    Mosley loses the speed contest hands down, if they are firing from equal distance Manny will always get off first and last.

    Shane however can somewhat nullify that if he maintains a good range where he can get off and Manny is out of range, it gets interesting from there because the question becomes does Mosley land from range or does Manny make him miss.

    If Mosley can land consistently from the outside he could have a pretty good night and eventually force Manny to start reaching.

    If Manny can make him miss that first punch with regularity Manny will step in to his range then proceed to land 2,3,4 punches on Mosley before Mosley can tie up.

      Well im gonna tell you my prediction.

      First 2 rounds, really no big contact.
      3rd round, Mosley lands a big shot, Pacquiao slaps his gloves together and hits Mosley maybe 3-4 times in a few seconds.
      4th round, Mosley starts to do that shaking, twitching movement, which doesn't work because he's to old.
      5th round, Mosley is finally floored.

      And I dunno know about anything after that, all I know is that, it's going to be a asswhopping for Mosley.

      I wish Pacquiao would have fought Martinez, if he fought and beat Martinez, I don't think there could be anything that Mayweather could do to ever surpass him, even Mayweather beating Pacquiao wouldn't rank him as high.

      Until then, Martinez is P4P.
      I agree that Mosley will be live early on. By the 5th, Mosley will start to fall apart. I see Mosley taking a beating but hanging on to survive..provided he convinces Nazeem not to toss in the towel.

      Martinez beats Mayweather and Pac, they both know this. My boy has them all shook, he would tax that ass.

        Your right, I love how people try to say Martinez is too big, yea he's be big and skilled, but people want to say it's okay to fight Margarito which is a big slow, unskilled guy.

        If anyone of these guys beat Martinez, no catch-weights, and him not coming down to there weight class, I'd give them credit and won't criticize them anymore.

          I'm going for Mosley...

          There is a reason why this fight happened at this stage of Mosley's career and not earlier...That being said, Shane still can beat Pacquiao due to as others on the board have said, the fact that Pac does get tagged a bit in his fights...Only Cotto had the potential of hurting Manny in the past few fights as Margo and Clottey aren't power punchers...they are more volume guys...

          Shane can work the jab against Manny, but he is not known for having a consistent jab to fluster his opponents and at the same token, that punch is the biggest weapon against him...going for power shots on Shane isn't good because he can throw back, and in this case he ca throw back harder than Pac.

          I have him winning this in 9 as there is no way that it can go 12 with him winning a decision...
