Pound for pound king Manny has decided to fight Shane Mosley this May 7, 2011 at MGM Grand Las Vegas and his decision has created a talk over the world not just by boxing fans but of everybody. This also happens during the Clottey and Margarito fight where in the fans had a boycott.
Mosley-Pacquiao Fight really a mismatch? A lot of criticisms is common, like Mosley is too old to fight Paquiao. Mosley's past couple fights is one of the reason why others don’t like him to fight Pacquiao and some just doesn't like the idea of them in the ring. A lot of fans had said that they would go for to watch a fight of young unbeaten boxers to fight "The Pacman" like Berto or Marquez.
Of all, why Shane Mosley? When is the Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight?
Either Andre or Juan Manuel Marquez had been chosen because obviously Pacquiao has already a big edge. Going back with Berto or Juan Manuel Marquez, both has still a lot to prove compared with Pacman. If ever Marquez is chosen, he is too small and he would have to go up two divisions from his natural weight. Andre Berto has no enough track record to fight Pacquiao.
Top Rank and Bob Arum had chosen Mosley because of financial sense, critics said. Pay per views would be a sold-out if Mosley fights Manny. But in terms of pay per view Pacquiao doesn’t need a really big name opponent just to sell it. The Clottey fight would prove that Pacquiao is also a pay per view king.
The explanation above may sound lame but, quiet true. The main reason why Mosley is chosen over other boxers is because he's linked with the only rightful challenger pound for pound stake Floyd Mayweather.
Mayweather has remained the pound for pound best fighter in the world for others even he had been resting for some time already. There are various list of the best Top Rank boxer with only two names as number one, either Pacquiao or Mayweather.
If Paqcuiao will impressively beat Mosley as many expects that he will than Floyd Mayweather did, let’s say he will knock him out then he will be acclaimed as the number one pound for pound fighter in the world.After then, we could anticipate a Pacquiao-Mayweather Fight. The only way Mayweather could regain the title is to fight Manny or the easiest way as they say is to successively fight all recent former opponents of the Filipino fighter.
