Juan Manuel Marquez would accept it in a New York Min.

Mosley got hurt really bad in that knockdown and after that, it was over.

He said he had never been hurt like that before, and it is true... the two knockdowns vs Forrest were after a nasty headbutt and he never did recover.

Wow, that would be awful. I can't believe that guy's even still around.

Mosley never had a chance, I don't care how injured he was. Mayweather needs to man up and fight. I don't care if it's the worst fight ever, the hype alone will revive the sport of boxing and it will be just under the Super Bowl as the biggest sporting event that year.

All Manny Pacquiao in this one. What's next for Pac Man ? Berto ? I hope so.

Mayweather doesn't even need to fight Pacman after this one...

Pacman proved why Mayweather is the P4P champ after his performance tonight.

Mayweather has fought twice in 3 and a half years. He had the lightweight champion move up two weight classes and didn't even make the agreed weight and then got rocked by Mosley in the 2nd round.

This was also the first time that Mosley was on his heels the entire fight. He also threw half the punches than he did against Mayweather and landed less as well.

I will agree that it wasn't Pacquiao's best performance. Hopefully, that entices Mayweather to get into the ring though.

How can you be the P4P when you've rarely fought in the last 3 years? Only Floyd fans think it's perfectly find to avoid boxing. :lol:

The Mavs don't even have to face the Heat after the beating the Celts gave them today. Let's just crown them the champ!

Outside of Mayweather, the only 2 realistic fights i see for Manny is a 3rd fight with JMM or Bradley. Martinez and Williams are way too big for Manny.

Floyd is seriously tarnishing his legacy with avoiding a fight between him and Pac. This fight needs to get done NOW!

Post #1631 » by **spykelee** » Sun May 8, 2011 9:32 am

Floyd and Manny are 34 and 32 respectivly. How many years are even left for these 2 guys to fight each other while at there apex's?

Two maybe three tops I'd figure. And they'd need a good year of promotion. Floyd's got to get his head out of his ass and put his "money" where his mouth is. Losing doesn't even matter. Stepping up to the plate 1 way or the other will cement his legacy as one of the best. But as of right now, he's a scared chump and nothing more, and that isn't ever going to change unless he steps up to the plate.

All the best fight the best, winning and losing is secondary in the case of legacies. History will remember the winners and losers, but both guys will be icon's.

A warm up fight with Ortiz would be nice preparation for Floyd.

I was watching the SKY commentary in england and two things
-Ricky Hatton is so god damn big.!
-I have never seen a fighter who won each round and was so heavily critcized.

Mosley was refusing to open up.it was a jk. Id expect more from him

I'm a Mayweather fan but I've lost tons of respect for him last few years. If you don't step into the ring and prove yourself don't expect to get all the respect and accolades. Mosely is no scrub. It might have not been Paquiao's best effort but he pretty much still dominated. Paquiao proves it again and again say what you want about him...

I love watching both, but I think Pacquiao puts Marquez out for good now. I think he outpoints Bradley as well, especially at 147. I'd also rather see Bradley go after Khan at 140.

I'd rather see Pacquiao book Ortiz before Mayweather can, but Ortiz being with Golden Boy hurts those chances.

Why not... a guy who can't jab for **** will be like breakfast for Mayweather.

Anyways, boxrec just posts things to get hits and this is one of them. They aren't the place to get breaking news. Records from 20 years ago... yes... but they are like the realgm wiretap with some of the crap that they put up there.
