Arum wants Mosley, not Mayweather

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao Latest News from philstar.com Fri, 09 Oct 2009

MANILA, Philippines - Unless Floyd Mayweather comes to his senses, Bob Arum would rather see himself promoting a fight between Shane Mosley against the winner of the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto showdown on Nov. 14.

Arum, the maker of great fights, has described Mayweather, who insists that he’s still the best out there after coming out of a long retirement to beat a smaller Juan Manuel Marquez, as “delusional.”

He said Mayweather can’t even beat Mosley, Cotto or Pacquiao, and the undefeated ex-pound-for-pound champion is out of his mind to think of getting 60 percent of the purse if he gets to fight the Filipino superstar.

Arum, who was in the Philippines last week to take a glimpse of Pacquiao’s training in Baguio City, told Boxing Scene that Mayweather should fight Mosley, but since the flamboyant American won’t do that, then he better stay on the sideline.

A separate article that came out of SportingNews.com said Arum would “strongly encourage”...

Arum: Cotto, Mosley and Pacquiao All Would Beat Mayweather

Manny "Pacquiao" Pacquiao Latest News from sportingnews.com Thu, 07 Oct 2009

Some comments from The Bobfather over at Boxing Scene right now in which he says that he thinks Floyd Mayweather should fight Shane Mosley, but because Floyd will never do that, he will strongly encourage the winner of Pacquiao/Cotto to consider fighting Mosley in 2010. He also says that the money split is going to be a huge obstacle in making a Mayweather/Pacquiao fight, and that if Mayweather is going to continue to insist on 60/40, it will make his job easy. "If I start hearing 60-40," he says, "that just tells me to hang up and move on to the next guy."

But unquestionably, Arum's most provocative remark is this: "I think Cotto probably beats Mayweather. I think Manny probably beats Mayweather and I think Mosley beats Mayweather."...

Mayweather Returns....(Wow)

Floyd Mayweathers' return to the sport was quite a solid one. The size issue has been made a big deal, (and maybe for good cause), but with the skills he displayed, I'm not so sure it would have mattered. Bigger or smaller, the true issue in this fight came down to skills, not size. Marquez was a consensus top 5 P4P guy, not Tommy Chucker, the 'neighborhood sucker'! Corrales (RIP) entered the ring 16lbs heavier than Floyd and it didn't help him at all. Oscar was bigger, but it didnt help him at all. Bigger or smaller, if you can't land a hit, there's no way to win. Now that Floyd has gotten this victory...
