Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley *LIVE NOW*

[Miramonti]

Whoever is asking 100,000,000 payday even after the other agreed for the demanded drug test is the one ducking the fight. Everyone knows this.

No question about it, but Pac isn't exactly crying about it...just sayin. Both 'legacies' will be highly affected by the outcome, and you never hear Pac compaining about not putting it on the line either...

Mayweather is such a fairy.

Boxing has been dead since mike tyson step off the ring. I have been going to a boxing gym for 4 years and they are having a difficult time finding a boxer that would have a draw like mike tyson. They found this draw using Pacman but all it is was promotion. The guy never fought any worthy opponent. They just build this guy to make boxing as a sport in the spotlight again. I guess it worked.

To say Pacquiao hasn't fought a worthy opponent shows ignorance of exactly who he fought. Morales, Barrera, Marquez? Hell, two of them are ESPN's all time greatest 50 boxers list and ranked ahead of your precious Iron Mike (last on the list)... and Pacman beat them both twice (Morales, Barrera). I would include De La Hoya too since he's on the top 50, but Pacman creamed him close to his retirement so that doesn't really count.

Should Sergio Martinez be #1 pound for pound? Could Pacman or Mayweather withstand the left hook that dropped Paul Williams?

He got lucky with one punch against Williams and was using his face to stop the kid's punches in those rounds. Good luck dropping weight and using your face to stop Pacman's punches.

If you look again he fought some future Hall of Famers during his winning streak . . . . . .

and put some them to retirement.

That's as dumb as saying that Mayweather would use his face to stop Pacquiao's punches, well no sht, it goes both ways at that level of talent. Sergio blasted Williams in the first round, see 4:36 for the flurry that would have dropped most other fighters... Paul has a crazy chin though and of course he's going to land punches too, he was top 5 pound for pound in the world and that was only his 2nd loss ever. If you want to see some real exchanges, watch Martinez-Williams' first match, instant classic.

Pacman would most likely have to move up to around a 105~ catch weight to make the fight happen, meaning he gains 10 lbs and Sergio loses 10. Of course, the day of the fight it'd probably actually be more like 162 vs 145 haha.
