What's more intriguing.

To be fair to him, he's still taking! risks to a degree.

Its okay saying Pacquiao destroyed ODLH, but not many people anticipated which Oscar was going to turn up, which is most probably why so many picked him to win by KO, therefore, it was a risk imo.

Also, what ever's said about Pac's advantages stylistically over guys like Hatton, Cotto, Margo, some of those stylistc advantages he was perceived to have by some, were not shared by others, not until he beat them anyway, where by they had saw how it unfolded, then its easier for them to play revisionist historian. There were numerous journo's that picked Hatton, ODLH, Cotto to beat Manny, so you gotta given him a degree of credit for taking risks imo, irrespective if some people perceive them as favourable match ups stylistically.

I think im right in saying that Manny Steward picked Hatton to beat him, that Malignaggi picked Cotto to beat him, and there are probably many more.

 

I dont see Mosley as a challenge to be honest, he will be dangerous early of coarse, cause he can bang, but if his only chance is a punchers, how different is he going to be than anyone else who had that advantage over Manny? Mosley is not the fight he was either, his punches seem to lose steam as he tires, so.......

I do think that fight was a bridge to far, that he should of stepped it up, even if it were against Marquez, sooner or later enough is enough, this fight takes the biscuit a little.

 

Put it this way, I think we''ll have problems logging onto this forum

I guess its not out of the question, I mean Manny is very hittable, Mosley has power, but only seems to have power early, so I guess what ever he does, he better do it early. Roach did say though, that Mosley needs someone to come and have a fight with him, which I agree with, so it makes you wonder, with Manny's in and out motion, and Mosley's aged reflexes, is he going to be that effective early? given that Manny will probably be able to move more when fresh, that Mosley's aged reflexes could make it difficult for him to time those raids.
