He has very quick hands and feet, but He's not an improvisor, his timing is not even close to Mayweather's and Mosley old or not is a lot faster than his last few opponents. Manny looked super fast against Clottey and the Cheater, but Mosley is faster than both men.
    Styles benefit Mosley more than Manny on this one.
    Stylewise i always thought Pacquiao/Mosley would make for a great fight and Pac would have a real challenge. & even after the Mayweather fight I'd have given Mosley a solid chance at an upset against Pac, but based on how he fought against Mora i really don't know anymore. As much as i'd love to see Mosley have one last memorable performance, It's very possible that time is catching up with him.

    I see 1 of 2 things happening on fight night, either Mosley's going to summon some ghosts and bring out the best of himself, or Pacquiao is going to do whatever he wants and Mosley will be 2 steps behind the whole night.

      I just don't know if you should take that much out of the Mora fight when thinking about this fight. I don't know where Mosley was at mentally for that fight while I know Mora was up for the task, this fight could really be the reverse of that

      My main issue with Mosley chances is not if he can land right hands, it is if he can land enough to not get swamped to keep him mentally in the game. The best way to beat Mosley is to take him out of the game mentally, it is possible Manny could do this but I don't know if it is an easy task for him considering how he fights.

          Mora is a technical boxer with underrated defense. He is definitely not elite but he is a decent boxer and that's enough to make Shane look bad.

            cause mora was running for his life, while wifebeater was trying to walk mosley down.
