Simply put......I believe Shane Mosley will knock Pacman out.....around the 8th round after Pacaman delivers a very impressive performance in which he hurts and dazzles Mosley several times during the early rounds. I say this based on Shane good boxing fundamentals and skills at boxing long and straight with his punches. His speed is top notch although not as good as before or Pacs at this moment. Good enough to fight at the top and maintain enough pop to hurt guys. Pacs ultra aggressive style will in essence be his downfall and whilst he was simply awesome against De La Hoya and Hatton......i believe that Mosley experience and having fought larger fighters will hold him well for this. Pacs best wins against Barrera, Morales, Marquez, De La Hoya and Hatton. In those fights he struggled with Morales and Marquez the most......two fighters who can fight long and punch straigh. They are both not adverse to fight going backwards which Shane can do. Mosley sheer brilliance was on display against Margarito.....but i dont think he will look as impressive fighting Pac as pac is more difficult to hit so Mosley will not be as accurate or constant in catching pac as he was with Margarito. If Pac fought off the back foot, or looked to pot shot etc....then it would be a different fight.....but his style is based on top class speed, accuracy and stamina. Roach has helped him hone his boxing skills which have help him make the all-timers list without a doubt for legacy and prime performances. But i do believe he will come unstuck against Mosley......which is nothing to be ashamed of........Mosley experienced in being with far bigger men and boxing skills himself will for me show when he knocks Pac out.
Well its the beauty of life, sport and boxing that we have Pac a man who will fight anyone and everyone........when was the last time a true top tier fighter was doing this? Mayweather, R. Jones, L. Lewis all to some degree picked and chose there opponents when they had essentially proven there greatness.......but with pac he proven it and now wants to fight mosley who is coming off one of his best wins and performance. I take my hat off to the pac.......it would mean something all togeather if he won.....beating one of the top welterweights who is still able to perform would be something. But i think he will get knocked out...........looking forward to them fighting
Very true but i only me personally only thought he would lose to De La Hoya and i thought he would beat Hatton on pts.......so i guess pac has performed greater than i expected. But i just feel it the end in sight becuase of willingness to take risk after risk. In the end of the day though......if he wants to.....he can go on to fight the likes of Cotto, Mayweather and P. Williams.....would be great fun.
Mosley will show his old age in a fight with Pac. Believe it.. For me, Mayweather posees the greater challenge for Pac.
Is this a joke? Mosley has just BATTERED Margarito and dropped a very close decision to Cotto. Unless this fight takes place at a ridiculously low weight there can only be one outcome... the death of Pacquiao.
Funnily enough i think pac takes Mayweather........but mayweather does Mosley....... when you get to the elite any fighter can win
i think mosley beats pac as well....floyd is too smart for manny imo....manny is not that very bright in ring intelligence.
I pick pac for this. I think Mosley will look old again as he is. He pulled off an amazing performance against Margo, but dont forget margo is slow and has no defense. Mosley was slipping margo's shots left and right but pac is much faster and mosley keeps his hands low so he will be eating a lot of pacs shots. Mosley will be a tough fight but I think pac can do it, he likely will show mosley a lot of respect, as he did DLH and wait until the later rounds before he pounces on him. Roach knows that mosleys best chance is if they trade a lot early so he wont allow pac to do that. Money may will beat Pac, his defense is too good, he will make pac miss and counter him.
