Pacquiao Is Gonna Take Alotta Damage Against Mosley

[ThePrince]

Im sure Naz is brewing something up.

Yup. He's going to unveil a new secret weapon to deal with Manny:



Naz has already started working on his throwing form. It's all about fundamentals

[The Gambler1981]

I would say Cotto is more than just 'alright' technically and he has a top notch jab, just was rendered useless by Manny's speed, timing, head movement, and footwork. Just look at how effected a slick fighter like Foreman was by that stinging jab.



Margarito made Manny look like a toddler in the ring and he came out with a stiff jab early, then Manny figured him out and it was a landslide from there. Shane isn't a great technician at all, in fact Cotto is his superior in that department. Plus he has a strange jittery, flimsy shot he calls a jab but will serve him no purpose whatsoever against Pac.




Shane will look like DLH in there and will be befuddled from the opening bell. Manny will jump on his, keep him turning all night and land at will. He will have absolutely no problem getting into range.

If Cotto was more then alright fighting backwards would not be such a horrible outcome, if you can only go one way you are very limited.

Margarito is not a technical fighter and never tried to keep anyone on the outside, mainly because his best punch is the uppercut and that is not a punch one throws from the outside. Margarito is bigger and taller than Mosley and Shane savaged him from the outside. Just because a guy is big means nothing about how they actually fight and what they are trying to do.

Shane might get befuddled because that is what Mosley does but it will take a lot of work from Manny to get to that point. That is a dumb way to fight a guy bigger than you who will throw straight rights which always hit Manny.

Just think about the geometry of the situation, it takes less movement and energy for Mosley to pivot on one foot while Manny runs around in a bigger circle, now draw 2 circles one around Mosley and one around Manny to display their range, Manny will come into Mosley's range before Manny will be in range to punch Mosley, that is a terrible way to approach this fight and if they do they could possibly get beat since they would be letting Shane do what is advantageous for him.

I don't know which Mosley and Pacquiao you've been watching but Shane will not be able to keep Manny out of range in any way, shape, or form. His idea of footwork is twitching uncontrollably in the middle of the ring. He will be off balance and shell-shocked. And when was the last time you saw Shane counter anyone? How the hell is he going to keep Manny off him- no jab, no footwork, no counter ability, poor defense. If you thought Cotto couldn't fight going backwards, just wait to see how Shane looks trying it

And if he tries rushing Pac and brawling with him, I don't think I need to tell you what the outcome of that 'strategy' will be.

One way or another, come fight night, Brother Naz=

no. pac is going to **** oldsley up. we all know whats going to happen.

C'mon man. Shane is a dumb fighter point blank. Put him infront of a smart "Boxer" ie: Floyd, Vernon or Winky he gets confused and befuddled and stops throwing and gets outboxed. Sure Mosley is gonna get f'ed up but he is gonna let his hands go more then his last two fight. His gonna land flush straight right and ****** sloppy thrown power hooks.

You are the one saying Manny will run around, that is giving Shane room, giving a guy room with a range advantage is one of the dumbest things to do in boxing.

All Mosley has to do is stand in one spot and let Manny come to him and then punch when Manny gets in range. You can not move in and out without leaving yourself open~ and when Manny gets to far in Shane will grapple so Manny will be looking to avoid that since SHane is the bigger man.

Shane is better off the back foot than Cotto I know that for a fact. I don't like Shane off the back foot that much either but it is nowhere near the sign of disaster it is for Cotto.

dude, id love to see it. but i just think that shane is too far over the hill to pull an upset like in the margo fight

Naw I dont think any upsets will be taking place, but the first 4 rounds are gonna be more competitive then people think.

The main reason that Mosley is going to get messed up is his own lack of self confidence...it's written all over him- the way he talks, always wants to touch gloves, his ring indecisiveness, etc. Some of the things he does may be seen as professional or courteous but I see them with him and the way he does them as a lack of confidence.

The other main thing is his lack of foot work and movement. Pac is going to be dancing in and out and side to side as long as the fight lasts. I see Mosley getting overwhelmed by the movement, speed, and explosiveness of Pacquiao. I like Mosley but he is going to get worked over in this fight if he does not have a concrete strategy to win...having to decide what he is going to do while in the ring with Manny will get him hurt.
