    WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao spoke with ABS-CBN after returning from a a two-week vacation with his family in Japan and Australia. He told the network that Mosley will be tough fight and gave him credit as being a busy puncher with exceptional skills. Pacquiao defends his title against Mosley on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    Well not everybody can pull off Mayweather's "He's a bum" routine to hype a fight.

    He's hardly gonna say " don't watch this fight cos i'm fightin a guy who was in his prime 10 years ago an it will be as one sided as Haye vs Harrison"

    Well, he'll be the second or third smartest above 130, at least.

    Mosley has never been a clever fighter. Sort of fell in love with his physical gifts and has pretty much always relied on them with one blip here, one blip there (Collazo for instance.)

    No Marquez the guy who beat you twice, the guy you turned down is your smartest opponent yet fella. I love Shane but 'smart' and 'Mosley' don't belong in the same sentence unless its 'Shane Mosley is not very smart'

    Shane's my boy but Pac's clearly trying to sell this. Id love to think Shane can turn back the clock but its not happening. Shane doesnt throw punches in bunches any more. He's flat footed, easy to hit and throws one shot at a time. Pac will turn him into a punch bag much the same way Floyd did.

    it's just an opinion. i don't understand what the fuss is all about. pac says his opinion and esb reads too much into it. mayweathers say some crap, they treat it as bible and defend it no matter idiotic. sheesh.
