Comments Thread For: Roach: If Pacquiao Cripples The Body, Mosley Falls in Nine

[BoxingNation]

Pacquiao clearly hurt Margarito to the body. Mosley better watch out for the body shots.

[Las Vegas,]

What Roach doesn't get is aslong as Mosley is comfortable at 147, he has an unbreakable thick coat. You won't drop him on a body shot, guarantee. If Pacquiao ever drops Mosley, it'll be by one of those punches he doesn't see coming. Pretty much how Vernon dropped him with that uppercut. He didn't see it coming.

I agree it will be all action. But Mosley is like a Cat backed into a corner, this is going to be a war, not a missmatch like some are calling it. I would not be shocked to see Mosley win. I have a sentimental value to Mosley. I like Pac a lot but slightly pulling for Mosley. Hope h does well either way.

If anything, I see Mosley hurting Pacquiao to the body.


Mosley is an underrated body puncher, he's better than Margarito. If a slow plodding, less powerful, slow hand speed having, Antonio Margarito can catch Pacquiao to the body and hurt him, Mosley can do it too.

Thing is, Margarito is willing to walk through anyone's firepower to get to his opponent, Mosley seemed so fearful of Floyd that he started clinching excessively when Floyd decided to bring the heat. Pacquiao's gonna have a much easier time with Mosley in my opinion.

The Racket Squad: One Dance In Hell

This exhibition may well provide some moments of pure action during the initial 3 stanzas.
But the truth is that Shane will require reflexes and stamina that abandoned him over five years ago to capitalize on such instances.
Pac's Power, pace, speed, footwork, will and conditioning are that of a Triple Crown Winner.
He is a pure athlete in his prime and while some older horses such as Shane come out of the gate fast, they always must resign themselves to their chronology.
Going on 40, Shane does not stand a chance of luring Manny Pacquiao into a dark place he cannot escape from.
After 12 minutes, Mr. Mosely will be discouraged, very tired and feeling every year of his career.

The real winner here is CBS.
The number of buys for this thing could drive future Pacquiao fights into a financial PPV stratosphere unheard of before this promotion.
It is the kind of money that Mayweather could have made had his dedication to the sport remained carved in granite.
To beat Pac, you must have devotion, humility and the hands of a Da Vinci.
Casino Floyd will never defeat Congressman Pacquiao.

As for the the ill fated future that looms before Shane:
Manny beats up Mosely- TKO 8.
Common sense will prevail.

[twinchrome44s]

Mosley will make it a competitive fight for the first half but the 39 years will show up by the eight or ninth as did in the Mayweather fight. Its interesting how Pacquiao beats fighters after someone else has already beaten them so there's already a blueprint plus a little draining down in weight doesn't hurt. Mayweather is the only true test out there.

haha...
how long has been pac a welterweight? how many welterweight fights did pac have?
he fought cotto who beat mosley...the delahoya fight was basically a dream fight of two fighters of different weight classes...mosley was already tied to berto so clottey was next for pac...mosley got a shot at mayweather only because mayweather didnt want pac, so enter margarito...

so PAC FINALLY DECIDES TO FIGHT MOSLEY? haha...funny, how long did it take mayweather to fight mosley? HAHAHA, funny, very funny

while pacs last three opponants were the same age as pac...mayweathers last 2 fights were against 36yr old (marquez) and a 38 yr old (mosley)

if pac didnt select mosley as his next opponant, im sure u wouldve been saying pac was ducking mosley...and now a possible 3rd fight between pac/marquez, im sure u gonna say marquez was old if pac beats marquez...if pac doesnt fight marquez 3, then im sure you will spin it around and say pac is scared of marquez...no matter the sitch, you have an answer to hate on pac, hahaha

wow really?
age means nothing
look at Bhop and sexy sergio
you are a tool
look at JMM
they are all over 35 and still performing at peak level
you say that pacs last 3 fights were against fighters his age but how many
wars were they in
how much damage was already done
its like giving credit to pac if he were to fight vargas is way washed up but only 33 i believe
you sir are a fool

By your logic, then no one is as washed up as Pac, considering his two KOs and the numerous wars that he had been in. No one among his opponents has had as many fights or has been in as many wars as Pac.

The fact is that the welterweight division is considered barren today because he cleaned it up, excepting for the vacationer. Just the fact that Ortiz is now ranked as the No. 3 welterweight is a testament to that fact.

I think both are underrated body punchers, but they don't go to the body much anyways.
