I'm not sold on Pacquiao beating Mosley just because Mayweather did. He's quicker than guys like Margarito and Mayweather, but he would still be right down Mosley's alley. And Mosley would still be the hardest puncher that Pacquiao has ever faced. Mosley felt like he probably had to take power off his punches Saturday night because Mayweather's reflexes were so quick.
Real talk, Pacquiao would have sopped the mosley we saw on saturday.

There's a good chance of that, and also Pac being stopped in the second (if Shane can catch Floyd, he can most certainly catch Pac) by not holding on for dear life the way Floyd did. And I don't think Pac could outmuscle Shane the way Floyd did, though Pac certainly has stronger legs than Shane.
I was more worried at the way Floyd hurt Shane. Pac has shown a pretty good chin at the higher weights, but he doesn't have Shane's chin, and Floyd is going to have his opportunities.
I'd say 80% chance Floyd KOs Manny by round 6 or 20% Floyd UDs him. Can't picture a scenario where Pac wins.Comment

Yes Shane raw power>Pac power, hell it might be Floyd raw power>Pac raw power.
Pac does not hurt you with raw power. He hurts you with speed, awkward punches that you don't see coming. Is the punches that you don't see coming is what hurt you the most. And, that is how Pac hurts you.
Floyd power and Pac power comes from different styles so is harder to compare.Comment

What's with the big letters,you trying something new? Won't help!! But anyway like I said Pac gets hit easy and if Mosley was to land a cpl bomb's like one he landed on Floyd it could be nighty nite. It's definitely a possibilityComment

It's different though. Mosley would have so many opportunities to land because of how offensive minded Pacquiao can be. We all saw how cautious Pacquiao was against Marquez, due to Marquez's counter punching. Although Mosley isn't in Marquez's league in that department, Mosley's power would make Pacquiao cautious. I'd pick Pacquiao to win, but things could turn quickly.
I agree. It's a completely different match up stylistically and Mosley would have had more offensive opportunities because Pacquaio does not have the same defense as Mayweather. It's a totally different fight.Comment
