Pacquiao vs Mosley: Weigh in, build up, and the fight.
First topic message reminder :
Ok I'll put this thread up for all the build up and the fight itself for the mega fight this weekend.
http://www.boxingscene.com/weights-manny-pacquiao-145-shane-mosley-147-more--38901
The have just had the weigh in, Manny has come in at 145lbs and Mosley bang on 147lbs and is looking in the best shape he has been in for several years.
Anybody have any thoughts on the weigh in?
When I get a link of the weigh in I'll put it up.

Re: Pacquiao vs Mosley: Weigh in, build up, and the fight.
Every soundbite I hear about this fight reinforces the opinion that all involved are papering over Mosley's shortcomings.
Nazim talking about 'when Shane wins', just like he did before Mayweather.
Roach trotting out that old 'best training camp ever' line.
Pacquiao saying how Mosley 'isn't THAT slow'.
Roach saying that Mosley is very experienced, and that 'experience can't be replaced'-neglecting to mention that his youth can't either, and that is most definitely gone.
Mosley himself saying how he's 'glad to be a part of this', like he's just happy to be getting a paycheque.
All adds up to nothing but hype.

Holding is against the rules of boxing.

Its accepted and done by all boxers when hurt. Even Ali did it.

Papering over them? They're using bricks and mortar and even trying to tell us this fight is competitive. If anyone in boxing tells me in the middle of a thunderstorm, that its raining, I'd have to check for myself.

It still against the rules. and Refs have penalised it before and even DQ fighters because of it. Ref's IMO should take a tougher stance on breaking the rules of boxing

A tougher stance on the rules of boxing? Yeah, Manny should have been disqualified for that two-handed punch on Clottey. What a scumbag. D4 you are talking so much nonsense. Excessive holding is penalised. Not every hold. Khan should have been DQd against Maidana, I suppose.

Just looking at that brutal beat down Shane put on Marg, don't think Manny could deal with that punishment, don't think any welter could.

If Pacquiao wins in a war does he get more credit because he will be beating Shane at his own game?

No. Do you agree that Khan should have been disqualified for holding Maidana too much, and the same goes for Mosley against Margarito?

I think the ref should have taken a tough stance, two warning, two point dedections then DQ them.
If you let fighters get away with it they will keep on doing it.
IMO Manny will deserve a hell of a lot of credit if he beats Shane that way.

IYO Manny deserves a hell of a lot of credit for brushing his own hair. And what you're saying is that those two fighters shouldn't have been able to fight in the manner which afforded them the wins which you yourself have so highly praised. Do you know what 'hypocrite' means?

Look at the punch Tommy Hearns knocked Duran out with, not sure many fighters at welter could withstand such a shot, maybe Manny could line Tommy up next.

Great line by Ariza, something that Freddie told him:

It's not a great line it is common sense, prepare for the best fighter that can turn up. However that does not mean that fighter is going to turn up, a fighters age and recent form is a better form line for the fighter that is likely to turn up.

Manny can starttrainig for Cooper. Do you reckon he will insist on weight stips?

Probably yeah, but I reckon by fight time Cooper will have lost the weight quite easily. But the last thing a fighter loses is his punch.

Will the undisputed middle-through-to-heavyweight title be on the line?

They'll just strip everyone of their belts, put them all on the line for one fight at a catchweight of 143lbs. Then let Manny give them up at the post-fight interview.

Not defending yourself when your hurt isn't pure boxing, its just wreckless.
If Pac does that against Mosley, There is a very good chance of Pac getting sparked out.

Sometime the best form of defense is attack.
But the "pure boxer" statement is more do to with the fact that Pacquiao does not use spoiling or underhand tactics.
Pacquiao will defend himself but will attack at the same time. When Shane is firing looking for a KO he will at his most vunerable.
And there is no one better at picking a punch when the leather is flying than Manny Pacquiao

I agree, Mosley has the power to KO Manny and the chin to take his best shot, and with the significant weight advantage, it could be a mistake.
That why I think if Manny wins a war he will deserve more credit than if say he wins by a shut out.
Roach has been warning Manny about this and has been saying to be patient.
Shane's best chance of winning this fight if he does turn into a war.

Re: Pacquiao vs Mosley: Weigh in, build up, and the fight.
What exactly IS 'pure' boxing anyway? Some of the things which were perfectly acceptable in boxing in the early 20th century are no longer seen as OK, so by that criteria boxing as we know it now is not as 'pure' as then. If pure boxing is (as considered by many) the premise of 'hit-and-don't-be-hit', then Pacquiao is certainly NOT a pure boxer.

Fighters like Marquez and Pacquiao are pure boxers.
Tend to give the ref an easy night.
If you need to bend or break the rules of boxing as a tactic to compete then then that is not pure boxing.

Re: Pacquiao vs Mosley: Weigh in, build up, and the fight.
Do you think it would be wise for Mosley to head hunt, Pacquiao, constant head movement may make it difficult for Mosley to land cleanly. Mosley go to the body. Mosley is a great body puncher and Pacquiao body has been hurt before.

Mate, no-one gives a flying monkey's dick anymore. Seriously, give it a rest. All you do is come out with the same clichés and gibberish before ducking out of the debate when you've been shown up. Which is every single time.

Tend to give the ref an easy night.
If you need to bend or break the rules of boxing as a tactic to compete then then that is not pure boxing.
Pure boxers? Pacquiao is quite poor defencively and lacks the slick skills of guys like Whittaker and Mayweather who I would consider to be 'pure' boxers.
Think you might have used the wrong cliche their mate.

Mosely shouldn't even be fighting for the title. This must be the first time we're having a world title fight where the challenger is coming off a loss and a draw in his last 2 fights. And that loss was a comprehensive beating also. When did he win his last fight?
