I think that Mosley will try to box Manny in this fight. Do YOU....................

[savorduhflavor]

Mosley is not a skillful fighter really, he's a speedy brawler. He doesn't have a jab and he's not a great counter puncher, how's he gonna out box Pac?

If Shane gets on his toes and tries to box Pac he's gonna get eaten alive. His best bet is to outlast him cause he can take more punishment and can punch himself.

[Carpe Diem]

If Shane doesn't keep far enough spacing/range, and use his feet, then it'll be a massacre by Manny.

think that he has the skills to be able to out box Manny?

I think Mosley will stay all the way out and let Manny come in and hopefully walk into something......

It will be a closer fight than what people think. I really dont think that Manny can go in there and knock Mosley out. If he does, I will give Manny props and eat crow, but again, I dont think he can knock Mosley out.....

Manny's work rate will have him ducking and holding on for dear life.
There won't be any time to box. Mosley's only chance is to hope Pacquaio walks into a big strait right hand in the early rounds.

No i think it will be the other way around. Pac will not engage mosley like he did his previous opponents.

See, I see it the other way around, I dont think ****m will allow following Manny around the ring to be part of the game plan...

I think Mosley stays away and tries to catch Manny coming in....

****m and Mosley were watching the Pac/JMM rematch during fightcamp... means they are gonna try and counterpunch pac.

pac should still be sucessful if he can use angles and movement.

IMHO, mosley waiting on pac is a horrible idea

Not necessarily box, but stay away, paw with the jab, and catch Manny coming in..... He will miss a lot though, but will catch Manny a couple of times....

I really, really, really, dont think he will follow Manny around the ring....

I would disagree kind of, Mosley has skills but has trouble when he is out skilled and quite frankly he looks terrible when out skilled.

I don't know if Manny has the sort of skills to take Mosley's skill set out of the game like that.

If Mosley sticks to basics, fights tall and smothers Manny after Mosley gets his off he has a shot.

I dont think he will wait though.... He will be an active counter puncher and stay all the way outside.....

I just feel that you cant follow Pac, because his foot speed is so good, and he is so fast that he cant counter punch.....


And the last time Mosley followed someone around the ring and threw a lot of punches (even though it was at 154) was against Mora, and he gassed out that fight....

[goblin213]

The only way he can win is by KO. If he tries to box Pacquiao then he's in for a long night. I like Mosley but even in his prime he was never the type that outboxes an opponent, he's not the thinking counter punching type. He's a fast slugger with leaky defense. He was very effective in his prime because he was very quick and has devastating power.

That only work when his opponent is at close tight range, anything he throws will reach or hit his opponent. If the opponent is in far distance away, he'll have no choice but to lunge in, unless his opponent get careless and lunging in himself.
