Mosley is the toughest opponent Pacquiao is going to face

[toto]

Mosley is the toughest foe Pacquiao is goin' to face. He is much dangerous than Marquez, and Eric Morales (in their 1st tussle). Forget about de la Hoya. He was drained and washed-up then. Would promoter Arum curses himself till Kingdom Come incase upsets happens? Upset ensued after he pitted his dangerous then-undefeated-knocked-out puncher pug Juan Manuel Lopez to the underrated but granite-chinned Salido just to avoid a marquee fight against undefeated Gamboa. What happen? Lopez lost. Likewise in the same event last Sunday (Philippines) hoi-polloi favorite Andre Berto also lost to Ortiz and his probable multi-million dollars fight vs. Pacquiao

Mosley is handpicked for both Pac and Floyd. Look at every time Shane fought after being out of the ring 5 +months or more. He has had his worst performances when off long layoffs.

Mosley should have retired few years ago. He is starting to show the effects of his long career and moving back and forth from 154 to 147 at 36-40 years old is no bueno.

You are crazy!!! This will not be Pacs most dangerous fight. Trying to compare this to Berto-Ortiz, and JuanMa-Salido is insane. Yes Berto was the favorite, but a fight most thought Ortiz had a good chance of winning. Ortiz has always had a ton of talent and Berto's record was always in question. JuanMa was a bit more of a upset to me, but not on the level of Mosley beating Pac. Salido was a quality opponet who went the distace with Gamboa in a highly competitve fight, and JuanMa had a questionable chin by most. Now your're thinking arguably the worlds best fighter is going to lose to a someone who has looked horrible in his last two fight. I don't see it happening. Pac will win in a brutal stoppage.

Mosley from 5 years ago would have been a handful for Pacquiao, but he has no shot against Manny now. Hell the 39 year old Mosley could only manage a draw in his last fight against Sergio Mora and he's going to be Pacquiao's toughest opponent? I don't think so, sad to say, Shane is going to take a beating, and be stopped for the first time in his career.

[Spicoli]

Difference between Mora and Manny is Pac loves to fight, he almost thrives on the combat. This will be Mosley's slim chance as Manny will engage while boxer-movers simulating gloved preservationist baffle an old Mosley. Who ever signed Mora after Mayweather was a dope. Mosley's biggest chance is to attack Manny out right and get him on his heels and into exchanges, his instinct is to fight out not flight out. At some point along the way I can really see Mosley depositing Manny on his backside, power surprising him and Manny needing to switch gears early on. Spanning a career I dont know about most 'dangerous' but maybe I'm off my rocker...I think Mosley is live in this fight. He either ends up looking like William Joppy after Hopkins...or he gets a....hold on here....he gets a tko on Manny I know, nuts.
I'm not stuck in current 'upset' think. Have thought it before it was signed. Styles. Actually like this fight. Going to be many small explosions and frequent points of impact.

............Mosley is the most washed-up opponent Pacquiao is going to face.

[marbleheadmaui]

I think Shane has only the mildest punchers chance. I think he's shot. He was shaking his hands because he couldn't let them go against Floyd. That's a classic sign of a guy who can no longer pull the trigger. He can see the openings, but he can no longer act on them.

Shane has a chance because he's powerful and Manny is really only a lightweight (by today's standards). But I think if Floyd discouraged Shane, Manny will build on that and Shane will not make it through the middle rounds.

Hey man, I am talking here about upset, probable upset by Mosley against Pacman. I am talkin here Mosley as the toughest foe Pac will face. Can you give me the toughest Pacman has face aside from those I mentioned in my original poser? Probably you say Margarito. Shane knocked the shit out of him at the 9th Round. But Marga survived Pacman. He even KO pacman's Mom Dionesia after that flushed left hook he unleashed vs. Manny boy.
You sound as if Shane is just your regular journeyman that has been plucked by Arum to fight Manny. YOu go to BoxingRec and look who were the opponents of Shane. MOra and Mayweather, and even Forest and Wright have the style that do not suit Shane's style.
But Manny? Jesus Christ, his "wait and I'll lick your ass" suit" Shane clashing style. Thus we can not ignore an upset here. This fight could be a Fight of the Year nominee probably much better than Morales vs. Maidana

Journeyman, NO. Plucked to fight Manny, YES to sell a shit load of tickets and PPV's to the casual boxing fan who only sees the names and want to watch this PPV.

yeah thats the art of boxing---but no one wants to see him fight, he stinks out the whole arena with his style. Not getting hit is fine....but not engaging your opponent stinks out the whole arena. ODLH Big shots Oscar was never at the right punching range to get any leverage into his shots, he was crowded up too close to mayweather the whole fight, trying to cut the frikkin ring off/trap him on the ropes. Oscar is not an in-fighter, he needs room, he needs to find his range. I wouldnt say mayweather took too many good anchored, leveraged shots at all in that fight. More like good, stiff arm punches, at best.

What was ODLH biggest payday? What was Hattons biggest payday? Marquez's biggest payday? Which fight (should it come off) is being touted as the the biggest grossing fight of all time? That's Mayweather vs Pacquiao if you haven't been on earth for the last 3 years!

Look at this video if you don't think De La Hoya hit Mayweather with any good shots. There are quite a few on here but look at the one at around 4:50, that was a great shot and it never even bothered him!



Mayweather is a tool no doubt but he is the most talented boxer on the planet no doubt.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Mosley just doesn't have the legs or the output.

[Gandalf]

Crazy talk, Mosley of 4 years ago would have been a quality test. But 4 years is an eternity when you are north of 35. All the decline is setting in for anyone at that juncture, let alone a boxer who has been getting hit on the head for 2 decades.

I will be willing Mosley on as I like the guy and always root for the underdog, but how many fighters beat the PFP best at nigh on 40? It never happens does it?

[0james0]

This would have been a dangerous fight a few years ago, not now.

This will be Shanes last big money fight. Nothing like a good beating for a send off!

This will be like the Margarito fight, only worse. I think we'll get a couple of competitive rounds, but Shane will struggle for the remaining 10.

[killersheep]

Pacquiao will stop Sugar in 6, there I said it. I don't think it'll be a KO, but he's going to get cut and puffy, corner calls it. Pacquiao has many, many dimensions, Mosley gassed against money, and was lucky to escape with a draw against Mora in what was supposed to be his good performance to get back in the lime light. YES he has a punchers chance, but it's a slim one. There's a reason he's paying out 5 to 1.
