Pacquiao-Mosley done deal

[Taeth]

Shane doesn't have a chance here. Let's be honest. And Pacquiao has already proven he's the best in the sport, not in a hypothetical way like Mayweather, but in a very real way.

Also, what's your source that this is a "done deal"?

Pacquiao has proven he's the best? How? Almost everyone in boxing thinks Mayweather beats Pacquiao in a fight. That would mean Mayweather is the better fighter.

People are talking about the fact that Margarito had a perfect style for Mosley to look good agianst, well Pacquiao's last 6 opponents have been picked to make him look good. He has strategically fought guys that have stood there and allowed him to throw huge combinations ring circles around them.

That's why I am really surprised by them taking Mosley, especially after Margarito was able to hurt Manny to the body and actually made Pacquiao feel quite beat up physically after the fight. Mosley is way faster than Margarito or anyone Manny has foughten lately, and he won't be weight drained like De La Hoya, he has a way better chin than Cotto and Hatton. He's stronger, faster, and can punch harder than anyone Pacquiao has faced. Also he's way more mobile than Manny recent opponents. THis is going to be a really tough fight for him, especially how Mosley goes to the body.

Manny might win most of the rounds, but he is going to get hit a lot and very hard. An upset could happen here. Whereas I didn't think it was really possible before.

A fighter can look old in a blink of an eye. Is Mosley a sterner test than Margerito...of course...Tony is a one dimensional bum. But Shane has looked his age in his recent fights. I just have an issue with Pac/Roach going after an aging former champ instead of taking on much more competitive/compelling fights. Especially considering that the last few Pac opponents where either past it or where tailor made for his style (or both). This will be another case of Manny beating an over matched opponent (in this case because of age) and all of us having to hear how it's another example of why he is such a great fighter. I, for one, will not be buying into the hype of this fight.
