    Does anybody know Mosley's southpaw past opponents aside from Collazo and Winky?

    I think that's pretty much it. He looked good against Collazo and bad against Winky, but I don't take you can take much from either of those fights.

    Unlike Oscar, Shane is a full-time athlete. He's seemed very comfortable at 147 since dropping back down. Pac's speed could give him some trouble, but Pac ain't gonna spark him out like he did Hatton, and Shane is much faster than even a good version of Oscar. It's a great matchup. Neither Hatton or Oscar was able to land anything meaningful enough to check Pac's chin. I would be shocked if Mosley can't chat Pac at some point.

    Shane has never lost a fight to someone without a dominating jab. Pac has developed a pretty good one, but I'm not sure if it's good enough to disrupt Shane's rhythm enough to prevent Mosley's power and size from taking over.

    Honestly, if this fight happens, I'd be surprised if Mosley wins. I have alot of respect for him, but I don't think he'll deal with Manny's speed popping in and out with combinations at this late stage of his career. I'm sure most will disagree, but I think Manny would win.

    Shane needs to watch the Oscar Pac fight again and ask himself "Do I really want to leave the sport in that fashion?"

    He does. But what Mosley has in his favor is the fact he hasn't absent from the 147 division as long as Oscar was. And it's obvious Mosley can still pull the trigger

    Manny has a great chance, but he and his fans should totally disreguard past fights as a reason, mosely won't show up in the ring weighing 112 pounds and mosely dodges punches not block them with his face. Age doesn't mean much, pac has had a ton of fights and mosely just beat margo while divorcing his wife, firing his father, being caught up in the balco crap, and damn near being cheated all at the same time. No one knows who will win this one.

    If the fight is made at 145+ and Mosely can manage to boil down to it then I think he could do a number on Pac.

    Perfect combination of a fighter/boxer as far as beating Pac is concerned... they better hope that they manage to weight drain him.

    I consider the fight with Mosley at a catchweight of 144 as the most difficult for PAC at this stage compared to Floyd (@143), JMM (@140) or Cotto (@143)... Props to PAC for considering the most dangerous fight...

    But Mosley hasn't been below 147 in ten years and while he may be able to pull the trigger at 147, I'd be surprised if he was the same fighter at 144/145.

    Has Mosley ever fought anyone as fast as Pac?

    Mosley need not worry about Mayweather, he just needs to keep doing what he does best and the big PPV will come. If Mosley gots the guts to go down to a catch weight and take a 60/40 split then surely Pacquiao would accept that, Manny would have a lot to gain. Although I like Mosley i'll have to say that he was wrong when he said his loss to Cotto could have gone either way, he lost it. I can see why Mosley is trying to speed up the process (because of his age) but he needs to make sure he doesn't go to extreme with this catch weight otherwise he's gonna end up in Pacquiao's viper pit. Another reason Mosley need not worry about Mayweather is because he may end up with a loss come July 18.
