Early this week Steve Kim from MaxBoxing had a telephone conference call with the head sancho from Top Rank, Bob Arum. Â In Steve’s article he asked Bob about his reaction to media outlets proclaiming that a fight between Pacquiao and Mosley was imminent based on some random press releases.
“The first thing I did was call up the Philippines and I talked to Manny’s people,” said Arum. “I said, ‘Did you guys commit to a Mosley fight?’ According to the veteran promoter, the counterpunch in return was: “Are you crazy? We wanted to know if YOU committed to a Mosley fight.'”
That was enough to burst anyone’s bubble, Pacquiao-Mosley isn’t happening anytime soon.
Manny Doesn’t need Marquez, Marquez needs Manny Pacquaio. And I wouldn’t blame him for not taking any fight with Marquez in the future because he beaten him twice in my eyes witch I believe. However an argument on that one will always be valid too debated of course. But we will always agree that was a great fight.
As for Pacquaio I believe if he would fight Mosley witch unlikely that might not happen that would be a bigger draw, but we all have our suspicion that he want no part of Mosley.
Someone is playing games here, and Mosley does not deserve this at all.
He is the welter weight champion of the world. He hasn’t fought since January. Mosley offered too take less of the purse money, also is willing to accommodate too fight at the same weight class of Manny Pacquaio wishes. How can you turn something like that down.
Let these two guys fight.
As much respect I have for Miguel Cotto. Im sorry some people might not like this but he is slowing down, he’s not the same guy. How much does he really have in the tank, does he even want too fight Pacquaio we still don’t even know. If I’m wrong, or mistaken please tell me.
They still say its penciled. How much money is Arum going to Pay Cotto to fight Manny Pacquaio do we even know…..NO. Does Cotto feel used by Bob Arum… Maybe…..And I wouldn’t blame him. Is Cotto contract expiring soon with Top Rank…..Yes.
So the point is we just don’t know……LOL
if pacquiao wants to get smashed he will go for mosley…for history-mayweather…for another hussle-marquez..cotto also may be the last option after mosley
if i’m manny i will not fight mosley…mosley has a natural speed & power due to inherent line from the black…i know also that the team of manny & manny himself that he will lose…manny should go for cotto just like what he did with barrera & morales-that are no longer on their peaks & are declining when he fight them, also tito oscar…mayweather also is some kind of afraid but fast & pacquiao has a lucky punch & this will lead to history if pacquiao will win…but pacquiao is running from marquez because he can take punches & can retaliate also….
I agree,…. but also lets not forget the risk factor here. Dela Hoya invited Many Pacquiao up too 147 to fight, he excepted and witch became a success at the same time. I’m pretty sure we all knew this was going too happen, the argument was going to be about the weight issue, they want Manny at 147, anything lower at 145 will be a problem for anyone to face Pacquaio. But I believe Shane’s probable the best guy too beat Manny decisively.
I think the Manny camp is afraid of what Mosley can do to Pacquaio, the way he KO Margarito (who apart from the wraps fiasco has one of the best chins in resent boxing) that power Mosley has is something to be afraid of, specially if you are a smaller fighter, Mosley is pretty much back and if you ask me, he has the power to KO Pacquiao easily, remember Pacquiao is not a true 147 or 145 fighter, has has been rocked by Morales and Marquez, DLH didn’t really hit him in that fight, a clean punch from Mosley can KO Manny in a second and I think they know that don’t want to take that chance.. Too bad because that would be a hell of a fight.
I think their was a fight commitment between Mosley and Manny And someone is not telling the truth. Lets make this fight happen it needs too happen. If its the weight issue, Manny has no reason too refuse to move up to the 147 division, he’s been there so lets make it happen, what are we afraid of…..It needs too happen, we need to stop playing around….LOL
