mosley was an absolute machine at 135... mosley by lopsided boxing clinic U.D ( though i may be giving pacquiaos chin to much credit here)
Pacquaio beat David ****ing Diaz, he didn't even go after Juan Diaz! Shane at WW was a beast, alot of people forget that. Remember that left hook to the body? That knocks Pacquaio out in 11 rounds.
Very close, but best chance for Pac is on points, and very possibly Mosley by KO, at 130 Pac was almost out against Larios in the 3rd, could see Pac getting hurt and Mosley going for the kill, and it's over.
One hell of a fight. Pacquiao would outbox him, too good and too many punches and Mosley wasn't hard to hit, but also Mosley could hurt and knock Pac out at any time.
Mosley fought Pac, took half a step back at an angle and created the oppertunity for offense. That was todays gun shy Mosley who has no business fighting. Imagine giving a 135lb killer Shane Mosley those oppertunitys, while he's still hungry and punching fast and hard. Shane's body punching dissapeared, but when he was at 135 it was his main wepon, I don't think Pac can take it, he'd know exactly what 'leg cramps' were after this fight.
great thread....Pac was way faster, but his lack of defense+Mosley's power, ends that fight within the first few rnds
This wouldn't have been some catch-weight bullsh*t fight. Mosley at LW was a big, strong, body-bashing machine who would have wrecked Pac. I don't doubt Pac would have been competative for a few rounds but once a young, motivated, confident Mosley went to work it would have been one way traffic. Would have been a hell of a tear-up tho while it lasted!!!
It would a war, mosley's big run from 2011 doesnt mean he would get schooled at 135, he could very well win, guy was a beast in that division.
