The experts picked Pac 16-0 huh? So pretty much everyone agree's that this fight is nothing more than a sparring session against yet another old faded champion.

* sigh *

Go Pac.

Cmon Lead, you know you want nothing else than to see Mosley tap that ass.

Bring out the Floyd in you and start trolling please.

I'm still not so sure about this fight - you have to go with Manny - he is a beast

BUT

I don't think that Manny is physically as strong as Mayweather who stood close to Mosley because of his defense but still got caught - if Pacquiao get's caught with such a shot it is over - and Pacquiao is no defensive genius...

It will be interesting to see - if Shane feels the Power of Pacquiao right away he will be gun shy... and it will be a beating.

If Shane can take it at the beginning and get Pacquiao a few times I can see Pacquiao moving in more careful - we shouldn't forget that Mosley is probably the strongest puncher he faced moving up.

At the end of the day I think Manny will be too much - Mosley will tire fast because he will not be able to relax in the ring - Manny is too fast to relax - so my guess is that he will tire - if Mosley doesn't get him out there in 4 then only a lucky punch will rescue him later on...

Mosley has a great chin - he was with heavier and stronger punches in there as Pacquiao is but you have to see how much he still can take and still wants to take... the first few rounds should be interesting

wow.....not one picked shane..that's ok....it's all good

[southcentralcar]

this shouldnt even be happening.. just like the last pac fight. ****in circus

[GRUSTLER]

This is how it is going to go. Either Shane by KO or Manny Pacquiao by decision. Don't think it is possible that Shane can outwork Pac for the decision. Can't really compare the fight he had with Floyd with the fight he is going to have with Pacquiao. Floyd didn't give Shane any opportunity to get off after the 2nd. Mosley just got beat up everytime he thought about letting go. I can see Pacquiao using his movement and in/out style, throwing combos to tire Mosley out and frustrate him. Not a good thing for Shane to be focusing on his power because that can be nullified quickly with speed and or defense. I would really like to see Shane pull an upset but not going to hold my breath. May be interesting because of the style match up though. Shane never had any luck against boxers and I think his record speaks for the that by the guys he lost to. Shane likes to go toe to toe. Don't see Roach letting Manny fight against Shane like that.

Yes but dont deny people the chance to see a underdog cause a massive upset!

People wish they could have seen Tyson get beat by Buster. Historical moments in history.

If Pac is winning this fight comfortably i dont think he will knock SSM out, as its not always about the ko.

Floyd mayweather senior took SRL 10 rounds just about so i dont see why SSM shouldnt last the distance he has a great chin. He wont have the gas to outpoint Pac though.
