I am a huge Mosley fan as well as a huge Pac fan.
I see this fight as a wash. Pac will never let Mosley into the fight. Sure Mosley may tag Pacquiao in the opening 2 rds. I believe Pac will take it(might wobble) but will tag Mosley bag several times before the end of that round.
Pacquiao is just way too much for Mosley at this point.
Mosley is a flurry fighter. His jab is not very instrumenta. He paws with it. It is not crisp and precise. Pacquiao will go around that kind of jab all night long. I don't think Mosley will survive to the 10th round. I think the ref will stop it. I don't think Pacquiao can knockout Mosley or even drop him. But he will beat him up. Nazeem may even throw in the towel.
Pac is a welter fighting a welter. As with his previous fights, it will come down to skill, not size.
well.... you could say pac is a mid-sized welter fighting a full-blown welter in Mosley. Whereas Mosley would most likely weigh in 150 or more at fight night, Pac NEVER weighed above 149.
I totally disagree with you guys about Shane not being a lethal one punch threat. Let's ask Antonio Margarito who hit harder Shane or Pac. Listen, there is no reason this shouldn't be a complete wipe out victory for Pac, just Like Arum and Roach picked it..but, don't u dare think for one minute Shane isn't capable of putting Pac's lights out with a bomb right hand. Pac should win this fight easily but expecting him to KO Shane is also pretty ambitious...u guys do realize Shane Mosley is one of the most durable fighters of all time and has never been KO'd right?
This is a joke of a fight and Arum, Roach, and Pac should be ashamed of themselves.

Most fighters that are Pac's height are either in JWW or lightweight. I believe he is a JWW and small for a WW.

The comment about the weak jab that Shane has is right down the middle correct. I can just see it right now. Shane throws that flicking jab and then Pacquiao tags him 4-5x. Eventually Pac will shut the jab down after that scene plays itself out about 4-5 times. Then it will get really bad for Shane when he doesn't have a jab.
I love Shane and it's going to be hard to watch.
I like the responses. As expected there are folks that think and believe that Mosley can drop or knock out Pacquiao. I think he can buckle and possibly get a flash knockdown in a very BEST CASE SCENARIO. But I don't think it will. Pacquiao takes hard shots in sparring and has been hit on occasion by really good shots(Cotto a few times, Margarito a few times) Those guys have comparable if not equal power to Mosley. Mosley is NOT a really huge puncher. Good puncher----yes. An ice cold/one shot power hitter----not at all. Not at all. Only was at lightweight.
shane will not be able to get off in this fight at all..mannys foot speed is too damn fast,plus manny will keep turning him..i see shane flicking that weak ass jab out and getting a 4 piece combo in return..this fight will be brutal and manny will retire shane
Manny moves too much for Shane to catch him with those flurries. I see this going 10 rnds at most. Pac will fix Shanes nose and he'll shut Shanes pretty green eyes.
It's not just going to be Manny's handspeed which is quite a bit better than Mosley's speed(at this point). It's going to be the IN-Out foot work/angles.
Remember when Cotto's speed and boxing was really getting to Mosley.
Then multiply that time 3-4. I'm serious. Accept Pac will be hurting him and busting him up more because he puts more of himself into the shots than Cotto does.
You would have to go all the way back to 2003 to have Mosley being competitive. I think the Mosley of 7-10 years ago would have provided and 50-50 fight.
Gawd,.....is Pacquiao ever going to fight Mayweather. That's what I want to see. That's what everyone wants to see. Enough of the BS
Not sure if shane will hurt manny cause manny wont stan flat footed in front of him like floyd did..mannys rhthmn wont allow shane the chance to get off due to the fact his legs are gone ....manny will stop shane before the 8th round..shane's face will be swollen beyond recognition

I agree with you 100%. I love Mosely but hes always been knocked off his game plan with a jab in his face. He only comes with an A plan never B or C.
I think Manny stays away long enough to figure him out and then shock an awe....
These are big guys that Pac is fighting so anything can happen. Anyway I think Pac got this, he's proven in his last few fights that he can beat bigger guys. How come Pac is the only smaller guy that can beat the bigger guys, why can't other fighter do it LOL.
A-side meth.
this will go 12 rounds. id hate to see mosley looking like margs and cotto but thats jus how its gonna be.
