I really did enjoy Mosley's KO of Margarito. Heck, I'll probably enjoy it too if he takes out Pac like that. Mosley's a good guy. If he plays his cards right he'll get a shot at Pac-man. 70-30 split for the Pac-man. He's got competition from Cotto though. Which man will split the purse lower against Pac remains to be seen.
i think pac could hurt mosley by landing repeatedly with his three-punch, four-punch, five-punch combos. and mosley would have a harder time landing on pac
You must be refering to the Judah fight because I cant remember seeing him do that during any other of his fights. Not saying he didnt do it, but I dont remember it.
Skeletor atsch Pacquiao stepped into hattons division and destroyed him. Only difference between floyd knocking out hatton and pacquiao knocking out hatton is that pacquiao showed us what a real p4p atg does. Lets not forget, hatton went up in weight to fight mayweather. The last time hatton went up in weight to fight someone he nearly lost to collazo. Mayweather should have beaten his ass more quickly if he put shots together in the early rounds. Instead he relied on his safety first approach.
Pac-hatton, Pacquiao = 148 lbs in ring Mosley-margarito, Shane = 160 in the ring 12 lbs natural difference.
You bring up a point I agree with strongly, and that's the footspeed aspect playing a big part in the fight. If this fight happens, I don't see Manny trying to square up and trade with the bigger man just because he walked over Hatton- that'd be a dangerous recipe to mess with. I see Manny picking his spots, throwing with more focus on speed and precision than power, and keeping Shane turning and moving for the length of the fight. If Pac fights smart, I don't believe Shane's going to be able to catch him. It's easy to look like there's been no speed erosion against Margarito, but I think against the naturally smaller, quicker man, it would really become evident.
its funny no disrespect at all, but why cant they fight these big names like cotto and mosley at 147 and it has to be below that... DLH was fought at 147 so it is possible, being weight drain is part of their strategy...
I'm a Pac fan too . . . at 147 I'll pick Mosley clearly . . . at a catch weight . . . it's pretty much even. :yep
shanes one of my alltime favs, but manny is a beast y'all. shane doesn't do very well fighters with awkward styles like mayorga or winky. manny would match him speed wise and powerwise i'd hive shane the edge, but not by much. he's not as aggressive as he used to be and he sure still is very strong, but remember he's more of a puncher that moves like a boxer and doesn't hold his hands very high, even mayorga was sticking him with the jab and winning the first rounds. i think shane will have a hard time catching him and weight draining at his age is not recommendable. i'd give a slight edge to manny, whose on fire right now similiar to shane in his prime. cotto has a great jab and body attack and i think has better chances of beating manny. that would be a great fight that could go either way
hmm says... I think Pac has a legit chance, but I want him to either fight Mosely or JMM to end his career. Pac vs. PBF (to see who is the shiet) Pac vs. JMM (end rivalry) Pac vs. Mosely (make history in a 7th division)
well, like floyd, cotto and mosley are not true welters as they started they're careers at 135 and 140. UNLIKE floyd, they moved up and fought the best at 147-154, which floyd didn't do. also, notice how shane and cotto are challenging pac, while floyd is challenging jmm, whose just as good as pac, but less explosive? cluck cluck cluck
