Mosley was getting outboxed by Mayorga? Go watch that fight, Mayorga was landing like 10% of his punches the entire night, I hate how people try to use that fight as evidence of anything. Mosley outboxed Mayorga in an ugly affair.

What about Mosley vs Mora? It's always been a very difficult style match up for him, I don't see how it indicates how his fight with Pacquiao will go at all. Remember Morales-Raheem? Then he fought Pacquiao again and looked much, much better than against Zahir. It's totally different fighting a rangy, technical boxer who tries to stay away from your power, then to fight Manny who is moves a lot, but he's open to be hit and he is always coming at you.

I said Margarito would cause a lot of problems for Manny, and on the scorecards he didn't, but you ask Manny about the sixth round and some of the situations he got in where Margarito was getting off uppercuts inside, and he said it was his toughest fight ever. Well Mosley is much faster than Margarito, he hits harder, and his chin has never been fully cracked, the only time it sort of was, was when he got a bad clash of heads against Vernon Forrest way back when. More importantly like I've been saying Manny doesn't really know how to control the space in a fight, he basically has to keep on punching to get his opponent into the position he wants them in, he hasn't learned the footwork necessary to get his right foot outside their left unless he does his big lateral movement which won't be as effective against a quicker opponent.

The biggest difference Mosley has that none of Pacquiao's opponents have never had is really quick feet. Mosley still can move quickly, and Pacquiao will have a harder time getting off combinations if Mosley fights the right way.
