No. Wrong mang. Mosley is dangerous. Look what he did to yer boy in round two mang. One more shot and yer boy would look like Hatton mang. Mosley can do it to Pac mang, but he's got IT to do mang.

If Pac was not focused I could see that Mosley right putting him down but because he is in best of shape and focused on Mosley I see Pac putting Mosley down and OUT !

Then I hope finally yer boy will sign the contract, stop all the foolishness of testing, just man up,,,go tell him to man up and sign the contract mang.

Wouldn't it be grand mang to see that left of Pacs crack Mayweather right on the chin and see him hit de ground mang !! OOoooooooooo mang it goin to be gooooooddddddddd mang.

u smell what the rock is cookin?

When this Fight is over and the dust has settled, theres gonna be ALOT, and
I mean of Fans on BoxingScene.com, thats gonna be stopping by my barbecue stand, the one where I'll be handing out FREE BARBEQUE , as in "Barbeque CROW" (Squawk! squawk! squawk!), to all the "experts" on this site. To all you ridiculous "sheeple", who dont really get boxing and thee factor of how "Styles make Fights". If Mosley comes to Party, i mean really comes in tip top conditioning, his mental outlook will already be outstanding, since there wont be any "**** talking going on", to frustrate and take away from his Overall mental preparation for this fight. YOU goobers!! seem to not factor in Mosley's exp in the Game, I think Mosley has great timing, anyone who can catch the super Fast Reflex man called "Mayweather", with a Bomb in the 2nd round of a very early fight, we're neither fighter is fatigued yet, must have great "anticipation and timing". Mosley is a great counter puncher and fights Southpaws well(pacman is southpaw) he wont have to chase pacman much,./...look! Pacman has never faced a live welterweight with speed,power,size adv, and exp adv, minus the age, which to me just evens out the fight. Do ANY OF YOU ******* Minions ever remember Pacman and Roach wanting to tangle with the "Sugar Man" as early as 2-3 yrs ago? hmmmm? ..silence, thats what i here now, SILENCE. ...why not you ask? cause they have always known how styles make fights, and mosleys style is problems, big problems for a "small, short arms, short height, southpaw, who is extremly agressive". I dont think pacman can take the power shots of mosley, i think the power and timing of mosley will over come the "work rate of pacman", Pacman is gonna "HAVE TOO" TAKE SOME TO LAND SOME, its that simple, and he aint gonna be able take longer than Mosley if he's in proper conditioning, and thats pretty much mental when it comes to Mosley, if you know the fighter, and have followed his career. This will be his best performance. remember ......Barbeque crow for all, when this ones over!

BoxingScene.com: What will we see in the Shane Mosley fight that will be replicated from the Miguel Cotto fight in Manny Pacquiao?

Alex Ariza: Manny is an exceptional athlete, and he is going to be that whether I'm there or not. But the thing about Manny is that he has that resiliency to break your will. He's going to push you above and beyond what you're used to.

And he's going to make you uncomfortable. It's going to be a battle of wills. So, with Miguel Cotto, around the fourth or fifth round, it became that battle of wills.

But I think that, at that point, Manny demoralized Miguel Cotto. Manny took his best shots. He exchanged punches with him, and, then, Miguel Cotto saw that there was nothing that he could do that he hadn't already done in those earlier rounds.

And then it just became academic. Miguel Cotto switched to survival mode. I think that the Miguel Cotto fight was the first time that you got to see what we had done over the first couple of years that we were training Manny.

That was the first time that you saw Manny really take it to another level. He picked up the intensity and he picked up the volume. He picked up the pressure. He just took it to the next level.

And that was after the eighth round or the ninth round. When you get into those championship rounds, that's where you see the work.

As much as people don't like him, Alex Ariza makes for a great interview. This part^ was nice to read.

haha dats why Pacmang is working so hard mang !!! He don't wont to be thrashing around on his back mang, he wants yer mang Mosley to be on hims back crawling round.

What makes this such a great fight is Mosley is a great puncher with speed. Manny should be one or a half step ahead of Mosley mang, so when dat BOMB is comin mang Mosley gets countered mang with that wicked left hook and since he dont see it mang, its bad for him mang.

How bout you liking to eat Jaybird mang, we might get you some Jaybird to eat mang.

That's fine, I thought mosley was old as dirt when floyd fought him ( now THAT'S a fight that should have happened YEARS ago...) but I still gave him his credit. Let me ask u this. If pac does dominate mosley are you going to give him full credit for the victory? Or are you going to back track and is mosley suddenly going to go from "live welterweight" to "old man" over night? I'm not calling u out, it just seems like there's a whole lot of people making whole lot of predictions, and when they're wrong they immediately start talking **** about the guy they were just sucking on for months. Fighters just seem to, over night become "old", "drained", "washed up", and the victory suddenly becomes worthless. If mosley is a beast today, let's just make sure u hold him in the same regard on May 8, win lose or draw...
