Manny might not be faster than Mosley

[Khalid X]

Not only is Manny faster than him, alot of people are gonna bicker by the fact Manny hits harder than him.

Not only are people gonna be shocked by Manny's power, but also his body punching come May 7th.

Mosley throws a left,then right as he moves in to clinch.It might be difficult but not impossible.If Mosley manages to clinch then this will make it interesting because Pacquiao is not a good inside fighter.

And, how many punches is he going to take while trying to clinch Manny? And, how would he handle Pac quick footwork? Mosley might still have quick hands but can't pull the the trigger quick enough. However, Mosley footwork is pretty slow nowadays.

Mosley's hands are still relatively fast for an old man, but his feet are lodged in concrete and that's the difference. Manny's handspeed is a little overrated but it's his combination of handspeed and footspeed which allows him to land with such regularity on his opponents and avoid the worst of the return fire. Mosley will be hitting a lot of air in this fight unless Manny gives him free shots against the ropes, which I wouldn't put it past him to do. Otherwise, expect a similar fight to the Clottey fight.

It's not the speed that will trouble Pacquiao(he is faster than Mosley at this point), it's Manny's susceptibility to straight right hands and we know Mosley can throw mean right hands.

Watch the way he does this.The shots set him into position to clinch.Clinching is just a defensive mechanism of making the other guy not throw shots.

Yes Margarito is slow but the technic is the same

So you comparing a comeforward stalking Margarito to Pacquiao?

Hmmm....

I was gonna make a thread about that.

Also, I find it interesting that guys like Roach, Roger, Floyd Sr. And others have tremendous respect for Shane and see him a live dog in this fight.

Only people on the net and reporters are saying Shane doesn't have a chance, but almost all of the people in the industry, fighters and trainers give Shane a great chance at pulling the upset off and clearly state that this isn't an easy fight.

Even Manny himself cosigns this as I havent see him take a fight this serious in years.

If Mosley clinches then he wins by murder.Whichever way Mosley wins by KO

You remember Margarito stalked Pacquiao into the ropes many times but Manny would escape later.Mosley wont allow the escape because once Manny backs up Mosley clinches.The fact that Margarito got Manny on the ropes means Manny can be cornered and that's all Mosley needs.

But, at what price? Did you see Marg face after the third round?
