    Pacman favored? By who? His most loyal nuthuggers? Yeah, they both have speed, and there's a lot more to it than that. Mosley KO's his ass, and if the odds favor Pacquiao I'm putting big money on it.

    If this fight happens i see Pac getting KO'sd very early... Mosley is just as fast with his hands as Pac but hits twice as hard as Hatton and Hatton is going to be carrying more power than Pac has ever felt before. Bad bad matchup for Pac if it happens

    Tell me about it... i'm surprised their isn't a Manny Pacqiaou shrine on this site... anyone would think he is a god the way some talk about him on this site. While i enjoy watching Pac i think he is severely over rated on this site and is very much beatable especially by someone with the speed, power, chin and size advantage of Mosley.

    Smart thinking from Arum and Roach. People don't realize how big style match was Margarito for Mosley. What shocked most of us wasn't the schooling and beatdown itself, which a prime Mosley would've done 10 times out of 10, but that he could do it at this stage of his career, after the very mediocre performance vs. Mayorga. Mosley still has decent speed and very good power, but his fluid movement and the lightning fast combinations are long gone, he relies more on physicality these days. Mosley only looked very fast compared to Margarito, watch the Mayorga or Cotto fights for his 35+ speed. PacMan is much faster at this stage of his career. Of course he would be at a big weight disadvantage fight night, and with more body weight behind his shots, Mosley looks more powerful in a single punch than in his prime, but I'm not buying this as another impossible task for Pacquaio.

    Wow the was pretty good ..
    I would have to agree, too many people are letting the Oscar win get ahead of them. Mosley may not be as fast as he use to be , but he fast enough , strong enough to beat the **** out of pac.

    I am going for Pac in this fight, but woe to him as his legacy will be tarnished. A lot of scribes and pundits will label SSM as "SHOT" ADDING TO HIS ALREADY LONG LIST OF SHOT FIGHTERS!!!...

    Before Mosley vs Margarito I said that if Mosley upsets Margo we might see Pac vs Mosley and that I thought Pac could win by UD. At that time noone said that it was a crazy fight since Pacquiao was just coming off his destruction of Oscar and most people thought Mosley was getting old.

    Now Mosley has destroyed Margarito and it has really changed people's perspective but not mine. Mosley is still getting old, and Pac would still beat him by UD.

    i just hope roach is hyping up this fight to scare floyd into fighting pac. on the other hand, if they are that willing to fight floyd, why not shane?

    both fights are quiet scary for pac, but he is fighting for immortality in these last fights for him anyway. pac has always thrived at being underdog and it is never sane to count him in any fight.

    Id rather not see Pac fight Mosley, even if he wins, Mosley will have gotten old overnight. Cotto would be a much more interesting fight.

    Shane is 37 yrs old, he must be shot by now! MAB and Morales were shots at age 29 remember?

    Shane and Floydy would have been more interesting. But then again, the Michigan gangsta is just content cowering in his little corner...

    TERRIBLE idea. Mosley can power through guys the size of Vargas, Mayorga and Margarito, and he's going to fight a guy who looked small at lightweight? Manny will be knocked out if this fight happens. Mosley hits a helluva lot harder and is a damn sight faster than a weight-drained Oscar or Ricky Hatton at 140. Pacman has no business taking on the most powerful welterweight out there. He's too brave for his own good. He should stick to clearing out 135 and 140 (he's naturally small for these divisions anyway!)
