        I think that is their Goal! To Up the Ante and make a much impressive performance than Floyds!! Next after this wil be JMM ass whopping!! Then Pac can retire and Floyd can keep his Chicken Title!!

          Mosley is old and past it but still a dangerous opponent as we saw vs Floyd.

          He can punch, will be the bigger man and will not stand in front o f Pac the way Margarito did.

          I think that there might be something to Pac wanting to KO Mosley to say that Floyd went the distance and he KO'd him, another win for team Pac.

              It's because Amir wasn't allowed to whoop Manny's little ass in sparring this time.

              His handlers told Roach not to let Amir spar Manny so ofcourse Manny is gonna look good. Hell, even superbum Joe Calzaghe looked good when fighting other bums.

              Amir would be a great sparring partner for the Mosley fight.

              But like I've said before, Amir + headgear = Manny's worst nightmare.

                  I don't believe him. Before a fight he always said Manny is doing crappy in training. Then he wins. I think it's the opposite.

                    As good as the reports about Pacquiao are, let's remember that he has only sparred twice in the Phililpinnes.

                    Alex Ariza has been saying that Pacquiao is looking like he did in the Cotto camp- which, according to him, was Manny's best camp.

                    On the other hand, Mosley was in camp before Pacquiao, has been sparring longer, and is using more sparring partners.

                    That said, I don't think there is anything Mosley can do to derail the Pacman. Shane brags about his one punch power- but Cotto took his best shots and hung in there. So, even if Shane lands it doesn't mean good night Manny.

                    Like a lot of Pacquiao's opponents, it doesn't seem like Mosley really understands just who and what Manny Pacquiao really is. It's almost like Shane is underestimating Pacquiao by the way he is going on in interviews.

                    But if we look at Freddie Roach, he knows Mosley well and what he was once capable of. Freddie is not underestimating Shane like so much of the media and pundits are doing.

                    And Pacquiao, the price he paid for "the distractions" during the Margarito camp was truly knocked home the day after the fight when he was curled up in a fetal position in bed pretty much unable to move. Pacquiao knows what is at stake and he's acting like it.

                    Shane is probably going to get the worst ass kicking of his like.

                      manny is motivated for this fight. its the next best thing to fighting mayweather i think thats the reason. he wants to knock out mosley
                      and do better than maywaether did . all the other camps
                      he wasnt that interested in who he was fighting e.g. cotto and the others
                      but somehow mosley might bring out the best in pacquiao
