    This is how they should start Mosleys training camp:

    No chance at all, 4 % lucky punch. I mean a young Mosley would have a chance, but now, never. Pacquiao gonne send him too retirement.

    that's a good word to think about too...as this is most likely his last fight anyway (cashing out) i wonder how hard it will be to motivate him to train his ass off

    He might have a 1% chance.... That is if this truly is Pac's 2nd fight off the HGH. Marg was his first fight off the HGH and now all this time clean. Shane might be able to rip his mid section apart. 5 Solid years of juicing then to come off will finally catch Pac.

    Its okay having the handspeed, but you would be better off having the reflexes, which Shane doesn't at this stage imo. Shane also loses power the tireder he gets, so his punch power could be less of a factor as the fight wears on.

    Mosley will have to do something significant early.

    Mosley at this stage cannot deal with a fighter who doesn't stand in front of him. He has fast hands sure, but Pac will get off first (as Floyd started to do) and hits fast and hard enough to neutralise Shane's offense. I see this as a blow out.

    If he can land like he did on Vargas in their 2nd fight.

    Mosley absolutely has a chance; his chance however is slim. Styles make fights. Pacquiao is hittable and few hit harder than Shane pound for pound, while having complementary speed and an iron chin.

    Shane's achilles heel has always been crafty, technical fighters. With the exception of Cotto, all his losses came that way. Manny is not very technical nor crafty but his sheer activity and combination punching overwhelms opponents, and Shane will likely be no different. The risk for Pacquiao however is getting seriously hurt in this fight. I cannot recall a single fight in which Manny has faced a fighter with this much power, much less speed. If it goes the distance, I'd think it would go in Pacquiao's favor.

    None. Most likely Mosley gets stopped. I hate when shot boxers stick around too long. I understand if it's for money reasons but I hate them still fighting on, Mosley is done and should retire with his health intact.

    No he doesn't have a chance, unless he hires Ariza.

    I thought Cotto's jab & smart boxing won him the fight against Shane(great fight BTW). Prime for prime Mosley/Pacquiao would be a Fight of the Millenium because of the speed/reflexes but now Mosley doesn't have the speed of foot anymore or his not too shabby reflexes. He was getting outboxed by Mayorga about 3 years ago! Pacquiao may carry him but it'll be a sad fight to watch and a very one-sided victory for Pacquiao.

    I'm not even sure If I'd pick a young Mosley to be a favourite. But, Old Man Mosley has very little chance about as close to zero as you can get in boxing.
