Biggest problem Manny faces, is that against Mosley, he wont be afforded the luxury of languishing on the ropes and grabbing a rest mid fight, cause Mosley, unlike Margo and Cotto, has the power to take him out, not saying they did'nt, but they needed to get more shots off to do it, that said, with Shane's apparent issues with stamina, where by the power on his shots gets less and less the tireder he gets, might not be as much as a factor, especially if Manny works his old body early, which I reckon Roach will advise him to do. Another problem Shane has, its not so much about his(Mosley's) speed, but about his reflexes, its okay saying you have enough speed to compete, thats not the issue imo, reacting to punches(reflexes) in order to answer the opponents attacks/rushes is more important, and that is something that seems to of eroded for Mosley since the Cotto fight.
The main reason im giving mosley a chance in this fight is that pacquaio has always had trouble dealing with the straight right hand. The fighters who have given him most trouble iun recent years have been marquez and erik morales. Morales in his win in the first fight and marquez in both fights had great success with the straight right hand. In his run up the divisions pacman hasnt fought any fighters who throw a lot of straight right hands, margo, clottey, cotto, de la hoya and hatton are all left hook merchants. Mosley on the other hand will undoubtedly throw a lot of right hands and he does have the power to hurt pacquiao. I foresee at least a few hairy moments for manny.
:rofl Pretty much my take. I see Pac winning 7 of the first 10 rounds, and IF he doesnt stop Mosley (which he shouldnt be expected to, Mosley is nothing if not tough and durable) then I see Pac winning 9 rounds to 3 at the closest. No reason this fight should be any closer. And I can honestly see a ref or corner stoppage in rounds 8-12. This fight will be embarresingly one sided. worthless fight.
I hope you're not implying im some sort of a ******* :--(, just last week someone was calling me a *****.
