    Is there anyone here who thinks that Mosley will win?
    There are so many fights in boxing history that have had an overwhelming favorite.

    Where would boxing be if we didn't give the underdog a chance?

    The problem with this place is that some how fantasy fights > reality.

    Just because it looks good on paper doesn't mean shyt when the two step in the ring.

    After all the upsets recently, this guy still has the nerve to ask why....

      Hey, I hope it's a great fight - I really do, and if Mosley can pull off an upset then good luck to him. There doesn't seem too much point though - nobody will be surprised or impressed if Manny wins, and on the off chance that Mosley wins what does that do for the sport?

        Who else is there for him to fight?

        Mayweather - Doesn't want the fight.
        Martinez - Far too big.
        Ortiz - Isn't ready and is a GB fighter.
        Bradley - Won't fight Khan to earn his shot
        Khan - Want's to clear out 140. Camp mates.
        Marquez - He gets his shot next.
        Williams - Destroyed in his last fight.

        Mosley is the best welterweight available to Pacquaio, and would probably beat guys like Berto and Ortiz. It's a good fight and one I'm looking forward to. It will be a war while it lasts and fans won't be left disappointed by the action.

        The fact is Pacquaio is a small fighter who fighting much bigger, world class opposition and destroying them. He's a level above anybody else right now, and is almost untouchable around his weight.

        People seem to forget that Pacquaio has to eat and train above normal levels just to maintain a fighting weight of around 145 which is minute when most of his opponents enter the ring at 150-160. He's at a size disadvantage every time he fights which nullifies any age or wear and tear advantages of his own.

        De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito are all amazing wins for Pacquaio, simply because he is a small fighter destroying big men.

            Hindsight is 20/20.

            Didn't expect Mosley to run like a b1tch for 8 rds after getting KD.

              Your hindsight is 20/20. My foresight was 20/20.
