Shane Mosley interview on FS1 - breaks down Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

B-hops ****ysis on the fight.

"Not only will I break the fight down for you, I will give you a prediction. Now, I could be wrong, but then again, I could be right. The first 5 or 6 rounds, it's going to be a back and fourth fight because of Pacquiao's aggression. But Pacquiao is not the best defensive fighter. Mayweather is going to sharp shoot, and not only is Mayweather going to fight back when he needs to, but after that 6th round, it's done," stated future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins, who gave his official prediction on the long-awaited May 2 showdown between undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather and 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao. According to Hopkins, after the first 6 rounds of the fight, Mayweather will begin to dominate to the point that some fans will be upset.

"Hey, listen, there will be people that's so upset because they charging people money, they are going to be so upset because in the second half, it somehow turned into such easy work that they are going to feel like there was some type of corruption or foul play or pollution in the air. They are gonna make up all kinds of excuses (laughing). I believe the second half of these 12 rounds gonna be target practice for Floyd. And it's going to be a situation where, is he putting a show on just so people can get their monies worth or is it just that easy. That's my bold statement and I stick by it, now let's wait 8 to 9 weeks and see what happens," Hopkins explained during a recent conversation with FightHype.com. "The fans have spoken and they delivered. It's better late than never. Enjoy the super fight, our Super Bowl of fights this year, and this is the beginning, I hope, of big fights to come, whether it's Golden Boy or any other promotional outlet. At the end of the day, if everybody step their game up, you don't have to complain; just do! Thank you and continue to support boxing!"

 

If Pacman was a good infighter with underrated boxing skills like Maidana has now and Castillo back in his day, I'd favor Pacquiao. At least he does have dizzying speed on his side, the best thing he could do is do what Calzaghe did with Bhops. Overwhelm Floyd, that is the only way I see this favoring Pacman, but Calzaghe was a good inside fighter with freakish stamina. I think Manny will get tore up if he attempts to infight with Mayweather, tho Floyd is the bigger man. The few attempts he's tried Pacquiao has failed and
then went back to his mid range style using angles. His footwork right now tho could give Floyd problems. You never know, Pacman might be the one outboxing Floyd and Floyd being the aggressor, it's happened before, stranger things have happened.

 

:good

 

"Now, I could be wrong, but then again, I could be right"

 

Hopkins is going to wake up from his dream when PAC beat that azz down. People think Floyd is going to start doing better in the second half but that's when PAC is going to beat that coward azz down.

 

His opinion makes sense. Little breakdown.

• He thought Mayweather would wait longer
• Claims he was injured in both fights vs Floyd and Manny
• Mayweather was harder to hit than Pacquiao
• He was able to evade Pacquiao's punches easier than Floyd's
• Floyd is the better technician, Manny is the better fighter
• Floyd has more power than people realize
• He predicts a 12 rd UD for Mayweather

 

:deal

 

I can totally see that.

People get caught, it happens. And his words, not mine.

 

His words, yes. That's why he's a lil biased ya.

 

I ****ing hate that at least hump back!

 

Does the problem lie with her or with you? If she just laid there, I would assume that I am not doing something right..... but that's just me.

 

I have heard Hatton, Marquez, and Mosley all say Floyd is the better fighter. Most boxing fans know this to be true. Whether they want to admit it or not. Come fight night all will be proven.
