Before Saturday, I thought Pac couldn't beat Mosley. Now I'm not so sure...

    Mosley is shot. He pulled a BS performance out for Margo, vintage Mosley.
    But before that? he was looking like **** and he is only getting older

    Cotto was there to be dominated. As Teddy Atlas told you, he's damaged goods.

    I think Molsy is a different fighter now with Nazim Richardson as his trainer

    Mosley would be harder because he has a good trainer that could come up with a strategy. Cotto, Hatton and DLH had no strategy, they just depended on their size but Pac has shown he is a real 147 fighter whether he weighs that or not.

    Its a harder fight and Shane has speed but shane is also getting old. He looked great against margo who is slow but not that good against mayorga just before and he hasnt fought in a year. Shane also leaves himself open so I think pac will have his opportunities to land. Shane looked fast against Margo but he is a slow plodding type and style wise nothing like Pac.



    The real factors for me are: can Nazheem come up with a strong gameplan? versus How are mosley's reflexes speed and stamina at his age? Can Mosley keep up with Pac's foot work and movement and get to him?


    right now, due to his age I am picking Pac to beat mosley.

    :lol::lol: Pac just beat one of the top welters. If you can beat a top 4 in a division you should be able to fight anyone else in that division.

    I think its a 50-50 fight! Mosley beat Collazo, vargas, mayorga, and margocheato. To say he's shot is dumb but he is wayy past his prime

    still think mosley koes him. but it would be a war. but mosley hits harder then cotto, has a better chin then cotto and has better handspeed then cotto.

    Mosley has a better chance but doesn't throw the straightest shots in the world. However, I think he could bully Pac, and for longer than Cotto did.

    This is the fight i wanna see more than the PBF fight
    YOu know its gonna be exciting because both fighters have speed power heart and a chin.
    Those type of fighters always make for the best fights.

    Stylistically -- Mosley is a tougher challenge for Pacquiao

    Nazim Richardson is a smart trainer, and on top of that Mosley hits harder than Cotto, punches faster, throws better straight punches and has a much longer reach... as well as some things he doesn't do as well..

    But still, Mosley i think presents a big challenge to Pacman, but in the end I still think Pacman would end up breaking down Mosley and making him look his age.

    PAC can beat any of the CURRENT Welter weights out there. Some will present more problems for PAC who have longer reach, much taller and natrually stronger. But make no mistake about...PAC can beat any 147 pound fighter when he's on his "A" game. Shane included.

    I'm with Mosley for the reasons that have already been outlined: strength, power and durability.
