yeah disappointing. the same old names getting dragged up again. i'd have liked to see someone like andre berto get the shot. or berto vs mosley fighting each other for a shot at pac. but instead of that shane gets the call cos he's a free agent and arum can clean up again.  |

pretty much there now n all...
A fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley is not far from being agreed, according to reports.
Pacquiao, the current WBC light-middleweight champion, is already pencilled in to fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 7, with Mosley apparently at the front of the queue.
The American will be just four months shy of his 40th birthday by then and has certainly shown signs of fading in recent times, having been overwhelmed by Floyd Mayweather earlier this year before being held to a draw by Sergio Mora.
However, his box office credability is not in question and another huge payday beckons for both he and Pac Man, who will then line up Mayweather or Juan Manuel Marquez later in 2011.
"We've already discussed the fight about three, four weeks ago, so now we'll go over it again," Mosley told the LA Times.
"Both sides just need to commit to what we've talked about and then I think we're done."
Pacquiao could put his light-middleweight strap on the line - which would almost certainly require Mosley to agree a 'catchweight' - while the WBO would surely sanction a welterweight match-up for their 'super-champion'.
Mosley is also likely to be subjected to similar drugs tests that he undertook in the run-up to the Mayweather fight, following his involvement in the 2003 BALCO steroid scandal.

another mayweather victim then, no way do these fights solidify his legacy. He's merely maintaining his status as a boxing superstar now. He hasnt been tested since he fought marquez in 2008. mayweather made marquez who is the very definition of a world class fighter look useless. All roads lead to floyd mayweather. Indeed, but Pac keeps running into this sign:  ...because the owner is a fucking pussy. |

Why should it be up to mayweather to impose his own rules when the previous rules have been good enough for everyone else up to that point. Everyone including GAYweather.

Pac's agreed on two occasions to the testing requested by Mayweather, and on both occasions, Mayweather's backed out like a chum.....................p.
Mayweather's sole calling card is that he's never lost. Now he's up against someone who is actually a threat (and Marquez was NEVER a threat to him, going up in weight as he did), and he's running scared.

Yes, a little. Turns out reading your posts has dulled my brain to such an extent that I lost 75 IQ points in a week.
(The good news is I don't have to work anymore. Disability pay, mofo!)
("why would he agree to them after disagreeing to them entirely and agressively, only a few months prior?")
It's called "negotiating". If you believe there were no negotiations, well then...I'm clearly talking to a brick wall, so I'll stop trying.
