Instead of Pacquiao-Marquez, we get to see Pacquiao fight an old guy
December 31st, 2010
By Chris Williams: Just think boxing fans could have been given a treat of watching Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez for a third fight, boxing fans will have to settle for seeing Pacquiao beat up on 39-year-old Shane Mosley on May 7th.
This is so sad for the fans of the sport, this looking for the most money at the expense of competitive fights. In Pacquiao’s last two fights, fans have had to sit through mismatches against Top Rank stable fighters Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito.
We’ll be lucky if Mosley doesn’t fade completely by the 2nd round and just stand there like a statue for the remaining 10 rounds of the fight, if it makes it that far. I would have much preferred to see Pacquiao in with Marquez for a third fight given how exciting their two previous fights were.
And forget about this nonsense that Arum was talking about recently about Marquez fighting WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto to prove himself worthy of fighting Pacquiao a third time.
If Marquez, a three division world champion, isn’t qualified enough based on his prior world title experience and the fact that he appeared to beat Pacquiao in their two previous fights, I don’t know who is qualified. Certainly not Clottey, who had won only one title in his life and yet was given a shot against Pacquiao.
The weird part about all this is that many of Pacquiao’s fans are happy with the choice of Mosley, and don’t want Pacquiao to fight Marquez again. It’s weird. Could it be they’re protecting Pacquiao from getting beaten?

Big News! Have you heard the news?
Juan Manuel Marquez is fighting Erik Morales on April 19, 2011..
@Fightfan
Why you ask? People today don’t like anyone speaking out against their opinion
as we live in a closeminded society.
Just like people are being domonized for
speaking out against “their” governments!
The fact of the matter is most are brainwashed and don’t even know it!
Think it’s funny what I said?Look at the governments of the world and how their behaving.Its a “crime” to critisize the government?Why would the people elect a government that taxes them to death,tells them what to do and sends off thousands to die in questionable wars?!
Not to mention the FDA banning raw milk and other health foods but allowing alchohal and pharmaceutical drugs to still be sold?
WAKE UP andc start thinking for yourselves!
Study spirituality and you will begin to understand that were ALL living in crazy times and it’s going to get crazier VERY soon!
Marquez is only 2 years younger gthan Mosley idiot!
chris, i’ll fight klitschko brother for $5 MILLION + ppv buys @5%..hahaha…
You are dead right here Chris ! Good work.
Pacquiao picks Mosley because he thinks he is the weakest link
Pacquiao is avoiding Marquez because he knows he will be embarrassed again just like the two fights between them.
delahoya beat mayweather, judging by the highlights i just watched on you-tube
Then convinced your boy Floyd Mayweather to fight Pacquaio , Mr writer!
Marquez and Mosley are both old guys. But Mosley ktfo Marquez if they fight.
Why do you people always say someone is a hater? Just because they dont share your point of view and want to see a competitive fight. When I watch nfl pregame show and they dont agree are they all haters?
we have respect for boxers who have helped boxing
progress forward and not backwards like your stories
marquez had his turn and made some great respect ($$s)from
his two fights no need to give him anymore
so keep it real
now
clotty won two buddy
wbo ibf welterweight titles
keep it real
now
Hey Pinoy power, don’t you think Team Pacquiao is taking it too far fighting old dusty relics??? Nothing against Pacman, he has brawling style attractive to boxing fans, humble man like most filipinos I know, but real boxing fans feel cheated with his cherrypicking, boxing shot fighters with no chance in hell of beating him.
Who’s “We,” Chris Williams? No one is forcing you to watch this fight! Just don’t watch it!
but it was ok for mayweather to fight mosley, right?
And the flip hype job continues………
Good article if people think marquez is a cherry picked fighter like all the other pac man has face then why is so hard to get pac man in the ring with them losing 4 pounds to make 140 is that hard all this nonses that he needs to proof himself the beating he put on pac man for two fight ain’t enough I mean who else has put hands like marquez has on manny
PACHATERS are so stupid, Mosley and Marquez are almost the same age. Mosley is a real WW and Marquez is a LW. PACHATERS need to get a life and off their BS reasoning. Marquez has proven nothing in the WW division.
pac haters are trying to be blind and to be ignorant on boxing, Marquez is the most easiest fight out there for Pacquiao
Mosley io better for Manny this way he wont get exposed in a way jmm would beat him
Keep fighting boxers Post-Mayweather beatings
people keep insisting that marquez will be more competitive. before you get to that conclussion answer this question, do you really believe that marquez can beat the boxers manny beat such as cotto, clottey, margarito and what about mosely. can you honestly think marquez can beat any of these boxers at welterweight? if you think yes then why doesn’t marquez call out these boxers in the past.
@Lou you must be 1 of those floyd fans who are prison. hahaha.
Black Power is no match for Pinoy Power. Black Power is cute and used to scare heartless white people without backbone or Balls, but Pinoy Power scares the Hell out of Black Power so Much that they hide in Prison and rather have Butt sex then to fight Manny
Well, well well. Mr. Williams are you a Pac fan now. Usually, nope correction, you always predicted that Pacquiao will get a whooping from Delahoya, Hatton, Cotton, Clottey and Margarito. This time, you actually implicating that Mosley has no chance with Pacquiao.
@Red, that was funny…You made me laugh! No need for me to bet…THE RENT IS ALREADY TOO DAMN HIGH!
funny how the same people who said mosley was old and washed up when he faced floyd are now making him out to be a great fight vs. manny.
Go for it…..and testify that you the best this era…..marquez has to proof himself like pacquioa and got to fight other wise bad things to say he will beat again..never.
Ring Magazine P4P Ranking for Welterweight.
1.Pacquiao
2.Mayweather
3.Berto
4.Cotto
5.Mosley
6.Clotty
7.Zaveck
8.Senchenko
9.Jackiwicz
10.Bradley
Other than Mayweather,Mosley is the most logical opponent for Pacquiao on business and legacy standpoint. The rest of this list needs to slug it out to get a shot at #1 and/or at least beat Cotto and/or Clotty.
INFACT I THINK MANNY DONE UR M0THER ALSO.
mosley @39 beats marquez any time… even at his prime. mosley pacquiao is definitely a better match than pacquiao marquez any day of the week.
Chris,
Yes, Pacquiao v. Mosley is more exciting than Pacquiao v. Marquez in contrary to your belief that this fight will be boring. We’ve seen Pacquiao and Marquez battled it out twice. By the way Chris, why is Marquez fighting Morales instead of picking out a fight with any welterweight contenders to get to Pacquiao?
Chris, I’ve asked this before and I guess I’ll ask again. If
Marquez wants a fight if Pac so bad, why doesn’t he just come up to W/W? Pac has moved on and not looking back, if Marquez wants to heard, he should come up W/W, not stay at 135 pds saying “This is where I fight my best”, why should Pac meet him on his terms? As far as Marquez being qualified, he didn’t show too well when he fought Floyd, then he went back down to 135 pds. He should go back to W/W or to Jr W/W, then start barking.
can marquez beat pacquiao if they fight at 147 lbs?….my answer is no!…i would love to see them fight again…but pacquiao as a welterweight is too much for marquez…he will surely be knocked out…..
everyone…..
stop your comment……
Yes Floyd fought the same old guy! When he was rated number one welterweight in the world! What is Mosleys rating now? Why do you think they cherrypicked him AFTER Floyd beat him? How did Mosley look in his last two fights? See a pattern?
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Happy New Year and best wishes for everyone !!
pac girl sucks and dont be surprise that shane give pac girl hell and he is not going to fight mayweather,marquez,martinez cus he scared they gonna kill him
I like Marquez too, but He is pretty close to Mosely in age so you should find a different case to make
hey chris let me ask you something? how do you think marquez would have fared against cotto, clottey and margarito? it seems you think these fighters i mentioned are not rated? really, i would like your take on these fights…
@THE RENT IS TOO DAMN…
Pacquiao is not a pu$sy like your Floydee. For sure he wants to use the 8 oz gloves.
I want to see if Pacquiao will still request 8 oz gloves vs. Mosely?
Can you imagine Mosely tagging PaCcquiao with those 8 oz gloves?
I will bet you anything Pacquiao now requests 10 oz gloves to fight Mosely!!!
you don’t what to say or write you totally not ready for Pacman , Chris William
did’nt Mayweather fight the same old guy??….You idiot!!
chris williams go and crawl back into your hole you fool.
Chris Williams, Don’t block my comment please.. It’s about love, not hate.
Marquez does not want to fight Pacquiao that’s why he price himself out.
marquez is old!!
marquez should focus on the champions in the light welterweight division:khan,bradley and alexander because manny would destroy him third time round.manny is to fast and strong now and personally i think mosley is more of a danger than marquez to pacquiao.i would love to see marquez fight tim bradley who is the best lww at the moment and once he beats devon he should fight marquez in a fight that would be fight of the year material.if marquez fights bradley and wins titles at lww then he can maybe make a case for a pacquiao fight because wins over diaz and katsidis don’t make a strong case for a 3rd fight with pacman
I am not buying the Mosley Pac fight. I will watch it the following week on HBO for Free if its worth it. hehehe…
Chris Williams – Allen Hmiel – Dave Lahr – Manuel Perez – LET ME COUNT THE WRITINGS ….
Anyone noticed that these AKAs keep writing the same theme – Manny Pacquiao is a LOSER? I guess the website doesn’t have anyone anymore to write proper, articulate and factual articles … all we see are OPINIONATED writings with hatred, jealousy, my opinion is all that matters “articles” …. aside from these, there is also one thing in common … ALL THEIR FIGHT PREDICTIONS ARE ALWAYS WRONG …
We have never seen so much hatred and jealousy towards Manny Pacquiao EVER!
C’mon guys, it is the new year … start going back to school to brush up on writing and composition … you are making a 3rd grader look highly intelligent.
Have a better 2011 to all … I know CW, DL, MP and the gang will STILL BE THE SAME next year …
Paq has improved ALOT since the first 2 Maquez fights, so it wouldnt even be a competive match, prolly even more one sided than Paq vs Margarito. Not saying Paq vs Mosley is gonna be any competive fight ether, but since Mayweather doesnt want to fight Paq, he doesnt have many options.
Baro. Chris Williams alias Dave Lahr the Great Kool Aid Drinker still not done writing the same article over and over again, with the same substance but only a different title? This is absurd and ridiculous. The Kool Aid Drink must be getting sour and his brain is spinning as he keeps on drinking it and having double vision as well. So one advise before the year ends this evening. Quit drinking that rotten Kool Aid for now and give yourself a break, bro.
