For 3 rounds until he gasses out and realises that Manny is faster than anyone he has ever faced. He went into a shell as soon as he realised that Floyd was too quick. Manny is not only quick but throws rapid fire combinations at the rate of about 80-100 per round. As if Mosley at 40 is going to be able to deal with it. His only realistic opportunity is landing a homerun.

I say this as a fan of Mosley. If he had been convincing against Mora and won some roudns against Mayweather I would be thinking differently. But he failed to land many flush shots against Mora and took only a round against Mayweather. Hatton performed better than Mosley against Floyd at WW and that is something you just wouldn't expect. In both fights Mosley's looked fatigued fairly early on and it was only heart and will that got him through until the end. He's lost a step and you can't gas in 4 against Pac. It could be messy.

I just don't want to see it. The best fighter in the world can do better than fight a 40 year old who hasn't won in 3 years. It's the kind of thing we always blamed Floyd for doing and here is Manny Pac doing much the same.
Yeah a good tune up for Manny at the best.

Mosley in his prime against Manny now; maybe would be a touch more interesting.

Long controlling jabs are what keep Mosleys style at bay, I cant see that happening with Mannys style so maybe it will be ok for few rounds.

I think Shane will get caught hard in this one.
