Mosley's style clashes well with come forward brawlers. In his last two fights he fought a defense first Mayweather and BORING Mora..

Styles make fights and I say this will be a war for however long it last, mark my words. Mosley will train like a Mofo for this fight. Imagine him KO'ing Manny.. all the other possible fights he can take ($$$$$$$)

Mosley is dangerous and should not be taken lightly

Pacquiao is more of a fighter who likes to use lateral movement, as his feet are very fast, rather than come forward. He'll come forward and attack at times, especially if the opponent is hurt, but I suspect he'll look to use side-to-side movement against Mosley. He loves doing that one move where he sneaks in that straight left and then slides to his right. I used to think that would get him in trouble with someone who reacts quickly with a left hook, as Pacquiao would be running into the hook, but no one has been able to do this effectively so far.

That's definitely his weakness. He leaves himself open a lot and will get clipped. Him and Freddy need to work on defense going up against Mosley. If he goes into this fight with the same cr@ppy defense, I got a feeling he will get KO'ed

Style for style I say Morales because he didnt allow him any breaks after he flurried. I dont think Shane can pull the trigger to catch the mistakes Manny makes.

I'd say it was Dela Hoya. That was PAC first welter fight that he was destine to lose.

This is a very different Mosley. He used to be a monster with speed and power, and has always had an iron chin. This Mosley has lost the speed, doesn't have the athleticism, and simply cannot throw those vicious power punches anymore. As for the argument that Mayweather and Mora were 2 defensive fighters that he fought recently, Mayweather actually fought in front of him in that fight because the haters got to him with the whole "running" thing. Still, Mosley couldn't do jack after the 2nd round.

he won't keep up with Pac...

Lets look at Pac's last two opponents. Unlike Clottey, Mosley will actually be fighting to win, and he isn't as garbage as Margarito. Now if Clottey can mark Pac with the few punches he landed, and Marg can hurt Pac at least once, then Mosley has a chance. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't know if Pac's punch resistance at welterweight is what people think it is. If Mosley can land a few good power punches... who knows? I may favor Pac by UD, but this fight won't be nearly as easy as some people think.

That's a Cancer move. Nobody can solve that atm. he's been doing that since his teen age days.
