Pacquaio's Key to victory
I say May 7 will be an easy night for pacquiao if he just simply boxes shane mosley. I say in the early rounds all he has to do is work behind a good jab and stick and move in the first half of the fight. After Shane tires he should just start pouring on combinations all the way to a decision or maybe even a stoppage. The one thing he shouldnt do which almost got floyd knocked out is trying to trade shots with mosley so early on. Even at 39 Shane is still a threat and has punching power.
If you look at Shane's losses all of them came from fighters who used their boxing skills (mainly the jab) to slowly break Shane down. Shane had no answer for what his opponents were throwing and lost the match. It seems that he's very successful against fighters who come straight at him and tries to trade. This something pacman shouldnt do too early in the fight. If Pac uses his speed and quick footwork to simply outbox Shane early it definitely end in a sensational fashion for pacquiao.
Mosley's key to victory
Now for Mosley I say his key to winning is one word, timing. Juan Manuel Marquez showed that if you can time Pacquiao just right then you can hit him. Shane has to do the exact same thing. The problem is that this is not an easy task to do. At 39 the question is his reflexes fast enough to accomplish such a task. We all know that he still has the power and speed to cause problems, but what about the timing. you can have all the power and speed in the world but if you can't time punches than you're stuck. the perfect time to catch pacquiao is when he throws that straight left hand. He still seems to be off balance a little bit whenever he throws that. The best thing to do is to for Shane to counter with his own straight right or hook before pac's even land. Thats why i hope floyd fights pac because it would be a contest's of the straight punches because the right straight is floyds signature punch.
Another opponent mosley is facing that night is time. Mosley doesnt have the youth anymore to go 12 high paced rounds with fighters like pacquiao anymore. I feel that he needs to catch pacquiao, hurt him, and knock him out early. This will be difficult but can be done. The interesting thing is that while Mosley may be pacquiao's oldest opponent, he will still be the hardest puncher pacquiao has faced. It would interesting to see how pac stands up to a flush hard shot from mosley, that is if he lands a flush shot. Yes Cotto, Hatton, Oscar, and Margarito had some pretty decent power but they all dont hit with as much speed and power as Mosley. Yeah I think Shane definitely needs to knock out Pac earlier in the fight in order to walk away the victor. Reason being is that while Shane will grow tired Pacquiao will just keep getting busier and busier which will make the night seem alot longer. Well I feel that this is what both fighters need to do to win. It just depends on which one executes their game better. Feel free to give me any inputs you might have
