiao is a true warrior who tries his best to fight the best in higher weight classes and has done so extremely successfully. Mosley lost to Cotto, and the public want Pacman to fight Cotto not Mosley. So Pacman is giving the fans what they want.
Pacman definitely wants to fight Mayweather, but Mayweather is too pussy and greedy.
your right Dave.
Dave goes on a bit
for value for money and same weight we need marqez.He the only one that can go the twelve rounds with pacman.
Catch weight bollox gonna spoil a potential great fight,if they met each other half way then i reckon mosely by late ko which is why pacman cheatin and making mosely boil down if he wants the fight.Of course mosely doesn’t have to take the deal but we’ll all be paying to sit up 5am again and we’ll all get short changed again
Not at 140…130-135, yes, Marquez will give Pac a great run for his money…I think that Mosley, Mayweather, and Cotto all give Pac a run for his money at 144-147. However, at 140lbs, I don’t think anyone can beat Pac as it would be unhealthy for Cotto and Mosley to go down that far. Even though Mosley’s chasing Pac at 140lbs, I think he would be foolish to go down that low. He’s too busy chasing $$ to think straight.
the only person that can give pacquiao a run for his money is marquez what do yous think?
i think the match shoud go under way because we know who going to win pacquiao
IF Pacquiao does accept the fight with Mosley, Manuela Perez’s next article will start off like this, I guarantee it…”I must say I’m rather disappointed in the so called Pound for Pound champ Manny Pacquiao in agreeing to fight what will undoubtedly be a weight drained past his prime, Sugar Shane Mosley”. – Manuela Perez are just idiots.

you arrogant, ignorant always nonsense and pitiful excuse of a writer. what else could be possibly said about someone who writes with great impunity to discredit manny pacquiao? hopefully one day you could write with an open mind and an un-biased way of thinking towards your favorites. dumbass!!!

Manny, you hate the man because you share the same name, right? Is it because he’s beaten all your favorite boxers? I can understand, I wouldn’t want to rally behind an untested Angulo, a chubby Arreola, or a cheating bastard like Margarito either. As a Mexican-American (assumption) writer/fan, your best bet was Victor Ortiz who looks more like a hurt puppy than a Vicious competitor after getting out-willed by a sloppy Maidana. You’ve written that Pacquiao should fight Maidana, a true junior welterweight. Why, so we can see a one-round blow out? Hatton was a true, undefeated jr. WW and Pacquiao made it a sparring session.
Furthermore, even if Pacquiao fought Mosley and won, you’d be writing this dribble the next day saying that Mosley was too old and Pacquiao made him come allllll the way down to 140 because he’s a coward. A coward that has fought almost every great between 126-147 in the last decade.

Hey Manuel P(aka. Batangeno)! You keep injecting that plaster packing cheater Margarito in your articles, he’ll be lucky if he get’s his license back. Like Marquez will be lucky if he wins over Mayweather Jr. You are obviously fun of losers. But I guess you will keep writing even if all you say is crap, since Pacquiao will not be going anywhere but under your skin. As long as you keep your envy on the Pacman going strong. How many times did the Pacman knock down Marquez? Those punches must be very powerful. Did you know Pacquiao earned over $40 million this year?

Here’s a post I stole from somebody who goes by the name ‘SupremeCourt’ in another forum:
“Mark my words: Manny Pacquiao will not take the bait. He is the product of a PR campaign, a marketing good. This is why I predict he will not take the bold challenge by Mosley.
1-He has NEVER unified a single division
2-He is not the best of the current 140 lbs batch (If you believe this is inaccurate, then show the evidence he is; the burden of proof is on you).
3-He is not the best of the current 147 lbs batch (If you believe this is inaccurate, then show the evidence he is; the burden of proof is on you). Remember, no speculation is admissible!
4- His recent coronation is the result of 2 fights:
a) a win against an old-drained-ODH;
b) R. Hatton, who had been knocked out before and had a “hype machine” of his own.
5- He has always avoided the so called “black fighters”. (Don’t pull the race card trigger, it may not be politically correct to say it, it remains true nonetheless).
Think about this: What would be the status of All-Time-Great Duran if he never faced a Black fighter (Leonard, Hearns? ) There are so many Black fighters in any Division that one can say with high confidence that Manny not encountering them in his path is not accidental.
6-Many believe he lost against JMM twice, and JMM has been chasing since, and for years, Manny has refused to settle the scores.
7- There is not a single universally recognized All-Time-Great who had not unified at least one division in his career.
Again, remember, no speculation, no theories are admissible at Supreme Court.
How then can someone who is not the best player in his team be appointed the most valuable player of the playoff? HELLO? Are they too smart, or we are just too dumb, so as to follow and fall off the cliff like sheeps? 18.07.09 @ 04:45:51″
And here is another by someone who calls himself ‘prdancer’:
“Bias Pacman fans are enjoying this one,,another big name in Mosley will show up totally weight drained ala Oscar, depleted of his energy to face the super protected Pacman. Laughable. Pacman’s greatness above 130lbs will be in question. If Pacman wants to fight big boys at 147lbs, why not fight them at their 147lbs weight class? If Pacman and his team feel safe at 140lbs, then fight the normal 140lbs. Stop calling out the big boys and asking them to handicap themselves. What’s next, Pacman asking BHop to come down to 143lbs? or Klits brother too? Boxing is dying because of these antics. Fans looking elsewhere for real excitment. Peace. 18.07.09 @ 04:59:36″
I see posts like that I sigh, all hope is not lost. LoL. It would be just a matter of time when Pacquiao is exposed for what a true sham he really is. Now, you degenerate Pacnuthuggers should try pulling your head out of his bu##ho!e, maybe, just maybe, you will see the glaring truth — Pacquiao is an overrated, overprotected commodity efficiently being pimped by Arum, the alphabet outfits and the networks. And you, degenerates, are the crack addicts with your whole anatomy shaking and shivering, ever desperate
I love y’all.
to get a whiff of Pacquiao’s fart. Maybe today is a good day to check yourselves into a rehab facility. Or, better yet, into a psych ward.
By the way, it is an honor to be mistaken as the brilliant and brave Manuel Perez. But, I am not him. I am not even worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence with him.
To webmaster/admin: Would I be breaking any rule if I post my email address here? I think it would be fun to give my fellow BoxingNews24 fans an opportunity to communicate with me. I’m sure a lot of them would like to shower me with accolades and compliments in a more “colorful” language that your forum may not allow. LoL.

Manuel, oh sorry, Batangeno! I can quote probably more blogs or even actual articles to put all your comments on the other side of the boxing world (US…no pun intended) but the bottom line is you are supporting the cause of losers. Where are your heroes right now? No where in the mainstream radar. PAQUIAO IS IT! You can analyze and speculate until the cows come home but you and your heroes are way behind the Pacman. He’s got the mainstream media’s attention (BWAA, HBO, ESPN, TIME, Ring Magazine et. al.). Tell us something we don’t know!!! Currently where are your heoes in the rankings? Start boasting when your heroes get their own Nike signature shoes, BWAA best figter award, ESPY best boxer awars or, one of the 100 most influential person award. Oh, did I forget to mention, Pacquiao earned $40 million as of the end of May 2009?

There’s triple that pro-Manny comments on this ONE ARTICLE from THIS ONE WEBSITE along. If all the credible sites and associations think that Manny Pacquiao is the Pound for Pound best…then guess what, he probably is.

Pacquiao great fighter, but i think the higher they go in weightclass the more advantage mosley has. Pacquiao didnt beat Marquez , even filipinos are saying that not just the mexicans. and Pacquiao whooped on hatton come on now hatton he was a nobody. Pacquiao would beat cotto, dats why cotto dont want to face him.
18. keep’it’real Says:

i think pacquiao vs. mosley would be a much more exciting fight than pacquiao vs. cotto. lately the public has hyped up manny to take on the best. he’s also known as the pound for pound king!
but let us not forget that the public criticized mayweather jr for not choosing the tougher more exciting fights! pacquiao and mayweather both have had some boring fights with less skilled fighters or fighters at the end of their careers. if its all about the fans getting their money’s worth. i think pacquiao should take on mosley and the winner of the mayweather vs. marquez should set a mega fight between the two winners! thats boxing for the fans. not all this bob arum promoting nonsense. money money money, who gets the proper split of the purse,etc. its boring for boxing and it loses the interest of fans.

Batangueño,
You seem to be getting a bit of ridicule for the post you stole from another site.
Personally i think its a great read. Not sure i agree with it all but it makes some great points.
I myself cant see Mosley dropping down to 140 and stil being seen as being in a fighting fit state. If anything Mosley could move up in weight but surely not down without draining himself.
Ive also said this before about Pacquiao, he beat DLH and he beat Hatton but i still dont think hes proved himself at 140 or 147. DLH was not in a fighting fit state and Hatton was dumb and stuck his chin out for Pacman and we never actually got a fight.
We dont know how much punishment he can take and in most his fights Manny takes some punishment at some point.
I dont wana start ripping into Pacman but if he wants to be seen as the king of 140 i think he needs to take on a couple more top Lightwelters not just 1 and a bit rounds of one sided action.
And i also always say how can we say hes taking on the best Welterweights if hes not actually fighting at 147?
Hes an amazing boxer and P4P king but all these catchweights and this that and the other is all a bit of nonsense. Id prefer him to win a couple of titles at 140 then either move up to 147, stay at 140 and dominate, go back down or retire.
Dont fight at weights that aint actually Lightwelter or Welter.

To webmaster/admin: Would I be breaking any rule if I post my email address here? I think it would be fun to give my fellow BoxingNews24 fans an opportunity to communicate with me. I’m sure a lot of them would like to shower me with accolades and compliments in a more “colorful” language that your forum may not allow. LoL.
Hey Manuel P(aka. Batangeno)! You keep injecting that plaster packing cheater Margarito in your articles, he’ll be lucky if he get’s his license back. Like Marquez will be lucky if he wins over Mayweather Jr. You are obviously fun of losers. But I guess you will keep writing even if all you say is crap, since Pacquiao will not be going anywhere but under your skin. As long as you keep your envy on the Pacman going strong. How many times did the Pacman knock down Marquez? Those punches must be very powerful. Did you know Pacquiao earned over $40 million this year?
It’s funny I didn’t bother checking to see who the author was, but I knew exactly who it was as soon as he started trashing cotto.
Perez, I can see your angle now. Pile on the hate for the Pinoy fighter and see if it snowballs…I guess being notorious and getting the internet hits is better then reality. How else would you get anyone to read your pathetic blogs?
Manny, you hate the man because you share the same name, right? Is it because he’s beaten all your favorite boxers? I can understand, I wouldn’t want to rally behind an untested Angulo, a chubby Arreola, or a cheating bastard like Margarito either. As a Mexican-American (assumption) writer/fan, your best bet was Victor Ortiz who looks more like a hurt puppy than a Vicious competitor after getting out-willed by a sloppy Maidana. You’ve written that Pacquiao should fight Maidana, a true junior welterweight. Why, so we can see a one-round blow out? Hatton was a true, undefeated jr. WW and Pacquiao made it a sparring session.
Furthermore, even if Pacquiao fought Mosley and won, you’d be writing this dribble the next day saying that Mosley was too old and Pacquiao made him come allllll the way down to 140 because he’s a coward. A coward that has fought almost every great between 126-147 in the last decade.
you arrogant, ignorant always nonsense and pitiful excuse of a writer. what else could be possibly said about someone who writes with great impunity to discredit manny pacquiao? hopefully one day you could write with an open mind and an un-biased way of thinking towards your favorites. dumbass!!!
