Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Dominates Shane Mosley To Retain

[iloveboxing2]

Good point,,but Manny in my opinion took it easy...

....on Shane, except after Manny got KO'd but Shane's foot.

Shane was turning Manny (circling towards Manny's right) so that Manny couldn't throw his left without exposing himself open. This was exactly what JMM did and has proven to be a blueprint on how to exploit southpaws and styles like Manny's. Manny couldn't use his left properly and he couldn't even use his angles.

Then Shane realized Manny also had a very effective right hand - jab, feint, and specially the right hook. Manny should have used that right more often than the left. I know he used it pretty much effectively but he could have done more and used his left as the feint.

Manny's right hand wasn't there though when he fought JMM the 1st and 2nd time. If they fought again JMM will go straight to the hospital after round 3.

If Shane was half the fighter he was 5-10 years ago that could have been a great fight. But when he got knocked down in the 3rd round it freaked him out and totally changed his mentality and became more concerned of not getting hit than throwing and hitting and scoring.

Floyd could take notes for this fight but then Roach is also. But if there's one guy that can exploit this weakness from Manny and utilize this blueprint of turning Manny to the fullest extent, it would be no one else but Floyd.

However... still I don't see how Floyd will answer to Manny's hand speed and determination. Even if he turns Manny and score high on the score cards, Manny will keep on coming and coming and coming and... Floyd can't run forever. Sooner or later he's gonna get hurt, and just like all other Manny opponents, he'll breakdown mentally.

He's always been for random testing. He compromised to 14 days when Pac said 30... but Pac rejected it so Mayweather said it would completely random if they ever talked again.

Oh really? Show me proof of OSDT in any of his fights before they started accusing Manny. Please... The whole Floydie is a saint and is trying to clean up the sport act is about as transparent as Ricky Martin being a ****. Fact is Floydie is in it solely for the betterment of himself and no one else.

Thennnn.... after the Mosley fight Pacquiao says 14 days when its not on the table. Get a clue; Pacquiao doesn't want to fight Mayweather or doesn't want to subject himself to the same random testing Mayweather would be.

Pacquiao's clean right?

Why even move the 14 day offer if the other guy refused it in the first place? Does it make any logical sense to make the offer even more unreasonable when the other person turned down the first offer? It's like trying to haggle the price of a car.

Salesman (Floydie): 10,000
Buyer (Pac): but I only have 9
Salesman: F that... now I want 12,000.
Buyer: ...

I mean how in the world does that even make sense? If I'm in the car sales business I sure as hell wouldn't be making it more difficult for the buyer (Pacquiao) to buy when I want to make a sale (which in this case all the Floydie fans are saying PBF is the one that wants the fight).

I need a clue? You need to go back to remedial school and learn some common sense. Maybe there you'll learn that the person actually trying to make concessions is the one who wants progress while the one making road blocks is the one who wants none of it.

At this stage in his career, I can't fault Shane for not taking the risks in that fight. He's put out plenty in his career already and has reportedly lost a fortune to his divorce and whatnot; so, if he was surviving for a payday in there, I can't knock him, he's not to blame.

Will you shut the **** up? You don't blame someone for running and making the fight absolute ****? What kind of ****ing boxing fan are you?

I paid $55 for that fight, and Shane Mosley took a giant **** on my chest with that poor performance. And you think he's justified? **** you.

Shane should donate his purse to compensate everyone who paid for the disappointment. I thought he would stand toe-to-toe for atleast ONE round. Nope, he either stood at a distance or ran.


Now, Pacquiao doesn't get off easy either. No killer instinct. Carried Mosley the ENTIRE fight. Too much hugging and and glove touching.

[Digital Hu$tler]

Really? Pac's an animal because he struggled to find a Mosley that's only a shell of what he once was? Wow...

No he is a animal because he hit Shane one time and made him quit who has ever made Shane give up like that?

[badass316]

Really? Considering they already had Marquez lined up for his next fight instead of Mayweather. Sheep.

Why wouldn't they have other fighters lined up for him? Manny ain't going on vacation any time soon and the other side has made it clear they aren't back from theirs.

[SceneSpectator!]

Terrible fight ... yeah Mosley looked like **** ... but that was expected, he looked terrible in his last 2 fights ... but Pacquiao? man he was also terrible! Only one clear shot on mosley and the rest of the figth was a glorified sparring session! Pacquiao had no leg movement, he seemed even slower that he was in his last fights, but worse is that he didn't want the KO, he just wanted the fight to finish and take his money to philippines.

Yeah men, that's it.. just taking an easy money back to the philippines! But what else can he do, except of course when his opponents gaves him a real hard deal in order to give fans a share of excitement!

Tonight convinced me more than ever that Floyd would box the ears off Manny.

Just calling it how you see it.

[switchsouthpaw]

He was also a year older and coming off two twelve round beatings.

Two beatings? He wasn't hurt in either fight, and rocked Soldier Boy badly. Getting your ears boxed off, is far different than saying someone caught a "beating". C'mon son.

[Marduke]

Yeah, let's be honest then....

Before the first negotiations, Pacquiao's not 'roiding. After initially stating they'd (Pacquiao) take any test Mayweather wanted and then backtracking by coming up with ridiculous excuses as to why Pacquiao can't test and then trying to dictate what days the test could be administered..... the guy could be using.

So let's be honest.

HERP DERP some more please.

Yes, it's a bargaining chip. So Pacquiao bargains back, instead of giving in to Floyd's ****** demands.

[Squizz]

I paid $55 for that fight,

Ouch. I knew it would be bad, but not THAT bad.
