This is a horrible fight for me. Pacquiao has a history of taking on fighters who are coming off of weak showings and then putting them away for good. Cotto, Hatton, Margarito, Morales etc. Mosley is one of my favourites and it would tear me up to see him get dominated and stopped. Pac is clear favourite and odds on to win this. Mosley is older than anyone Pac has ever faced and Pac has shown few indications that he is slowing down himself.
Mosley has that punchers chance. He cannot outwork Pac, he cannot match him for speed. Perhaps he cannot even match him for power. Mosley is not known for using his jab or using his reach either, the two areas that Richardson has pointed out as Pac weaknesses.
All the indicators are that Pac is going to dominate and potentially stop Shane.
But, I am firmly in Mosley's corner and I am hoping and praying that he is able to produce something special just one more time. It will change the world, but I'm not sure if it can happen.
