Comments Thread For: Hopkins: "Mosley Has Shot To Pacquiao, Who Gets Hit"

[komandante]

Pac agreed to this fight just to shut up BHop's mouth nothing else. After Pac beats Mosley what else is the excuse. Sick and tired of these afro americans who are only good on talking and making excuses.

Mosley only has to land a couple of body shots early and the whole fight is a toss up. Its a tall order though. He's always been at his best when fighters agree to be hit in exchanges. Whats so crazy about BHop saying he has a chance against Pac who agrees to be hit everytime he flurries?

All your favorite fighters are not in my list, it shows you're ignorant of boxing.

Bernard shouldn't talk about "getting hit" after he was dropped twice in the first 3 rounds. Pacquiao is better than Bhop ever was or could have been. And this is coming from a big Bhop fan.

[PEBBLES!]

Don't make me laugh, son.

Pacquiao has built his career on fighting faded champs, catchweight's for mythical belts conjured up by none other than Jose himself and not to mention ducking practically every style of fighter that isn't a flat footed brute.

Pacquiao's career is one big lie.

Pac only beats faded champs? Don't think so.

Pac only beats faded champs? Cotto was no faded champ at that time. Morales was no faded champ at that time. Margarito is only a year older than PAC when Margarito got beat. He knocked down MARQUEZ 3 times in a single round. Hatton only lost 1 before PAC destroyed him better than FLOYD did.

Shane does have a shot!!! He needs to jump on him early because he slowed down heaps against floyd but i will still be backing sugar!!!

let's see what will hopkins say after the demolition of grandpamosley...

There's a myth out there that Manny Pacquiao is easy to hit.


In his last two fights, Pacquiao was only hit 28% of the time and 27% of the time.

The last fight being against a guy who can throw punches in thousands - in that fight he threw over 800 - and then the next fight against a guy who routinely lands around 40% of his shots.


Margarito landed a good percentage of power punches, but he didn't land that many of them. 135.

Not that impressive.


Even so, Shane Mosley isn't going to throw or land a fraction of that amount. So even if Manny is "easy to hit" - which he clearly isn't - I doubt that 70 power shots landed by Shane Mosley are going to have the same effect that a 135 landed by a bigger Margarito are going to have even.

*Yawn

I'm tired of Hopkins in regard to Pac

B-hop is one of the *****s leaders.

everyone has a chance.

shane needs to be smart, he cant out athlete pacman, at 40 he cant

he has to be smart, not chase pac, not tire himself out. he needs to stand

still then when pac comes forward he needs to take a step forward and throw

short sharp punches, just effective stiff shots that will keep pac from flurrying.

he needs to be mindful of his foot work as bhop does, always keeping good

balance always in a good position to react

if shane can stay disciplined he has a great chance, shane has good power,

is taller, has better reach, he needs to use these attributes well.

also, he needs not to overtrain, he needs to have something left for the fight

he cant leave it in the gym like he did against floyd. he learned the hard way

an older fighter needs to work on recovery even more.
