WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is expecting a real fight when he steps in the ring on May 7 at the MGM Grand. The opponent, 39-year-old Shane Mosley, is considered a heavy underdog among the experts.
There are no easy fights when you're the number one pound for pound fighter in the sport, says Pacquiao.
“There’s no easy fight out there anymore,” said Pacquiao to the Philippine Star. “People said the fight against Margarito was going to be easy. Was it easy? You all saw what happened."
Pacquiao had previoulsy said that he will require at least "8 weeks of training" for Mosley. For this camp, trainer Freddie Roach wants to correct any past mistakes that were made in the prior camp for Margarito. He wants Pacquiao to spend the majority, if not all, of his training camp at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California.
