    I always like rooting for the under dog... It makes it more interesting. Especially when I was watching Rubio... but yeah.

    What do you think are MOSELY's advantages? what can he do to win this fight?

    Stamina is not on his side, I don't think he can chase PAC around the ring and let pac choose his spots.

    He must counter punch... is he capable of this?

    I see pac doing the same as margarito being on the outside and coming in hard, what can mosely do to stop this? Clinch?

    Mosely has an Iron Chin so it should help him last the 12 rounds like margo.

    DEFENSE? Does he have good enough defense to repel PAC's onslaught?

    We know he has power, can he connect it? or is it to slow? and to predictable for pac to evade it?

    Can he work the body?


    Just wondering, because I am realy hoping for a semi competitive fight... I don't wanna see anothe slaughter.. It might be fun for casuals but I acutally would love to see some adversity for PAC and not just "bigger man"

    so you were rooting for hatton vs alvarez?:p
    Mosley has these advantages: power,size
    His best chance: rough pac up low blows headbutss cuts, try to destroy his body, clinch when he jumps in.
    Problem is he doesnt ahve the stamina and defense to keep this going for 12 rounds. Pac has, I may be in the minority here but im really going to bet on pac to stop mosley between rounds 4-12, it will be no brutal ko or something but a stoppage is very realistic.

    I dunno if he can get close enough, or long enough to work the body. But he's big, fairly quick, and has KO power. I dunno what he's going to do when he gets spun around and gets a 12 punch combo unleashed on him. He could KO the smaller guy with his power, that goes without saying right?

    Even if Pacquiao was the underdog, you'd be rooting against him. This isn't about who the underdog is, this is about anti-Pacquiao.

    Mosley has a massive 7 inches reach advantage over Pacquiao. Problem is he doesn't fight long.

    The only advantage he has is getting his biggest payday of his career. he has no shot of winning the fight.

    Attack mode? I'm just telling you the truth. Why don't you just admit that you'll always root against Pacquiao regardless of who the underdog is?

    :good Big underdog fan here too man. I think Shane has a shot in this, not a big one but he can get some things done. His size alone is going to be a lot for Pac to adjust too however I think having that iron chin will help in this fight too. I'd like to see him work the body and land some good Chin testing shots on Pac's head too.

    I see Pac winning decision but I think Shane will do better than some give him credit for, afterall he is an ATG . I'll be pulling for the underdog Sugar Shane to get this done.

    Let's just hope it's not just one big round and done like the Mayweather ordeal.

    Mosley does have quite a punch and if he could lure manny into a slug fest then he'd have a good chance. I don't see this going his way though, judging by the Mayweather fight his mind wants to do things his body can't.

    I don't think a slug fest is his best game plan, that just means he will tire and rely on the first few rounds. We know Pac will get up, has the heart to receive punishment.

    IMO mosely should work the body at all times, clinch when pac is coming in because he is gonna be on the outside and lunge forward with combos... that or use the JAB to back him off with that reach he has at times mix it up with a right to the body as he lunges forward...

    He needs to think about tiring pac with Body shots.. not rely solely on power and luck. He doesn't have the stamina to last 12 rounds in a war he needs to frustrate pac a smuch as possible.
