Why Shane Mosely is Dangerous

[THE REED]

Man, Roy is shotter than ****...a walkin zombie. Tarver took his soul, then Johnson took his balls, then Green took what he had left as a brain...

Mosley is still game, I thought he beat middleweight Mora who isn't as bad as people think and had Floyd hurt like nobody ever had...

Has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

[Luilun]

Mora is a feather fisted Lightmiddle not a Middlewieght Mosley to me looked confused and out box by a c-level contender participant. Mosley has become a joke and a laughing stock if Mosley name had stocks on WALL STREET all invester would be jumping ship cause his name has come to a crash

[$tate of Mind]

Shane is dangerous because Pacquiao has no defense and Shane will bust him up.

[Jack Napier]

only dangerous because he can still punch
that and slight chance Pac is taking him for granted
this really just a tuneup fight for Pac
Shane has only a mild chance to shock him

[freedom213]

ahhh speculation, Mosley's best assests easy his warriors heart, no prisoners. Styles make fights, thats a big catch phrase round here but couldnt be more true in this fight. Mosley knows he wins he wins big he loses he is written off and will never see anoter mega fight payday. This makes Mosley dangerous very dangerous and Pac should be very cautious in this fight. It's all about how pac approaches this fight. I think he decides to throw down the gauntlet and fight Mosley, and he usually does, Mosley has a great chance of winning but if pac fights smart he wears Shane down and maybe stops him but definitely wins.

LOL its funny how that article doesn't mention a thing about the Mora fight

Seriously reaching on most of this...and this is coming from a fan of Shane.

• He’s the first African-American whom Pacquiao will face. If you’re not used to the rhythm and style of an African-American athlete, you could be in big trouble. (Just wow...)

• He’s the only fighter to defeat the legendary Oscar de la Hoya twice. (Oscar won that 2nd fight on alot of peoples cards...)

• He’s the only fighter to knock out rugged Mexican warrior Antonio Margarito who went the distance with Pacquiao. (Only because Pac was afriad he was going to kill Margarito so he took the foot off the gas the last couple of rounds.)

• He’s the only fighter to beat former world lightmiddleweight champion Fernando Vargas twice, both by knockout. (Vargas was always ****. Plus, it isnt like guys like Oscar or Tito wouldnt have beat him again if they had fought twice.)

• Pacquiao has been floored by Rustico Torrecampo, Medgeon 3-K Battery, Nedal Hussein, Serikzhan Yeshmagambetov and Marco Antonio Barrera. (Really reaching on this one)

• He’s trained by the legendary ****m Richardson who also takes care of Bernard Hopkins and IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham. Richardson is known in fight circles as a master strategist and tactician.
(How did that work out against Floyd again?)

• He’s intelligent and crafty. Mosley used a classic boxing style to confound De la Hoya, not once but twice. He even switch-hit to confuse the Golden Boy. Against Pacquiao, Mosley is expected to put pressure on the Filipino icon and force a slugfest. Mosley’s deadliest combination is a left hook to the body and a right hook to the head. Sugar Shane once said he emulates Roberto Duran in the ring. (I stopped at "classic boxing style" while shaking with laughter)

• He has experience on his side. (It means he's old.)

• He fights like Juan Manuel Marquez. (Kill yourself if you agree with this.)

• He’s still got heart. Against Sergio Mora last September, Mosley defied the laws of aging and turned back the hands of time to win the final two rounds in salvaging a 12-round split draw in Los Angeles. Sugar Shane’s display of endurance was an inspiration to all senior citizens. (Against Sergio Mora...)

I was interested until I read: He fights like JMM.

Lol I did the same except I stopped much earlier at this:

• He’s the first African-American whom Pacquiao will face. If you’re not used to the rhythm and style of an African-American athlete, you could be in big trouble.

WTF?

[KingOfBox]

Shane's power may also be his weakness as he may tend to wait for the big right rather than throwing combinations.

Also, can Mosley fight backing up?

Neither of them can fight backing up... and frankly, I don't think they're interested in that kind of match anyway. I don't know or care what the current odds are... If Shane uses a good jab, timing and effective counter punching... Pacquiao is going to sleep. If he could catch Floyd who makes himself hard to hit, he'll have no problem getting to Pac who stands right in front of you. If Shane watched and employed Morales and Marquez' strategy against Pacman he will KO Pacman. Problem with Shane is he is WAY too impatient and doesn't stick to gameplans all the time. Shane has also gotten alot stiffer with age. I've noticed he doesn't offer head movement, has very average footwork, and his hips could use a little oil. All in all, he will have plenty of chances to put Pacman away..
