It is easy for a boxer with the talant of Pacquiao and he has a lot of talant. To look really good against the likes of Margarito and Clottey. Cotto is decent but not great. I don't think he'd beat Mosley in a rematch. The best boxers Pacquiao has fought are Barrera in 2003 a 11th round TKO, Marquez in 2004 a Draw after knocking Marquez down 3 times in the first, Morales a loss 113-115 on all three cards and Marquez again in 2008 a SD win 115-112, 112-115 & 114-113. His best wins are at Super Featherweight and Featherweight. He dose not have the same power that he had at the lower weights. Mosley still has power even at his age. He throws strighter punches than Pacquiao dose. Pacquiao's main flaw is that he throws his punches acroos his body. I understand that his suportors and fans call it from all angles. However there is another term for it and that term is wide. Mosley may not have a great jab or he may not use it as much as he should. He is still very good from the outside. He's not Margarito, he's not Clottey. Nor is he Cotto with whom a rematch may turn out diffrantly. He's not fighting at the wrong weight like De La Hoya or getting cot for years of abuseing his body like Hatton. Pacquiao should get more credit for this fight than he is and if I'm wrong he should get more credit than he will if he wins.
Bull****, this is what will happen; mosley will come forward throwing pitter patter jabs followed by haymakers, this will play right into pacs hands because he will stay in the pocket and punch the **** out of mosely all night. Mosleys arms are to long to fight at a close distance with pacquiao. Mosley is going to have an embarrassing yet profitable defeat to finalise his career. Reality is Mosely has a chance for the first 2-3 rounds thats it (unless he is sucking on EPO in the corner between rounds) after that pac is going to destroy him.:hi:
I dont agree with you there, ask hatton (Brutal KO), delahoya (quit, cant blame him he already made millions), diaz (got ****ed up), cotto (humiliating beating), clottey (human punching bag) and maragarito (could be dead if pac didnt put the hand brake on) If JMM and Pac fought again, JMM would likely leave in a stretcher. mayweather put him down and he is not know for his punching power.
suit yourself one thing mosly wont be able to handle is the speed period pac is gonna beat him to the punch and blast him
I hate that kind of thinking. If Mosley can hit its over, please. Mosley hit weak chin Cotto plenty of times and he didnt even buckle and proceeded to give him ass whoopin.
relax, i think he was just kiddin. and yeah, i agree that mosley is a bit overrated in terms of power. sure, it's above average but imho it's not like "he lands that right on insert_boxer_name_here's chin and it's over!"
Mosley throws a long left hook and a stright right as his main weopens. Pacquiao a wide and short right hook as his lead punch and a simmaler left hook. He gets his power or what is left of it by thrusting his hips into his punches. Mosley's power comes from the triditional way of creating distance. What this means is that Mosley is going to be where he can hit Pacquiao and Pacquio can't hit him.
And its because of opinions like this that arum has gotten away with his bull**** for so long. For the record - I hope your right because I dont see the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight happening anytime soon & I do want to see Pac get mashed up before retiring...... but we both know its terribly unlikely.
No not really. I beleve that Mosley is still a good boxer. It seams that the main reason a lot of people are picking Pacquiao is not that they think Pacquiao is better than Mosley but that Mosley is shot. If I;m right and Mosley is not shot than he's going to win. If I was a gambling man it would be a low risk wager on Mosley. Right now it looks like it is at + 450. That seams like a pretty good return to me.
Pacquiao's only Put him on his ass stoppage win 135-154 was over Hatton. His stoppage wins over Diaz, Cotto and De La Hoya came from overwhelming them. His last 3 bouts went into the 12th round. He's by no means feather fissted but he dose not have the same power that he used to.
