I was thinking this as Pac is a come forward throws a lot boxer, i would of thought this would play into floyds counter punching skills.
Do you think fighting Mosley would be an tougher fight than facing pac?
mosley vs floyd
I think that shane is a very difficult fight for floyd because he can hit and has equal hand speed and has very good boxing skills and defense so I think shane has a chance to beat floyd but until someone does I still will take floyd.:boxing:
Yes, really simple
Floyd moves and will take advantage of his reach and height over Pac, who was thrown off from COTTO jabbing, unlike against a bigger Mosley
Are you serious? There are still people who think Cotto's jab, which is a REALLY good jab, threw Pac off? Why, just because it was good for a couple rounds?
What has Mosley done lately that suggest that he is better than Pacquaio in every department? He hasn't fought in over a year and in that time Pacquaio has beaten three quality fighters.
Pacquaio is also close to his prime while Mosley is 38 years old.
Mosley will have to prove me wrong on may 1. Until then I will remain sceptic on how much he really has left in him.
Totally dominated the number 1 welterweight in his last fight. After that, Freddie Roach didn't want Pacquiao anywhere near Mosley unless Shane came in at 142 max. Was the favorite to beat young unbeaten Andre Berto. Is that enough proof for you that Mosley has something left? Probably not.
I used to think that but i no longer do. Pac will be Mayweathers greatest challenge and has a great shot at beating him. The thing that you have to realize is that skills is not whats going to beat Floyd. He is the most skilled boxer in the sport all around. Its going to take a person with an awkward style that can impose their will on him to beat him. If you go back to the Castillo 1 fight, the reason why Floyd had so much problems wasn't because Castillo was more skilled than him and contrary to what most think wasn't because of pressure. It was more because Castillo imposed himself on Floy'd and made it a grinding fight instead of just a boxing fight. By the time Floyd figured out an effective way of fighting that fight, the fight was over. ( I can see where Floyd fans thought he won maybe 7 to 5 rounds and i Definitely can see where others would think Castillo won the fight. I personally scored it 6 rounds for each fighter but IF i had to pick a winner i would give to Castillo for that fight.)
I can see Pac being relentless enough to do that. I still think Floyd beats both Mosely and Pac, and i can see why he has chance to beat Mosley easily but that won't be the case with Pac. That will be his toughest test of all and i can see him losing that fight. Not to mention there's no way Mosley gets a decision over Floyd on the other hand i can see Pac getting one due to being the more aggressive fighter.
Shane got outboxed twice by Vernon Forrest and twice by Winky Wright.
Stop making it sound like he was outboxed by two bums.
I'd sure as hell bet on Vernon outboxing Pacquiao for a UD win, and slightly edging Mayweather in a boxing match
Even tho I hear you guys, I really don't believe any of you.
Floyd is suppose to be in the biggest fight of his career, and guess who him and his fans are fixated on?
For Shane to be a tougher fight, it sure doens't seem like it listening to the interviews and talk of NSB.
I wouldn't disagree with those who say Manny has improved since the Marquez fight. At the same time you have to correctly measure that improvment because since the Marquez fight Manny has not fought anyone with that style. That style is the style that Freddie Roach said Manny will always have problems with.
I dont think that a person that throws a lot of punches per round much more in continuos combinations is good for a fighter who depends on counter punching. Now a fighters that throws one-two and then a power punch is better for a counter puncher. So it's better for floyd to fight Mosley than Pac.
I give up, you know I aint a pac fan but I am not a mosley or floyd fan either. I just try to be neutral. Why the **** did I just try to talk sense to a hater like you?
You just need to think about it, think about it in a fair state of mine and you will know how many leagues above pac is than mosley. I am starting to think you hate pac for the beat down he gave to cotto.
Being fair Pac never fought animals like mosley did No?Pacs biggest wins came at catch weights(Meaning big guys drainong them selfs No?I think right now pac is the top fighter but that don't mean he is better.Mosley has a fighting style Pac has never seen as well Mosley has never fought some body like pac.But Mosley size I think will be the difference and the way he uses it.
Yes, really simple
Floyd moves and will take advantage of his reach and height over Pac, who was thrown off from COTTO jabbing, unlike against a bigger Mosley
thrown off...right. Look, everyone says that when Pac fights a bigger and stronger guy yet Pac kicks their ass....Pac is a top 25 atg, the living fighter of the decade in his prime and is at 147. There is no contest
Only an idiot would think so, no reasonable person would say yes. Pac is the pound for pound and has destroyed recent boxers, boxers that mayweather didnt dominate in such a comprehensive mannar compared to pac
why would anyone think mosley is a tougher fight for pac?
Pac is a better boxer, is quicker, has far better movement and just as good power. he is just better than mosley in every way
Yes, really simple
Floyd moves and will take advantage of his reach and height over Pac, who was thrown off from COTTO jabbing, unlike against a bigger Mosley
Who outboxed Mosley in his prime? Gigantic super skilled fighters like Vernon and Wright. Those two both humiliate Pacquiao too.

Please never ever lecture anyone about boxing with that idiotic post. Anyone with a half a brain knows Pac has improved a lot since the fight you are on about.
Pacman is far better, just think for a second. If Mosley has such better skills why did he get outboxed in his prime? Pacman has reached his prime in the last 2 or so years.

Mosley is bigger, stronger, and more skilled than pac. Roach just taught pac how to box properly. Mosley has been boxing at a high level for a long time now. This fight between two future HOF is way bigger then anything pac has done.
Who cares if Mosley is bigger and stronger? Pac is still better, what could you possibly say that would back up your claim of him being more skilled considering he has been out boxed by two boxers in his prime?
Movement is a fantastic attribute to have and it contributed to a boxers skill. Pacman is far higher than than mosley or mayweather for that fact on any Boxing list in terms of achievement. So try again
WTF????? Quit watching boxing coz you don't understand it.
Pacquiao got outboxed by JMM, nuff said. Mosley has MUCH MUCH better skills than Pacquiao who throws thousand punches with herky jerky movements.
