Will Pacquiao be the first man to stop Mosley?

Pac will move defend and counter.
Mosley needs to open Pac up rather than attack straight on

 

i smell a TKO coming....

 

i know mate im just trying to keep the dream alive

i dont want shane to lose mate :?

 

I think it's possible Shane could touch the canvas..

But i think Richardson will throw in the towel..

 

Mosley's never been stopped and it's not about to start now.

 

nazeem will throw the towel in in round 7

 

Mosley should just train for 4 rounds, come out and give it his all for the first 4 rounds and hope for a stoppage, its his only hope!!

 

I certainly haven't written off Shane's puncher's chance. It WILL, with no uncertainty from me, be the hardest puncher Pac's fought, and Shane's faster and better-skilled than Margo, with a similarly granite chin. I know there is a lot of question of his stamina, and I of course favor Pacquiao strongly, but even though Shane is no longer great, I still consider him quite formidable for your average welterweight fighter, and think he'd still beat the likes of Berto inside the first half. If he comes out in seek and destroy mode in the first round, I think it will tell us everything. If he's having a good night, like sometimes older fighters have in the twilight of their careers, alternating between good, bad and mediocre showings (Casamayor for instance), rather than going all at once, he could have a comeback wet dream of a victory for sure. :deal If he comes out looking like round thirteen of the Mayweather fight, he's probably going to get a mercy stoppage mid rounds by Richardson. I think, anyway.

 

Yeah he has the punchers chance the first few rounds but he aint winning a decision and as Pac takes over it will get more and more brutal, with his lack of defense it is going to be bad. After the point where Pac is comfortable enough to open up on him without worrying about counters, it is all going down hill for mosley

 

It's funny the way people talk about him stopping Shane as if it will be some big achievement.

The truth is if he does stop him which is likely, it will be down to Mosley's stamina issues that have been exposed over the last few fights rather than Pacquiao being some sort of knock out machine.

Do people think Pacquiao would have stopped a prime Shane Mosley?! It was less than 2 years ago that Roach wouldn't put Pacquiao in the ring with him when Shane was #1 ranked welterweight as he was "Too good" in own words for **** sake.

 

Agree with this, not sure why there is a certainty of a stoppage here. Pac didn't KO Marg, the chinnier Cotto was stopped but he could have go on, Mosley has a great chin, his handspeed is nearly as quick, hes bigger, rangier and stronger and Pac nearly always eats right hands. I suppose he could be shot but stylistically this isnt a bad match up

 

Yeah this is what concerns me. Except for shane's stamina in the last two fights, which were against real back foot movers, he hasn't looked shot. That Margarito performance not too too long ago shows that with a guy in front of him he is not only dangerous but spectacular in his offense - he just can't run after a guy who backs up anymore without getting winded.

I think style wise he is WAY more dangerous for Pac than Floyd, but if Pac wins he won't get any credit.

We are so used to Pac over-achieving, but the reality is he is facing a bigger stronger man who is quick and has a good chin and a huge punch. He may tear him up, but he won't get any credit for this win, and if he loses people will say he could never hang with Floyd, but Duran/Hagler/Hearns round robin and Ali/Frazier/Foreman proved that more than how fighter a does against fighter b, styles really make fights, and Shane is unfortunately way more dangerous for Pac than he was for Floyd, and Pac is equally unfortunately way more dangerous for Floyd than Shane ever was. Floyd would probably always have been too tight for that crazy right hand, a primer shane would have meant a more mobile floyd

 

Either a TKO in the mid/late rounds , or Richardson stops the fight , either way it aint going the distance

 

Yeh I agree

 

Pacquiao and his camp should be ashamed of themselves if he isnt able to knockout grandpa mosley.
If anyone disagrees with that statement, i'd like them to explain their point!
