8 years ago I would take Shane all day....today Pac would knock him out early
Mosley v Pacquiao

I'm sure Mosley could put Pac away, in the first 2 rounds.
Of course, he's gonna have to catch him first. Pac's footspeed is too much for an older Shane.
I doubt Pac would be there for Mosley to hit early on. I don't think he would test Mosley's power, at least the first couple rounds. That would be suicide for Pac. Cotto, Hatton, and Margarito are good punchers, but don't hit like Mosley does.
That was a beautiful shot (2 actually) that Shane landed on Mayweather, but Floyd usually starts off slow in his fights, so he's more vulnerable in the early rounds compared to someone like Manny, who is a relatively quick starter and warms up really early.Comment

Pac is there to be hit.......that's what makes this interesting. We know Shane can land a bomb of a right hand and his even better punch is a bomb of a left hook to the body or head. He could hurt Pac. He only hit Floyd cleanly twice and hurt him badly with both shots. He also has a reach advantage and is a two handed fighter.
This is why despite the poor showing against Mora i don't think Arum will risk this, and i don't think Roach will want it either. To me talk of Pac fighting Shane is pie in the sky. Shane has problems with boxers who move and jab. If Pac fights that way he could cruise to a decision. If he wants to brawl (he usually does) that is Shane's neighbourhood there. He wants you coming in and brawling. He wants a shootout. He want's to pit his strength, power and speed against yours. What he doesn't want is to get popped by a consistent jab and chase you all over the ring.
I want to see it. Have for a long time. To me even at this stage it is more meaningful than Clottey, Margarito and Cotto.Comment
