De La Hoya: "Mosley Would Crush Manny Pacquiao"

[Majesty]

Mosely is completely different to Delahoya and Hatton though, different style. He has quick hands, heavy handed and an iron jaw. If mosely comes out throwing like he did against margarito then its good night pacman.

mosley had issues with Mayorga's speed. He is gonna destroy Pacquiao?

Margarito was the perfect opponent for Mosley to look spectacular against. But Margarito is slow, plodding, and he telegraphs his punches from mars. Mayorga gave mosley problems because of the angles he came from and his speed. His angles and speed are nowhere near as fast as Pacquiao's are.

I think Mosley would win if he fought Pacquiao but i wouldn't use the Margarito fight as an example of that. I think Pacquiao could trouble Mosley a lot.

Oscar came down three pounds from his last fight, thats not why he was weight drained, it was because he did it stupidly. He tried something new, obviously he didn't get the right amount of fluids back into his body before the fight. I've seen how seriously weight drained people look when they are trying to make weight, and Oscar didn't look like that. He certainly didn't kill himself to make weight, he just must have done something stupid during the re-hydration process because it makes no sense that he would gain only 1 pound.

[Taeth]

Do people forget how easily Cotto was able to land on Mosley? Tie that in with Pacquiao in and out movement, and Mosley has a serious threat in front of him. IMO COllazo would have been to, had he not hurt his hands and actually followed through on his punches. Its a lot easier to counter a guy who's punches don't bother you at all. I know Shane is nigh-impossible to KO, but he still feels punches like everyone else.

That was "Oscar de La Hoya" talking. It was Golden Boy Promotions using Oscar's face. Now go back and ask Oscar his opinion.

I am sorry and I am no means a Pac nuthugger. I think Mosley would be beaten in this fight. Dosen't matter what weight class juniorwelter or welter. Mosley is too old anymore he beat a slow plodding Margarito and gave a good test to Cotto ( in which I thought he won ) Pacquaio would be nothing that Mosley has faced in recent years. Sure Mosley has great speed himself but you can't hit what you can't see. Pac would run circles around Mosley he probably wouldn't knock him out, but win a rather wide desicion.

and you need to remember that Pacquiao is hardly untouchable, Hatton still managed to tag him a bit, and Hatton is nowhere as skilled as Mosley, nor is he as fast, is Mosley's able to get to the weight without problems IMO he'll be too much for Manny, and Cotto has great timing, and his speed in underrated, Cotto himself would be able to tag Manny quite handily

Well about seven miles to the east is the biggest heroin capital in the U.S. ( Trenton NJ ) but our weed is how we say L-Town brown. Not to potent. How's your stuff over there?

I agree 100%. Margarito was there to be hit and was tailor made for Mosley. Manny, Floyd and Cotto all beat him right now. You could see his age in the Mayorga fight plain as day.

Shane would look like De la Hoya following Manny around the ring looking to pull the trigger. There is a lot of Pac hate going on as of late. With anyone he beats, the downgrade of his opponents begin.

He beats Oscar - "Oscar was weight drained". No Oscar was old and could not pull the trigger. He was lathered up big time before the fight in sweat. He also was at the weight weeks before the fight.

He heats Hatton - "Hatton was overrated and ruined by Floyd" No Hatton is what he is. A strong, aggressive face first fighter, on the decline but far from shot.


I think all the Anti-Manny stuff floating around is due to the Pac-hugging on the sight, but to discredit the guy and his accomplishments is shameful.

Floyd
Juan Manual
Miguel

^^ Those are the fighters that I want to see Manny fight. Those are the real risks to him.

It wasnt Mayorgas speed that gave Mosley trouble , it was his size and in the end Shane dealt with him pretty imressivley . The punch stats would suggest Shane was well ahead

Shane outspeed a speedster like Collazo remember . Shanes always been quicker than every opponent hes had.

De la Hoya is still bitter after getting pwned by Pacquiao

I don't see why ODLH should necessarily become a hardcore PacFanBoy just because he lost against him. Saying that he expects X guy to beat him has nothing to do with him being bitter. It's just another prediction regardless of being accurate or not.

[HattonTheHammer]

Ive got ODLH and hatton v pacquiao horribly wrong hence my reservations in commenting on this.

But pacs only chance will be to do something nobody else has managed to do and KO mosley and that aint gonna happen!!

I think he would dance circles around Mosley and decision him wide.

Mosley never dominated a southpaw fighter. he even lost to one.. twice.

Mosley never dominated a southpaw fighter. he even lost to one.. twice.

the ONE he lost to was/is a defensive genius, and a bigger man, in Wright, he's everything Pacquiao isn't, aside from being left handed
