Pacquiao's Adviser: Mosley is Too Dangerous To Overlook

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is not considering, or evaluating any potential future challenges, says his adviser Michael Koncz. The boxer's complete focus  is a May 7 title defense against former three division champion Shane Mosley. The fight between Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 knockouts) and Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Koncz believes the fight with Mosley is too dangerous to underestimate. They are not going to discuss any potential future opponents until after the Mosley fight.

"We're focusing on Shane Mosley because that it a very dangerous fight. As Manny said recently in an interview is that what most people don't understand is that Shane Mosley has a tremendous background. He fought in the Olympics. If you compare him to Miguel Cotto or if you compare him to Antonio Margarito then he's got a tremendous amount of experience over them," Koncz said.

"He's got more experience than those guys ever had, and he's got power in both hands. You know, he knocked out Antonio Margarito and he damn near knocked out Floyd Mayweather in the second round. These are Manny's exact words: He damn near knocked out Floyd Mayweather in the second round. So we're not under estimating Shane Mosley and we're going to train very hard."

"This guy, Shane Mosley, has a tremendous amount of ring experience. As for the other guys, Bradley, Alexander and Andre Berto, Manny's response is, 'I don't care who they put in front of me.' Manny's response is, 'If it makes sense, then I'll fight them,' and that's what a real champion does. We don't select opponents based on easy fights or non-easy fights. Those are Manny's comments. A real champion will fight anybody. But it's also a business, and we have to look at all of the aspects of a fight."

Yeah too dangerous for Paquiao. It will take him 5 long rounds to KO Mosely or 12 sleepy rounds too win a UD. And that is with the fight already in the bag y'know.

Lol, u can write all the articles u want about how this is a tough fight, about how Shane somehow made it into the Olympics (?) (which doesn't matter anyway, considering thats amatuer and would have, even if it did happened, taken place 20 years ago)... The fact that articles like this have be...

[QUOTE=JonoYoungP4P]shane is dangerous for 3/4 rounds, thats it[/QUOTE] The only danger here is that humans will actually pay 55 greenbacks to witness this execution. Showtime: Welcome back to the most disgraced 'sport' on the planet.

Msley was never in the olympics...if your gonna hype this fight as a real challenge...get your facts right. Mosley lost in the trials to Vernon Forrest.
