    Pacman is too much the nice guy I don't think he would be like that with pbf, but at the end of the fight manny was getting peed off he didn't really embrace Mosley at the bell as much as Mosley wanted

    Also Mosley kept complaining about headbutts too much

    I was so upset and embarass with last nights fight. Trust me this fight had a lot of peoples' interest and it turn out like another Alexander/Bradley fight. Shane is mostly to blame once again and the constant touching of the gloves for anything had me more upset than anything aside from the lack of taking risk by Shane and even Manny until the end. PPV got another $5 more expensive and we got to see this. Thank God for Vasquez/Arce fight:good

    I paid $55, and I was about to smash my TV watching Mosley act like a complete *****. If he fights on I won't buy another of his fights. He stunk it up with Floyd also, and screwed the fans in that fight.

    I absolutely hate it when boxers constantly touch gloves. During Taylor vs Pavlik II, Jermain Taylor was constantly touching gloves before, and after every round. Jack Lowe told Pavlik to stop touching gloves because Taylor was "looking for sympathy". Thats exactly what Mosley did last night, he wanted Manny to have pity on him, and he obliged.

    I think mosley subconciously thinks touching his opponents gloves will make his opponents punish him less. Like in sparring when you dont hit your opponent as hard as you hope he dont hit you hard back. He tried that **** with Mayweather and PBF punched him in the mouth. lol.

    Touch gloves before and after the fight.

    To touch gloves after a KD in a professional fight is strange altogether. I've never seen two fighters touch gloves after one is knocked down, it was clear Pacquiao didn't want to finish Mosley, and basically led him on.

    I believe Mosley touched gloves to get some kind of sympathy and Pacquiao bought into it. Pacquiao (I feel) wanted to be confronted by Mosley, but that never happened - he didn't get any signals Mosley wanted a fight.

    It's evident Mosley is shot, but he was gun-shy last night. What happened to the Mosley that actually had the desire to win vs Mayweather? He actually tried to win - not with Pacquiao, he didn't want any. He was in retreat and played on Pacquiao not to go all out on him....

    Pacquiao and Mosley are just two good of guys to have a brutal war, they had to much respect at the end of the day. It was a cringe worthy fight altogether and a bizarre one.

    Pacquiao has to be the nicest guy I've ever seen in a boxing ring. It's not often boxers have mercy on their opponents, and Pacquiao is to much of a nice guy to hurt someone who doesn't want to fight...

    Prime Mosley jumped up 2 weight divisions to beat the division king, not just any belt holder but a p4p top 5 fighter.

    mosley had competitive fights witht he liked of forrest and winky 2 fighter floyd and pac wouldn't dream about making eye contact with.
