While I agree that Mosley would still beat Berto/JMM, some fans prefers a fresh opponent, some fans prefers to end the unfinished business. No, i'm not defending Mosley. I totally hate him. I was actually choosing between Berto and Jmm, but hey, all of them are cherries. I tried to wear the team Pac shoes and looked at the business perspective, and I have Mosley and Jmm left. But Jmm is Gbp so we already know what Arum did there. If Jmm was also a TR, i'm pretty sure he would have been the chosen one.
I do believe a younger Mosley would of put Pac on his ass., but being the situation as it is which is an age factor against Mosley. I know his changes of winning this by decision is not happening. Both fighters have a high percentage of knocking each other out, so this factor will still make for a entertaining bout. My gut says Pac is gonna win, but by no means am I counting Mosley out.
true mosley has a puncher's chance but he has to do it early. If he can't KO pac within the first 4 rounds then his chances of winning becomes goes down.
i agree, pac will play it safe in the early rounds going in and out. will probably test the power of shayne.

Sounds Familiar ... DLH "I am gonna knock Pacquiao out early" Hatton "My strength will be too much, I will stop Pacman" Cotto "I predict a KO win for me" Clottey "I will knock Pacquiao out" Margarito "I will pressure Manny and Knock him out" ... Pacquiao "Just doing my job, nothing personal"
I am interested in seeing the fight, but I fully expect to see pacman winning most of the rounds and easily beating Mosley. It might be a more exciting fight than the Mayweather/Mosley, but pacman will win. The only chance Mosley has is to knockout Pacman. He could do that, but Cotto fought Pacman and didn't stop him, and I think Cotto hits harder than Mosley. Mosley is physically stronger than Cotto so maybe that will make a difference.
