Manny Pacquiao To Put A Ring Around The 'Mosley'?:
Team Pacquiao has gone back and forth with Miguel Cotto over the specific terms to be granted for the scheduled November 14th showdown between the two, but the point of contention that no one seems to have an answer for is the weight issue. Team Pacquiao is steadfast on the 142/143lb range, while Team Cotto won't budge from the 145lb limit. With neither side willing to budge on the issue, Team Pacquiao is apparently open to budging in another way, of sorts. Unfortunately for Cotto, is 'budge' will be a swift move from one opponent to the next, as their seems to be an underground rumbling about Shane Mosley slipping back into the mix. Mosley has already agreed to take the fight at 143lbs and even conceded to accept the smaller purse. What else could a (pac)man possibly ask for? Cotto struggled mightily at 140lbs, so for him this may be a wise decision, but his indecisiveness may teach him quickly that 'weight' always seems to break the wagon. The clock is running out for Team Cotto. It'll be pretty interesting to see who ends up getting the nod.
