The longer the fight goes, the better his chances, is how. See Mosley vs Mayorga. He even started to look halfway decent late in the fight against Mayweather. Pacquiao better not lay on the ropes to prove a point like he did against Cotto. :nono He'd better come out like he did against De la Hoya.
Mosley does have problems with mobile fighters like a prime Cotto and with Floyd. Manny is very mobile, but I dont think Shane will be too impressed with Manny's power as with his speed and volume punching. It took many rounds for Manny to stop bigger fighters like Oscar and Cotto. Mosley should be the most dangerous of the bunch, even though all of them were faded, what Mosley did with that huge right hook to Floyd Manny will be very much aware of. I always thought stylewise Mosley is much more dangerous for Pacquiao than Floyd ever will be, just like Oscar said Quartey would be a much harder fight than Trinidad would be and he was right. Mosley ain't looking to go the distance, he's gonna hunt Pacman with right hooks and bodyshots. Another interesting thing not many here talk about is what if Shane DOES handle Manny's best shots, how will Manny do fighting backwards with the bigger man going after him because I think that is a likely scenerio. That is why I'm picking Pacman by decision because Mosley having Richardson, the same man who's bringing out the best out of Bhops, a fighter that should of been retired almost 10 yrs ago and on the brink of making history, could also bring out the best in Mosley. If not for Richardson, I'd pick Pacman by tko or even ko, but Mosley is lucky to have such a great trainer like Richardson. Mosley did look shitty vs. Mora, but Mora would do the same with Floyd or Manny, plus Mosley knocking out Mora I think was not a likely scenerio. About the only good thing about Mora is his chin and even still Mosley was robbed of that win, even with little stamina.
I don't know I went to bet against Pac and came back richer than everyone and the fight hasn't even happened yet. :good
Mosley will be tired by the 5th round. There is a chance that Mosley for the first time in his career, gets stopped. It happens to the greats, when they stay fighting too long, there comes a time when another fighter ends their career.
Mosley looked tired the WHOLE FIGHT against Mayorga.. he still KOed Mayorga in the 12th round.. nasty left hooks in the 12th. He looked like a dog (not a dawg, Requiem4) against Mayweather, and still made it to the final bell, finally getting some steam late, once again. Pacquiao doesn't want to see Mosley late in the fight.
