Boxing had two big fights canceled in the past several weeks, the first one was the much talked about Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao mega fight, next was the Sugar Shane Mosley vs Andre Berto fight that was scheduled for Jan. 30th on HBO.
Mayweather/Pacquiao was canceled over ego and posturing, Pacquiao refused to submit himself to a basic blood testing format used by USADA and all Olympic athletes.
Mosley/Berto was canceled because of a unexpected tragedy, Andre Berto is a Haitian American and lost several family members in the devastating 7.o earthquake that killed many Haitians and left so many without a home to stay, because of this tragedy Berto decided to focus on helping the people of Haiti and his family during such an emotional time.
The Mosley/Berto fight was canceled because of a tragedy which is very excusable, the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was canceled over silly pride and avoiding a simple blood testing procedure which have many fans questioning the real reason why the fight wasn’t made.
Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, blames Mayweather Jr. and his people for being scared yet Manny Pacquiao was the one scared of taking a blood test.
So now we are left with Pacquiao taking on Joshua Clottey, an African welterweight who is also promoted by Bob Arum, that fight will take place at Dallas Cowboy stadium on March 13th good luck filling that place up, I doubt the fight will even sell the 50,000 tickets it will look very empty.
The Pacquiao vs Clottey fight is a fight we didn’t ask for or care to see. Boxing fans wanted a fight of substance.
But it seems we might be getting an even better fight than Pacquiao vs Clottey and that fight is Sugar Shane Mosley vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. for sometime in May.
Shane Mosley is a more dangerous fight for Mayweather to take, Mosley is more skilled, stronger and bigger than Manny Pacquiao and more difficult to fight.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. would have a very easy time with Pacquiao. Pacquiao is much shorter and has a shorter reach compared to Mayweather Jr., also Pacquiao’s weakness is counter punchers and this is probably why Arum and Pacquiao didn’t want to fight Mayweather Jr. or Yuri Foreman because they are both slick intelligent boxers.
Mosley became the man to beat at welterweight when he stopped the “Tijuana Tornado” Antonio Margarito in 9 rounds.
Mayweather Jr. is taking on the much tougher and worthy opponent in Mosley. Pacquiao is taking on a guy he believes he can beat easy in Clottey.
Pacquiao recently ducked WBA Jr. Middleweight champ Yuri Foreman even after Freddie Roach his trainer and his promoter Bob Arum said Foreman looked like the leading prospective opponent for Pacquiao.
Pacquiao admitted to being scared of Yuri Foreman, after seeing how strong Yuri looked in his fight against Daniel Santos, Pacquiao said he didn’t want to fight Foreman because he was too tall and big. Yuri Foreman is the same height as the weight drained Oscar De La Hoya who Pacquiao beat easily.
This move is very questionable, is Pacquiao really as ballsy as people say he is? A man who Pacquiao recently beat to a pulp is willing to move up to 154 pounds to face Foreman for his title and that man is Miguel Cotto.
Miguel Cotto is a true throwback fighter. Cotto needs to take a rest but he shows that no matter how hard a fighter is beaten he shows no fear in facing a challenge, Cotto has the heart of a true champion.
While Cotto and Mayweather both take on tougher tasks we finally find out that it wasn’t really Freddie Roach hand picking Pacquiao’s opponents it was Pacquiao himself.

Hahaha, you should pay attention to current events before making a fool of yourself.
‘The Event’ sold 20,000 tickets in the first 3 hours that they were available and the original 40,000 seat slate is reportedly sold out… with 50 days left before the fight, before promotions have really begun.
Also, word from Mayweather’s camp is that ‘Money May’ doesn’t think he will be paid enough to risk his 0 against Shane so he will skillfully dodge yet another challenge. Look for him to pick on a bloated, old lightweight in Nate Campbell and come in overweight just to add sizzle to the matchup.
Nice article though lol.
lol he fought him and beat him it was more exciting than the clottey fight obviously
hohum….another mayweather nuthugger reporter. needs somebody’s attention,huh.
“Pacquiao didn’t want to fight Mayweather Jr. or Yuri Foreman because they are both slick intelligent boxers.”
Yuri Foreman a slick intelligent fighter! That is news! Maybe you are in a different planet!
This write-up shows the difference between a true writer and a fly-by-night blogger. What do you think, Jamal?

Dumbass. Jamal is a 14 year old kid with lots of pimples and who has just started watching boxing on youtube. Please allow him this funny essay. It’s probably a homework assignment from school gone horribly wrong.
great article mayweather is THE GREATEST! 40-0. PACROIDS need to take a drug test first
Hey Jamal Dick!
Your pen name even sounds limp! I know your Floyd hiding under that pen name. Stop hiding and ducking, you chicken!
Show some balls Floyd and fight Mosley. Even if you lose, at least you will gain some respect back, Do you know what’s worse than a low class boxer? Yes, it’s a COWARD chicken boxer! bwuk bwuk bwuk! and that’s you Floyd Mayweather Jr.!
What do you call a coward that is a duck and a chicken? = Mayweather!
Mayweather is cancelling the fight with Mosely, read the current events before you write a article.
The author of this article is an idiot. Period.
what’s the name of the writer?
HHLLRRKKKK, PWE!!!Another idiot writer. Yah, right! keep dreamin Gayweather will fight Mosley. till now, there’s no word yet….A LOSER WRITER.
Keep thuging Pacquiao’s cape, that’s the only way you get a hit!!!!
Encyclopedia has a new word:
MAYWEATHER= a coward; a duck; a chicken in a mans body.
I agree with the assessment of Cotto and Mayweather, but Clottey’s a good fighter now and has a real chance to win.
what f—-ing kind of writer is this cretin? he talks like an uncircumcised penis! ngek!
Idiot,
I guess you’re so happy that a lot people are reading this article. so bias and so full of crap. Manny is ducking yuri wait and see untill he gets accustomed this weight and he’ll fight Yuri for the eight title. fine comes with age. with mayweather i hope that fight never happens because he just run, run, run, and more running. Hhis running away again from Mosley. and the reason again becuase of Money. He ran away from his biggest payday. Bottom line… mayweather is
coward and scared to lose that BIG zero in his resume. His a racist for trying to ruin the name pacman and the name all of the filipinos who are fighters and who are rooting behind him. that’s funny a racist black guy……
hohum… another wannabe boxing analyst, trying to ride the bandwagon on the drug testing issue.
Jamal- The slumdog.
I know you’re just trying to get some attention because of the way you write. Hey, here’s you’re attention. Mayweather didn’t fight Cotto but Pacquiao did. Who’s coward? Pacquiao chose not to fight Yuri because he can barely make it to 147. He has to eat tons of high-calorie and high-protein food in order to make it to the scale. Pacquiao is smart. He has to protect his body from your foolish insinuation. He knows how fast to go up in weights. About your blood tests, why would I listen to a bully wanted me to do this to prove something? Pacman stand his ground because he’s braver than him. Why can he go to the school principal and ask him to tell Pacman what to do? Problem is, the principal doesn’t listen to a bully and flunker kid in school.
Pacquiao agreed for blood tests and Gayweather agreed to start negotiating for the schedule of blood tests. What’s your point of Olympic-style blood testing? Your Gayweather even abandon his stand on this style of test because he doesn’t know much about it, like you do. They can’t just agree on 14 or 26 days. According to Tygart, Gayweather’s collaborator, there’s no difference between 14 and 26 days. So where have you been? Are you hiding with Gayweather, who’s busy playing with his precious 14 eggs.
I can’t believe that I’m reading this garbage! Jamal, you better dig deeper so can find the right answers before you right with your BS article. Yuri Foreman was a bait by Arum’s mindgames to lure Floyd to drop his ridiculous demands or else Pac will fight Yuri. That was so quick action done by Arum but he was not serious about it. Arum is grooming Yuri as the same as he is grooming Pac. They are his boys and his Top Rank assets. Pac was intructed by Arum to decline the set-up…Pac the champ will never say somethin’ like that or not to fight on his own words. Finally, Arum was serious when he announced Clottey to fight Pac. So next time Jamal don’t ever write if you’re not even sure of what you’re writing ‘coz, it turned out now that you’re a dumbazz…
typo: before you write w your BS article
Does anyone have a complete list of protein foods ?’.:
