Does Manny stop Shane?

[Mars_ax]

I believe the only question saturday May 7th is not if Pacquaio wins, but whether or not he can KO or stop Mosley. Shane has a good chin, never been stopped and knows how to survive in the ring when he needs to, the question is, at 39, will he be able to take the battering he's going to get from Pacquiao? My guess is, the fight will either get stopped by the ref or Mosley's corner before the 9th round.

By the way, Shane is one of my favorite fighters, and I hate seeing this happen, just being realistic, I can't see Mosley going the distance.

Thoughts?

You know Margarito was really strong and had the stamina to last but didn't have the speed to catch Manny consistently. Mosley has the quickness to catch Manny consistently, the only doubt I have is can he pull the trigger and does he have the stamina in that 39 year old body?

I know it's the hype but from all the coverage on Manny, I believe he has prepared to go to war. I think like the date the 7th is when it happens.

Out of all of Pacquiao's recent performances, the one over Margarito might have been the most impressive, Margarito looked huge compared to Manny, and for the most part Pacquiao totally dominated him.

In re: Mosley, if he wasn't 39 (ancient for his weight class) and I hadn't seen his last 2 fights, I might think he's got decent chance of winning. Like a couple people have already said on this thread, Shane might make it interesting for a few rounds, but it won't be long before Pacquiao gets in his usual rhythm and starts to pummel Mosley, with little effective punching coming back in return.

Let's not forget that Pacquiao is the #1 P4P fighter in the world, at the apex of his game, and on a roll right now. Like I said in the OP, the only real question is not if Manny wins, but whether or not he can stop Shane, I think he does before the 9th round, unless Pacquiao has mercy on him, like he did Margarito.
