idk man, manny is a special fighter, but like some people have said, he hasn't faced a fighter that can crack at 135 yet to take on one who is one of the top 147-154lbers doesn't sound like a good idea. but then oscar being past his prime could still crack at 154, and even tho mayorga didn't have the power to hurt shane, his style gave shane problems. if manny has a chance of winning, it would be with speed and defense, not trying to slug it out with shane. i think manny might have a good chance and as much as i like shane, i'd pick manny in a close fight, but if shane connects cleanly, not many can take his shots and that would be the big question. i think manny can pull it off. i'd love to see manny vs. mayorga first, would have a high entertainment value and act as a measuring stick
I heard that before december 6, 2008 I even argued with many pac nuthuggers in pacland. I thought pacman had no chance against delahoya then what happen? PAcman won Mosley would be a tougher opponent but after watching pacman going up to 147 lbs and still having the speed and power. I wont be surprise if he fights mosley and win. :good
You did that? hahahahahahaha! Man, if you want to argue against hard core pac believers than pacland is the place. It's sort of baptism of fire in pacland that you went through. BTW, been a member there with the same handle since '04.
Yea im still a member of pacland. i just havent gone there much cuz pacman doesnt fight til may so im here. Plus right now they're probably talking about what pacman should eat for breakfast :rofl
and the color of his underwear and his haircut and his t shirt and watch and car and the songs that he should be singing in concerts. tralalalalala. :rofl
a great gameplan that's well executed by a great fighter can take you places.......but i still wouldn't put my money on Pac, but who knows bigger upsets have happened right?
i dont know about a KO win cuz mosley is pretty tough but i wont be surprise if he wins. He does have a lot of talent and now we know he still has speed and power at 147 so he can still be as dangerous like he was at Super Featherweight.
Tough fight for pac. No win situation for pac. IF HE WINS pac haters will say shane is OLD and or SHOT!.... again no credit for pac :yep
There might be a weight clause in contract. Shane Mosley may not be allowed to blown up to 160, maybe 147-152 at fight night (or penalty of 1m/lb excess). Then he would be semi-drained just like Oscar. All this just for, you know, money.
For those still underestimating a phenom like Pac, even since the Ledwaba fight I think it's now time for you guys to realise that Pac is truly a cut above the rest. He has proven it time and time again in front of millions of people that he can defy logic and prevail against great odds. When will you start to believe in him? When he is already retired? I just hope you guys will not say Mosley is so shot, old or weight drained when Pac beats him easily. There was a reason why Oscar didn't weigh 160 during their fight and it was not due to bad luck, it was intentional and the people behind him knew what they were doing. Most probably, they wanted Oscar to remain below 148 to take advantage of the speed factor, which everyone knew is Pac's greatest asset and/or to be able to carry a lesser weight to take advantage of stamina, which is one of the most well known weaknesses of Oscar. They probably figured out that weighing 160 would be more of a disadvantage than an advantage. Moreover, Oscar has been in the welter weight territory before while Pac never did, which is another advantage for Oscar and below 148 was the weight of Oscar during training and Nacho said the training went well. Again, they knew what they were doing and with their experiences, most probably they know better than all of us. Only someone stupid will say he knows better. No one was really saying Oscar was so shot because there was no denying he was competitive against Floyd, never mind against Forbes, it was really just the weight excuse and with the weight excuse removed there is really no valid excuse left considering Oscar had more advantages. This was Pac's greatest win, it's just not fair to deny him his greatness in the way he destroyed Oscar with the reason that Oscar wasn't prepared well enough to fight him. Call me a ******* just make sure you explain why I'm wrong the best way you can.:rasta
