Sugar Shane vs Pacquiao is in the works. Possibly at a catch weight around 144 lbs. I hope Staples Center bids hard for this fight, it would be awsome to attend!! Screw MGM, lets get 20,000+at Staples! Makes sense with the Philipino population in LA+Shane being from Pomona. Hope it happens.

It would be great to see Mosley vs Pacquiao here at Staples Center. I might pick Pacqiuao over Mosley since he dismantled Hatton in 2 rounds.

Tough call. Mosley has quite the chin and just knocked out Margarito. I think it would be a great fight and a great event for LA if they can work it at Staples.

I don't see it. Mosley is a great, great fighter. Bringing up the win against Hatton doesn't really prove anything because he is a totally different fighter than Mayweather. For one, Mosley is great and Hatton is mediocre. Not to mention Mosley's hand and foot speed, his smarts, and his toughness.

A Pacquiao-Mosley fight is one for the ages. A great matchup of two guys who can box but who will bring the fight. I'd love to see it happen.

HBO is replaying all three Gatti/Ward fights this weekend. If you have not seen them, I suggest you find time to watch.

Pacquiao vs Cotto on November 14th! This summer had been pretty week when it comes to boxing, so hopefully this fall heats up a little.

If Floyd beats JMM, i'd like to see him fight Mosley, with the winner of Floyd/Mosley fighting the winner of Manny/Cotto. One can dream.

That's true,it has been a boring summer for boxing this year. I think Paquiao will beat Cotto in Nov.by decision.It will be a good fight to watch. Floyd/Mosley fight would be fun to watch also with Floyd by knockout in the 9th round.
