    No this is not a hype up thread. I think Mosley is totally over the hill so let's get that out of the way.

    That said, styles make fights, Pac does not have Floyd's defense and he will not have Mora's reluctance to exchange. He will be there to be hit, and Mosley still has speed and power. If not that great a win on Pac's win, it could at least be a great fight and could be a great win for Mosley.

    I just hope that if it happens, Pac vs Floyd still happens, that's a totally different fight, Floyd doesn't have Mosley's chin or power, even though I still think he'd beat Pac, it's just a totally different fight, so it should still happen.

    Mosley has a decent right hand, a good clinch game, and knows how to take small steps backwards. Marquez did those kind of steps on emmanuel, and Mosley did them against marg. These are the new things he brings to the table that emmanuel's last opponents were lacking.

    If Shane can get emmanuel into a clinch, I want to see how emmanuel will deal with it when Shane is landing some bodyshots there.

    Well, we just have to take a look at the shot he landed on Floyd. If he landed like that on Floyd , he can land like that on Pac more than once. If he does then he could definitely KO Pac with one of those bombs.

    Mosley in his current form is better than anyone outside of Marquez that Pacquiao has faced in a long time.
    I like Pacquiao's speed and abillity to carry the day in the end. However Mosley has size, power with the skills and experance to use them to his advantage.

    I'm excited to see this fight. Shane could score a massive upset or emmanuel could do the old warrior a favor by sending him into retirement.

    Much better than the Clottey and marg fights.

    If Pac uses is stupid defense ala Clottey and Wright, then he will be doomed.

    I actually like this fight. It is a test whether Pac is really intelligent or dumb.

    This is the fight where Pac will shine or get exposed.
     
  9. Nope:-( at 40 and clearly over the hell Mosley ain't gonna do it, you guy's are dreaming:nut, Shane is about 4-5 years too late...

    The only guy who could beat Pac around 150 and probaly KO him is Martinez but now way in hell will Roach take that fight, Serg is just too big and strong with freakish Stamina...

    A good chance is too strong in my opinion. He has an OUTSIDE CHANCE.

    And the fact that Pac is not as defensive as PBF doesn't make it an easier fight. Pac's OFFENSE is his defense. He also has a good chin, so if you land a good shot, he then goes right on the attack.

    Do you really expect Shane to be able to go toe to toe with pac at 40 yrs of age (or just about)?

    That isn't realistic. Shane should use his good chin to carry him through the fights tough spots and out box pac. If he is able to catch pac or wear pac down later in the fight then stand your ground. But going toe to toe with this guy is the wrong move and will lead to Shane getting stopped.

    I cosign!

    Pac takes calculated risks and forces you to take some fire to get your shots in. Nothing is for free with him.

    Stylistically? Decent match up.

    Chronologically? Horrible match up.

    For this fight to have been valid it would have happened INSTEAD of the Cotto fight. Now it is just BS.
