can Pac do a sugar shane mosley on DLH?

[BubbleBox]

Nope! Pac is too small and won't be able to take DLH lefts!

If DLH can take Floyds combos and still looked pretty...then Pac Man will have no effect.

Too big-a step up!

no not really, let pac be pac. I know what you mean, can pac be a boxer puncher like mosley and the answer is no. mosley is better at this than pac.

thank you guys for the replies. I'm still waiting for someone to extensively explain why Pac can't do a Mosley on DLH.

Reps coming on those who replied. I'm already nervous as to the fight.

Hahahaha, what? Pac is no Shane Mosley. Shane Mosley was a big lightweight. Plus, he's 5'9" and more importantly he had an inch reach advantage on ODLH. Plus, he DOMINATED 135 so him moving up two weight classes made sense because he proved that he at least was an elite 135er. His body would fill out and at least he'd be a comparable size with ODLH at 147.

Pac is 5'6-5'7 and he has a six inch reach disadvantage already. Plus, he hasn't even faced a puncher at 135 and has only fought one fight at the weight. Now all of a sudden he's stepping in with a strong puncher for 147? I don't know about that.

What I don't understand about is why people continue to delude themselves about the matchup. The matchup is horrible. There's simply no way around it. Trying to compare what Shane Mosley did does not even compare to this matchup.

personally I can't see Pac doing a Mosley because I don't think he'll be able to handle ODLH power, it might take Oscar a couple of rounds to catch him but when he does I think he'll crush him. I'll be up for Pac but realisticly I don't think he'll have a hope... could be like Tito-Roy only I think ODLH will go in for the kill and stop him, probably early.
