Would the Mosley from the First Dela Hoya Fight Destroy Pac??

The evolution of Modern Medicine in Boxing

were champions are Made

 

Don't think he'd destroy Pac, but I'd favor him by a slight margin.

 

Pacquiao handles DLH, too much explosive speed and has the ability to go 12 rounds in fast consistent pace/

Pacquiao beats up Mosley aswell

 

No Pacs straight left down the pipe will flatten his nose more like Winky did!

 

that prime mosley would beat pac.way too much for pac

 

Yes. Prime Mosley walks through everything Pac throws and stops him.

 

Well now that's just silly, nobody walks through anything Pac throws.

 

Mosley would have and would have answered back with speed and combos with power of his own. He would beat the **** outta Pac in his prime at 147. Bad match up for Pac period.

 

Mosley by bloody 12 round decision, Pac survives a KD or two. Shane was super sharp back in the day with possibly the best handspeed of his generation plus a healthy size difference over Pac which in this particular fight would've made a difference (normally Pac handles offensive juggernauts even if they are bigger, but that Mosley would've given Pac a large taste of his own medicine). I must say Mosley was a lot more solid WW than Pac is now so that's definitely a factor. Shane also looked a WW back at 135, so IMO the result is the same there too. It's just that Shane is naturally the bigger man who on his prime could've matched Pac's speed and intensity, and that's bad news baby.

I have no doubt that Mosley in his BALCO induced prime would have given Pacquiao in hell(i'd favor him as well, with those overhand rights) but that's patent nonsense I'm afraid. Pac's no shoeshiner, he has proven ability to hurt any welterweight and suggesting otherwise just looks downright silly at this point.

 

DLH not the best fighting southpaws. He doesn't have a notable right hand. But he's got size and speed. I still think Pacquiao would probably confuse him a bit the same way he did when they actually fought.

Mosley would be a tougher fight. That would be a war, and I guess it depends who can take who's punches better. I'd probably have to favor Mosley who's the bigger guy with a granite chin. Pacquiao is basically a natural lightweght, which people tend to forget.

 

I think Mosley started the BALCO stuff at 154 when he fought Oscar in the rematch at 154 he was clearly on something back then and that wasn't prime Mosley either he hadn't been the same since his losses to Forrest. The Mosley who first fought Oscar would have owned Pac. He thrived on guys like Pac who came forward with little defense and liked to trade. Not to mention Pac was much smaller, IMO Mosley would have destroyed Pac. Pac would have gone to war with a guy who's bigger, just as fast and hit just as hard with a better chin and would have been stopped.

 

My bad, that's right he admitted to starting in 03. Pac doesn't really come forward as much anymore- he comes in n' out. And i DONT think Mosley is faster than Pacquiao, even in his prime when you put the hand and footspeed together. I think Pacquiao could give him his own trouble, he's got a bag of tricks much bigger than people give him credit for in setting up his counters, combos, and shots with feints and draws. I don't think either guy wins by KO. I FAVOR Mosley on size and athleticism. But not heavily.

 

Who cares? It would be a great, great fight.
