    If you were to have looked at the fight video footage that was chosen of Shane Mosley for the first episode of the Fight Camp 360 Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley last weekend, you’d think that Mosley was still in his late 20s to the very start of his 30s instead of his actual age of 39.

    This seems like the old bait and switch to me. Boxing fans, the casual variety, will see the young Mosley fighting Oscar De La Hoya on the Fight Camp 360 clips and some of them might think that’s how Mosley looks now. Boy, will they be in for a shock on May 7th when they see how much he’s aged and become frozen.

    Mosley will be turning 40 in September, but it was interesting that the fight video that Fight Camp 360 decided to use of Mosley was early, early footage of him instead of video of his last two fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sergio Mora. Mosley looked horrible in his last two fights, losing badly to Mayweather by a lopsided decision last year and then getting what many people saw as a gift draw with Mora.

    I saw Mosley losing that fight and looking every bit of his 39-years, if not more. I have no idea why Mosley was chosen as Pacquiao’s next opponent rather than someone more relevant that’s actually looking good and still winning fights. Pacquiao and his management team could have fought Mosley years ago when he was still fighting well. Why did they wait until now to fight him?

    The last time I checked, Mosley hasn’t won a fight in over two long years. Can you believe that? Why in the heck is Pacquiao fighting this guy? He’s clearly struggling. Isn’t there someone more cogent for Pacquiao to fight than this? I don’t like mismatches that are mismatches coming in the door.

    This fight is a mismatch on paper, and it’s laughable to see Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach saying this is going to be a tough fight and shutting the doors on Pacquiao’s training sessions. I just wonder who will be next after they beat up this aging fighter?

    Because he hasn't been impressive in his last fights?

    Trying to hype a fight and made it look better than it most likely really will be.

    Gee, there's a first.

    They should have shown the second round when Mosley had Void out on his feet! Why did Mosley suddenly quit throwing punches? Fishy indeed..........

    Could be because there only allowed to show stock footage that belonged to Top Rank not GBP..... Hence it was full or Margarito and De La Hoya clips!

    maybe that argument it a little to logical for most ESB posters!

    Maybe its a secret plot to make him look good.....who knows

    I think I saw some Mosley vs Margarito clips. That's one best win of Mosley in recent fights. I picked Margarito to win that one. lol.

    They're trying to sell the fight, and Mosley looked awful in his last two bouts, why on earth would they use footage of him being schooled by Mayweather and then struggling to a draw with Sergio Mora?
