    SHANE MOSLEY: "PACQUIAO COULD VERY WELL KNOCK OUT MAYWEATHER"

    By Ben Thompson | November 18, 2009

     

    "Pacquiao made a believer out of me with Cotto, so I wouldn't count Pacquiao out. I think Pacquiao could do a number on Mayweather because Mayweather's chin is not that good. I think that Pacquiao could very well knock out Mayweather too," stated welterweight champion Shane Mosley as shared his thoughts on Manny Pacquiao's dominant win over Miguel Cotto. Mosley, who was in attendance and sitting ringside, admits that he was surprised to see how strong Pacquiao looked at the bigger weight and is now convinced that the Filipino superstar is a full-fledged welterweight.

     

    "I thought he looked good. I thought he threw a lot of combinations and he got Cotto to press him a little bit and caught him with that little left uppercut/hook that he does and surprised Cotto. Cotto was like, 'Okay, the guy can punch. The rumors are true.' You know," he continued. "The cat's out of the bag. You can't say, 'Oh, he's a little lightweight' anymore. He's a welterweight! He's even got the welterweight power. He's hitting guys and knocking them down so you have to be careful. I won't be going in there with my chin first. I'll be fighting him like a big man, like I was fighting Winky Wright or somebody; somebody big."

     

    Mosley was sitting next to another interested party, Floyd Mayweather Sr., and the two spoke with each other as they analyzed the fight. "I asked him, 'What are you thinking?' Floyd Sr. was like, 'Man, that guy is on something. There's no way in the world he's going to be walking back a big man like that.' I was like, 'Well, I mean, he's doing his thing so I don't know what to say about that,'" Mosley recalled of the conversation. "They thought he was a little guy, but now that myth is over with. There's no more little guy; this is a real welterweight so you gotta treat him as such."

     

    Although Mosley is currently set to face WBC welerweight champion Andre Berto on January 30th, it's obvious that a clash with Pacquiao or Mayweather is the real fight that he wants. As to which one he prefers first, Mosley replied, "I think Pacquiao is my legacy because Pacquiao went up so many weight classes. Pacquiao is real big in the Philippines. Pacquiao is already a legend. It would be two real legends fighting each other."

    FR. SINNOTT FREED TO ENABLE KIDNAPPERS TO WATCH PACQUIAO FIGHT

    By LESLIE ANN G. AQUINO, November 14, 2009, 7:43pm

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    Kidnapped Irish priest Fr. Michael Sinnott said his abductors wanted him released before Sunday’s fight of Filipino boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto.

     

    Sinnott made this revelation in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) website.

     

    “Your freedom is our freedom. We don’t want to be here for a long time too. And we want to watch Pacquiao’s fight,” he said recalling his conversation with his kidnappers.

     

    Aside from the desire to watch the bout between Pacquiao and Cotto, Sinnott said his abductors also find it hard to take care of him.

     

    “With my age and condition, they really don’t want to hold me longer. I am old, and I had a hard time walking,” he said.

     

    The 79-year-old priest said he was held in “very primitive” conditions in two areas, one a swampy area “with mud all around us.”

     

    Sinnott said he had also been kept in the jungle and at one point was forced to walk for around eight hours through the mountains.

     

    The priest was freed before dawn yesterday, declaring himself in good health and eager to continue his missionary work in Pagadian City where he was abducted on October 11.

     

    His captors had demanded a $2 million ransom for his freedom.

     

    But Society of Saint Columban Order to which Fr. Sinnott belongs, the Philippine authorities and the Irish government said no ransom was paid.

    Re: Rookie Draft

     

    May "Rubio Rule" na ba in place?

     

    eto sabi ni master bubs sa keepers namin.. pa-confirm mo na lang kay jongky wongky.. :D

     

    just so there would be no confusion afterwards, i want to clarify and/or add rules regarding the rookie draft.

     

    if an NBA drafted rookie decides not to play in the season he was drafted, the fantasy team that drafts him would be able to keep his rights up to the time he plays for the nba team that drafted him OR that team trades him to another nba team AND starts playing

     

    in which case, our NBDL eligibility rules kick in.

     

     

    if the said player, decides not to play in the nba the season he was drafted AND is able to re-enter the draft in a different year, the fantasy team that drafts him loses his rights instantly.

     

     

     

    obviously, i want to address the rubio situation here and give everyone a clear guide in the event that they want to make a calculated risk.
