Comments Thread For: Merchant: Mosley is Capable of Beating Manny Pacquiao

[zzat]

Fight ends in stoppage/ko either way this ain't making the full 12th..

Richardson was close to pulling out shane vs Mayweather in the 10th.. Mayweather hardly throws as much as pac either

If Mosley lands those big shots early like he did vs Mayweather.. pac won't make it out imo. Mayweather weathered the storm.. Pac will probably try fight fire with fire rather then holding and get stopped in the process..

Can Shane land these shots? doubtful i'd say pac wins 7 or 8 out of 10 fights between the two. Pac has never fought someone who can punch like Mosley

Most likely its a late stoppage for pac though

You make a very interesting point: The fight is likely to end in a stoppage.

I remember when Shane was about to fight Margarito. Everybody was talking about how bad Shane looked against Mayorga and how Margarito beat down Cotto. One thing is for sure: It won't be like the Margarito fight for both of them.

Shane has to conserve his energy. Mosley is alot like Zab Judah as to where, they gas out early by being too emotional and throwing too many bombs early. Shane should fight this fight like Hopkins would fight it. By that I means just moving around throwing a jab every now and then and pot shotting. When the 5th hits, he should start trying to get in range for his big shot. In the 6th he should o for the knockout. I dont' think Pac has a better chin than Mayweather or Margarito so he would go down.

Pac's greatest attribute in this fight is definately Freddie Roach. If Freddie can Pac to just box for 12 rounds, he will UD Shane and maybe even TKO him.

I don't think this will sink in for most people until about two weeks before the fight.

so true....Shane is being slept on big time

Great point: Roach will surely come up with a good game plan and if Pac listens well this fight is in the bag. But, this is not to say Richardson won't have a game plan but I know Mosley does not listen very well when he's the one under pressure.

Good hype MERchant, we're all knew that Mosley has a chance, but we're all knew that after giving his best shot he'll would gasping like a dead chimp.

Unknowingly ****** Cheater Mosley got everything to sell while nobody's buying!!!!!!

why do you put kak pictures like that on your avator?

[Arma316]

I see no chance for Mosley honestly. He's old and is only fast those first 3 rounds. And no... He is NOT KOing Pacquiao with 1 shot..

I think Pac will just dance circles around all night long and beat him to the punch time and time again.

This will be Mosley's first stoppage loss.

[bunnybounce]

who cares. neither can beat mayweather.

It has nothing to do with Mayweather, so STFU!

[ghidra]

While I'd like to see Shane pull off the upset or at least make it close, I just can't see how it happens. After the 2nd round with Floyd, Shane barely threw punches. He was mesmerized by Floyd's speed. Manny is around the same speed and throws more punches. While Shane probably won't get knocked out (due to his experience & good chin), I think he'll lose in a pretty one sided fight.

I hope I'm wrong.

Mosely has the power to win this fight. This will be one of his toughest fight IMO because he could get KO'd
