Pacquiao wins this battle. In order to beat a great southpaw like Pac you must have a good jab or a great straight right. Mosley's best punches are the left hook and the overhand right and those puches just don't work against a great southpaw like Manny.
Shanes over hand right IS his GREATESS asset in this fight. It acts as his "Lead right" because of his speed with which he delivers it. Plus Manny leaves himself SOOOOOOO Open for short left hook/uppercuts. Shanes SPECIALTY!!
If Mosley gets hit like he gets tagged by cotto in their fight and i'm thinking twice as cotto hits him since PAC has quick hands then pac can win a UD or Split, but what i'm really worried at is if gets hit by mosley's power punches, thinking mosley wouldn't lounge chin first like hatton. I always love to see pac wins but on this fight i might give a late stoppage for mosley by rd 9.. if this fight happens at 147 143-44 let's pray mosley is not weight drained
Pacquaio has been rocked by smaller fighters than Shane (morales,marquez), I think Shane has too much power for Pac to handle. Good fight though Shane TKO 7 or 8
Ignore these knuckleheads. There will be way too many toe to toe exchanges for Pac to last all 12. Everybody is just riding the Pac train. Pac is a great fighter but Mosley is just too much for him. People using Oscar as their example are in for a rude awakening. Mosley will do everything Oscar was expected to do.:yep
You are missing something very important. Mosley will have to drain himself for the weigh in . . . Pac will not fighting Mosley over 143 lbs. If you think that will not burden Mosley then you must be the one on crack. :yep
I suspect it would be 144 or 145. Mosley will have a much easier time losing 2 or 3 pounds than Oscar did "losing seven". I will never count Pac out entirely ever again, but I think some of you are making way too much of Mosley's need to meet at a catch weight.
I don't see Pac agreeing above 143 . . . the heaviest he has weigh in is 142 for the DLH fight at 147. If Pac agrees above 143 . . . he is on a suicide Mode.
A fair compromise would be meeting halfway between 140 and 147. 143.5 seems fair, but given it's harder to move down in weight than to move up, I think 144 is fair.
