    I have a feeling Mosley vs Pac is going to be more competitive than most assume..

    Just looking back at May vs Mosley ...

    Mosley was actually making Mayweather miss a hell of a lot, and this is coming from a Mayweather fan, he was also countering well in response; however wasn't hitting the target as Mayweather is so defensively brilliant

    With Manny not being as good defensively, I have a feeling Mosley could actually win, based on Manny's subpar accuracy and defense to Mayweathers' - his speed and power does make up for all this though - guess it all depends on how much Mosley has left in the tank, and whatever is remaining has got to be left all in the ring, that's if he wants a winning chance

    Bob Arum and his cronies may just be barking up the wrong tree this time round ...

    Also, find it interesting that Roach has not coming out with his usual statement on the outcome of the fight ... guess he feels it's much tougher than what was initially thought

      Maybe for the first two rounds. No way would Mosley be able to keep up the pace necessary to be competitive for very long.

        If he can make Pac second guess, it will slow down the tempo to suit him better

          Also Pac rarely goes all out in the first few rounds, it all depends on his opponent i.e. Hatton.

          With Cotto and Margarito, the initial couple of rounds were for feeling each other out.

            Mosley's a great boxer,He's just on the down slide of his career. I know Pacquiao's the Favorite to win the fight,But Damn If Mosley could just dig down one last time and throw another Monkey Wrench into the p4p equation and beat Manny

            The boxing World would have a flip. Which Mosley's going to show up,The beast who beat Margarito,or....

            I'll be rooting for Sugar,and I too have a feeling Ts like the black eyed peas song haha that maybe something special might happen on may 7

            Also I green K'd you bro

                i think we know the answer to this after his last two fights no?

                  Not a lot but in comparison to May's previous opponents, much more than often

                  I highly recommend you watch the fight again, especially the later rounds
