I actually think the fight would be decent. While Mosley will probably gas out, compared to the last fighters Pac has faced he will probably have the highest chance of putting up a fight against the legendary Pacman. His power is his calling card here. Also like the TS pointed out, Mosley looks horrible against highly technical boxers with foot speed. Against brawlers he had no equal in his prime.
I do believe Pac has the best foot work of any fighter in the past 20 years. That is also why he packs such a punch. Watch the Pac vs. Marg fight in slow mo. His foot work and uncanny sense of balance, and weight distribution is what allowed him to break Margs orbital bone. His technique is perfect. So if Pac was a safety first fighter I would say Shane couldn't make this fight competitive, and that it is a mismatch.
Not sure who will agree with me here. But, the only reason Pac got hit by Marg was because Pac wanted to put on a show. Its that fighter spirit in him, that wanted to fight man to man, blow to blow. He wanted to know if he could take Margs shots, and beat him to the punch in every exchange. I do admit he looked more tired than he has ever been. But I know that he could have won comfortably, in an easier fashion. I think he was thinking knockout, until he was shocked by Marg's heart. Because of Pac's character this fight will be exciting.
CLIFF NOTES:
Mosley Power + (Pac's Legendary Status + Pac's willingness to trade with anybody) = Legendary fight for at least 6 rounds.
Funny thing is I think the Marquez fight would be better. Marquez's chin is awesome (not on Mosley or Marg level....) and he is the only person to be able to trade with Pac and win an exchange or 2.
The problem is if you want Pac to pick a fighter he will lose to, you won't find one alive....
