    Assume for argument's sake, that the fight takes place at a catch weight of 144 or 145.

    Really?

    I'm surprised, Scar. Not sure why, but I would have imagined you being in agreement with me on this one.

    Can't see Pac lasting longer than the halfway point myself in this one.

    I like Mosley in six or less (let's say, TKO5).

    If Shane is not affected by weight loss (a great athlete but an aging athlete) than Shane.

    Yet Pac has suprised the hell out of me before and I don't think he intends on going in against Shane without a plan.

    I will go ahead and say Shane.

    First of all, I still doubt the fight will even happen, because I believe Roach is too smart to allow Pacquiao to fight Mosley.

    If he does fight him, Mosley is going to most likely win in brutal fashion inside the distance. But even if I am wrong about that, and Pacquiao somehow miraculously wins, it WON'T be because Shane's too slow.

    If Mosley loses, it will be because the punch he is most susceptible to (IMO) is a lead left from the southpaw stance. However, on the flip-side, Pacquiao is tailor made for Mosley's straight right.

    In the end, Mosley is bigger, stronger, and has the more proven chin.

    In a battle of Pac's left against Mosley's right, I'll take Mosley all day long.

    Shane KO5

    I can't blame you, this is 50/50 all the way, for me at least. Pacquiao just has too much speed, energy, power and movement to get KO'd, his defense is also very underrated. I'll go far enough to say I'm expecting him to make Mosley look slow in there because of his own scary speed. I'll be shocked if either man gets a KO in this one, VERY shocked, hell a knockdown will shock me and I know it's possible.

    Pacquiao is just too good right now to fall in this one, the Margarito fight was amazing but Pacquiao is no Margarito and I've been saying for a long time that Margarito is nothing special. One fight before that Mosley was struggling against Mayorga and looked like he was losing going into the 12th.

    Mosley Too Slow? Do you know something the rest of America does not? if anything Shane is FASTER than Manny. Lol, people gotta get off the high that is Manny. He just fought 2 fighters in a row, that COMBINED threw 80 punches his direction. When a guy like Marquez wobbles the hell outta you, I tend to think Shane will save him the wobble and nicely lay him down, just like Manny did for Ricky!!

    One thing is certain: Mosley isn't going to walk into Pac's right hook every time he throws one.
