You know, when I watched the Cotto fight the second time I was thinking the same thing when Pac was just resting on the ropes. If he went Andre Ward on him at that moment instead of lightly picking shots he would have had a better round (even if it wouldn't have been pretty).
If I were Mosley, I'd load up my punches with brutal intentions for the first 3 rounds. If it goes further than 3 rounds and Pacquiao hasn't been hurt bad, Mosley will gas out and get overwhelmed.
why these bigger guys dont use their size is beyond me... if i had to fight pac id make it as ugly and dirty as possible.... almost illegal... hold and punch, shoving, a foul here and there... like when barrera nelson'd hamed and slammed him into the corner... Pac has one effective range and for some dumb ass reason these guys stand right in it... Mayweather will win by staying outside that range and using his leaping hook/jab and then hold and get out... and shane could win by rough housing him inside... but to just stand there in perfect range for someone with that kind of hand speed is freakin idiotic.
Yeh, when I talk to people about what I would expect in in a Floyd/Manny fight I say the same thing, that no matter what, I wouldn't expect Floyd to just sit in Manny's range all fight.
