Am I The Only One That Thinks Mosley Can Beat Pac?...

[AFighter4U]

Just curious...in what fights have you seen SSM gas out? Also in what fight has Mosley been KO'd or TKO'd?

To quote Roach, "I've seen your last two fights".

Mosley was a top class fighter during his time, considering he was at one time P4P #1. But the fact that he needed to take PEDS to fight (and lost to ODLH btw) shows his stamina is just not what it used to be. And i'm pretty sure Mosley didn't take those just for the heck of it. He took those IN THE STOMACH (peds i mean) at least twice a week! That takes a lot of commitment and endurance to go through something like that. I simply cannot imagine the kind of pain he went through. So the need to take those was significant enough for him to got through something like that.

Add to the fact that those drugs has a long-lasting side effect of actually robbing you of your endurance PLUS his age of 38 years which is really old for boxers.

Though mosley was never KO'ed or TKO'ed, but there's always a first time and its a very likely possibility considering Pac's work rate. Heck, Marg should have been TKO'ed.

...Don't worry 'bout the E-thugs>>>>PRICELESS

E-thugs ... hahaha LMFAO

I agree with everything said. As for getting flack for expressing your honest opinion...don't worry about the e-thugs. The clinch tactic that he used against Marg would def help Mosley out if this fight goes through. He would be able to clinch and hit Pac with some huge shots. Yes Mosley might be old, but as you saw against Marg he is very strong. Also as you mentioned, Pac will always want to stand a trade...that is he's biggest weakness. Great post!

I don't think Mosley has a chance at all, and even before the Floyd fight I thought Manny blew him out the water.

I will say this though; Shane puts up a better fight than Berto and Marquez that's for sure. I feel Shane gets battered, but he actually would last longer as Berto has no stamina and a suspect chin, and Marquez is too old and not close to being on Manny's level at this point.

To be honest I don't believe everything that comes out of Roach's mouth is golden. He is known to speak out his @ss. I think if Mosley looses it would be more mental then anything. I say let the fight happen and if May won't fight Pac after move on to JMM.

Well I understand your point. So you agree that since May is unavailable this would be the best fight for Pac?

I have always felt other than Mayweather Moseley is the one fighter that could cause Manny real problems. The fight should have been made a couple of years back but even now I can see him doing well.

[SNVDoublePunch!]

Mosley is a better boxer than Margarito, the fastest, biggest hitter he's fought above 130 and yes, he can absolutely win. Pacquiao doesn't fight anything like a defensive genius in Floyd or a tall natural 160-pound spoiler in Mora. Nobody cherrypicks Mosley. Floyd didn't cherrypick him either. Mosley is a dangerous SOB even though he can be frustrated and out-boxed.

A couple of years back everyone would have said that Mosley would destroy Pac. I also seem him doing well, and I don't see Pac KO'in or TKO'ing him at all. I hope the rumors are true...this would be a FOTY candidate.

Finally someone who's knows their ****. I agree 100%. Shane is dangerous, but can be dealt with if you can outbox him.

Speed, speed, speed, and more speed, man. That's what will keep Mosley from having any chance. Mosley used to be a really good boxer to go along with his ability to brawl, but most of that is gone, he has basically been reduced down to big shots and nothing else. He would spend the whole fight, however long it lasted, tense and confused as Pac moved and threw. It's possible he wouldn't even do as well as Margarito did because Mosley is smaller and doesn't apply that nonstop pressure that made Pac uncomfortable in spots. He also doesn't throw half as often as Margarito did.

You're also severely underrating Pac's defensive skills, like most people. He may get hit, but 9 times out of 10 he is landing three punches at least for every one landed on him. When Pac is moving, it's hard to find him and hit him clean, especially when he's throwing.

The only chance Mosley would have is that perfect shot.
