Pacquiao-Mosley done deal

[generalbulldog]

He should have fought Berto instead. If Arum could match him up with a no-name fighter like Clottey, why not Berto? IMO, the Berto fight would have made at least 900k PPV buys, if a no name like Clottey who the general public doesn't know can make 700k buys.

Berto is young, undefeated, fast and powerful and a 147 pounder. His defense may be leaky but it would have been new blood and would have been competitive for a few rounds.

This fight with Mosley would have been great after Pac's fight with Hatton or Cotto.

And another thing I don't buy that Berto is an unknown when Pac fought Clottey.

This could shape up to be a replay of the Pac vs. DLH fight. This isn't a fight made for casual boxing fan and not the hardcore. The casuals will disregard moselys age and tune in just to see if Manny can beat him worse than /take that punch better than Mayweather did. Roach loves a fight like this because knows that Mosely can't pull the trigger anymore. The first round or two looked impressive vs. mayweather because Floyd sat back, tried to read and feel out Shane, while Shane was the all out aggressor. Manny goes straight to work. Moselys jab isn't anything to write home about, so don't be surprised to see him blistered with counters through the fight when he flicks out a pitty pat range finder. Enough of those and mosely should go into a shell and he won't be able to keep pace with Manny and it will probably be a massacre.
Theres always the fabled bomb that can land from Shane, but like I said, he's not as quick on the draw as he used to be... and the planets would have to align just right for that to happen. i.e. He's the aggressor against a less active fighter (unlikely in this fight), Manny's moving straight forward or back without punching and not stepping to the side (a no-no since the roach reprogramming), He steps into manny at the same time manny steps into him (he should be late by about half a step, off balance and covering up), He closes his eyes and swings in an exchange and connects tarver style. (could happen). 1 out of 4 is still a chance, I guess. Nazeem better grow some more arms and get some more towels...

This fight will not even be close to being remotely interesting.

Well done to pacroid for finally fighting a welter weight at 147. Major round of applause for that. But lets not forget who he's fighting.

Shane mosley was already old and then he aged a good 10 years between rounds 3 and 12 against Floyd Mayweather. He then went on to look pretty useless against sergio mora, an average fighter at best.

Before that Mosley beat the heck out of Antonio Margarito. An impressive win but was Tony's mind really on the fight that night? taking in to consideration 10 minutes earlier he'd been busted for illeagle handwraps. And let's not forget that fight was the best shane mosley had look in 5 years!

And before that.......

He struggled with Mayorga

Got beat by Cotto

Narrowly edged Colazo who was injured in that fight (correct me if I'm wrong)


To be honest pacroid should stop Mosley, I can't see old man Mosley bringing anything to the table.

Another farce of a pacroid fight.

Lap it up.

Narrowly edge Collazo, haha it was a completely one sided boxing lesson you clearly didn't even watch the fight.

Shane has looked no worse in recent fights than J M Marquez imo. Marquez lost to Floyd in an even more one sided way than Shane did, he also went life and death in fights with Casamayor, Diaz and most recently Katsidis.

Sure Mosely got a draw last time out against Mora, but Mora is an awkward opponent to look good against and virtually everyone though Mosley deserved the win, the HBO team had him well ahead and claimed the result was a travesty.

The cries that he is done and finised are a bit OTT. Marquez is routinely getting dropped in fights nowadays and having to really go to war to win.

I've seen nothing in their last 4 or 5 performances to suggest that Marquez is performing any better than Shane right now.

He struggled far more with Katsidis than Juan Diaz did, and he struggled more with Juan Diaz than Paulie Maliggnagi did.

Mosley has at least KO'd two huge strong fighters in Mayorga and Margarito. Sorry but Marquez ain't doing that to either of those guys,

[0james0]

This just seems like such a backwards step. You fight a guy who has already been taken to school by your biggest rival and whose best recent win is against a guy you pummeled in your last fight.

This fight is about the money, nothing else.

One last big pay day for Mosley, easy money against a big name for Pac.

Ok Mosley beat up a guy that only had one functioning hand. Does that make you feel better? Cuz I'm telling you now it does fuck all for selling the fight to me.

You overestimate yourself in thinking anybody gives two shits what you think.

Well I don't see a cheerleading squad bigging up the pacquiao cock sucking, sycophantic bullshit and down right nonsence you spout. Maybe in your own little fantasy world, you're really popular.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Bil, that was cold.

[Phil]

To be honest I don't think Mosley has much left in the tank, he looked crap against Mayorga, did nothing against Mayweather except for land a good shot very early, other than that he looked very amateurish... then failed to beat Mora...
I think he's getting one more big pay deal before retireing.

[Syntax Error]

Mosley is a game guy with a great chin, but at 40 years old, he is in for the mother of all pastings.

The Mosley of 2001 would have been a nightmare more Manny, but the Mosley of 2011 will not provide him with any kind of test.

I predict a TKO win for Manny, with the ref having to stop the fight in the mid to late rounds.

To be fair Collazo broke his hand in the 2nd round of his fight with Mosley. They had both taken a round each up until that point.

[luvfightgame]

Ok, not the best fight, but certainly not as bad as you are saying.

Dominated Collazo. Check it, it wasn't a close fight, Collazo did hurt his hand early on.
Mora is an ugly fight for anyone, and he beat Forrest, so Mosley didn't do too bad.
Mayweather, enough said.
Margarito was fresh off destroying Cotto, and the prediction for that fight was the same as this one.
Cotto- very close fight, and Shane had Cotto back pedaling the last half of the fight.

Overall, it will be an entertaining fight. And I would pick Mosley to beat JMM so not as interested in the threematch.

This fight will not even be close to being remotely interesting.

[Fenster]

It's not a crap fight but it's not exciting either. Shane has a little KO chance (10%), Pac's record will have a Shane victory on it (90%). I'd chose Marquez 3 all day long over this.
