When Pac KO's Mosley, it will just put more fear in Mayweather, more hiding, more chicken talk and etc............

Roach is saying the right things but human nature is humane nature and it would only be natural to overlook Mosley a bit at this point which would make the fight a lot more dangerous.

Impossible to predict that but it is always something to keep in mind.

Cant see mosley getting stopped to be honest. Pac by decision is the safe bet

Pacquiao by TKO/KO. Mosley has a chin made of granite, but the beating will be similar to Margarito. Mosley will be gassed by the 7'th, substaning a one sided beat down. The ref will stop this fight or the towel is getting thrown in.

Love Mosley as a fighter, but he's out of his depth this time. His career stops here.

Pacquiao by TKO/KO late.

I think Pac stops Mosley, Richardson was willing to throw in the towel against Mayweather better believe he'd do the same here, this is a guy lookin out for his fighters best interests.

I find it interesting how Mosley is always referring to his beat down of Marg as being more impressive because he stopped him, as if to say Pac didn't look like doing so before letting him reach the finish..

The article is wrong about the Mayorga stoppage. He actually stopped him with 1 second left in the 12th round.

If read the reports about Margarito's training camp before he fought Mosley and before he fought Pacquiao, you would think they were about completely different fighters. Doug Fischer stated before the Mosley fight that Margarito looked old, slow and completely drained in his training camp two weeks before the fight. However, Fischer went to Margarito's training camp two weeks before the Pacquiao fight and said Margarito looked fresh, focused and much more lively. The Margarito that showed up to fight Pacquiao was much more motivated and in way better shape than the guy who showed up against Mosley. The Marg that showed up against Mosley would have been KO'd by Pacquiao around the same time, 9th round or so...

You are completely right! And he needed that stoppage because he was gonna lose that fight if it went to decision. And that was some highlight reel KO as well...

Yeah I've heard several different reports including the faulty scales in camp. I def think Margarito being KO'ed by Mosley was more to do with weight drain, he hardly threw anything note worthy during that fight & looked totally dehydrated.
