By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao had the chance to pick among three opponents – two of them I would consider worthy and the third a real poor choice. So of the three fighters who does Pacquiao choose? He picks the poor one in 39-yer-old Shane Mosley.

In gauging fan reaction, I’ve noticed that it’s been mostly negative, but there’s some real Pacquiao-loving fans that see this as a big plus because it might make Pacquiao a bit more money rather than if he were to take on one of the other two fighters Andre Berto or Juan Manuel Marquez.

You know you’re a huge Pacquiao fan when you’re looking at his fight selections based on how much money he can make rather than from a fan’s perspective, who just wants to get the most for the huge amount of money that fans have to pay to see Pacquiao’s fights on pay-per-view outside of the Philippines.

I think Pacquiao has really let down his fans by choosing Mosley, because I can’t see him performing well and this is very likely going to be a dull one-sided mismatch with Pacquiao reducing the nearly 40-year-old Mosley to a lump of flesh on the canvas. After beating two other poor picks in his last two fights, why isn’t Pacquiao finally getting a good opponent to entertain fans with?

Is he on cruise control for the rest of his career from this point on destined to face one lesser fighter after another? I think Antonio Margarito would have been a great choice two years ago when Margarito was still packing a big punch and was fighting at the top of his game, but by the time Pacquiao fought him, Margarito wasn’t the same fighter.

Clottey was never a good pick to begin with and I saw that as just giving fans a bad fight for their money. Oh, I’m sure Pacquiao’s lovesick fans loved the Clottey anyway, but I don’t see how they could. It was a one-sided beating against a fighter that appeared to be just hanging out in a sparring session and just looking to survive to the final bell.
