It is Round 6, the fight has been tight for the first 5, pac has been landing some good shots and mosley has not landed one of his hayemakers. Due to activity and the cleaner punches, pac is winning the fight.
Round 6, one minute in, Mosley throws a huge right and it lands flush on the cheek of pacquaio
what happens next?
Does Mosley turn back the years and finish him?
Or as we have seen from fights such as Morales, Morales and Margarito, Pac will simple move out and rest for a few seconds before unleashing a fury to keep Mosley off?
regardless of the above, another question is
do you think Mosley can turn back time for one fight and bring a performance of a life time or has that ship sailed?
i think both roach and pacquiao expect this sort of thing
that's why they're confident all mosley has going for him is a punch and not even a strong one, sad but true
ding ding ding.
manny's resistance to punches from legit WW's has been the most remarkable part of his rise in weight
he's got one of the best chins in the sport, consdering he's a former flyweight, and larger than a LW at this point in his life
when he took cotto's sunday punches and was able to fire back in the same round i knew miguel was in for a viscous beating.
I agree.
Pac has a great chin. He was buzzed momentarily by Marquez back in 08 and buzzed a few times along the way of his rise in weight but I can't recall a time where he has been badly hurt in many years to the head.
He most definitely has an excellent chin and Shane won't land consistently enough to stop Manny.
Shane is not going to hurt Manny enough with one punch to take him out. And I just don't see him landing that right hand consistently.

I just watched that fight again. You're right about Manny's ability to take a punch being part of what is most impressive with his ascension through the weight classes. Cotto caught him with some SOLID shots that really got Manny's attention but Pac was able to answer back every time
Pac will bang his gloves together and fire back shots of his own.
ding ding ding.

Except, he wasn't.
Mosley didn't land a great deal (who does against Floyd?), but he landed more than two punches in the fight.
Floyd is known for an excellent beard. You have an agenda, therefore you cannot discuss this without sounding foolish.
no he's not
Floyd has an excellent chin. He got caught with a bomb around the temple but kept his legs, had the awareness to get his hands straight up and recovered quickly.
Pacquiao can be rocked the same way by Shane's power if Shane lands a bomb in the right spot. What I believe is that Pac will be able to survive and shake it off, if so, just as Floyd did.
if he had an excellent chin he would'nt have been hurt by every punch mosley landed(which was with pillow gloves, not the stuff he used v margarito)
i think his left hook is better
manny wobbles
puts his hands in the air
backs up to the ropes and fights back
he'll finish the round landing the cleaner punches
shane is way past his best days
arum wouldnt put him in with manny otherwise

It would be game over for Pac.
Mosley collapses from exhaustion
But if this fight reaches the second half, consider this a moral victory for Shane Mosley
I expect Brother Naz to throw in the towel in the 4th, or not allow Shane to come out for the 5th
mosley is not known to hurt with one shot, cotto, margarito etc all took a number of those shots
one shot, unless pacquiao doesn't see it, is not gonna do anything, floyds chin just isn't that great
I don't think Mosley is going to be in any shape to land big by Round 6. The fight, like all Pacquiao fights, will be fought at an incredible pace so if he is going to land big it will have to be early (as in Rds 1-4).
If Mosley lands big this time, I think he will finish.
Im not even a Pacquiao fan, but since Mosley is old and can't finish Pacquiao..
Im gonna say that Pacquiao claps his gloves together and knocks Mosley out.
