I see this as a dead cert 12 round fight with Shane tiring down the stretch and losing a decision, but I think it could be interesting early, and think Shane has the power to instantly change the fight if he lands.

Certainly he will find Manny a lot easier to hit than Floyd or Sergio Mora, his last two opponents.

Pac should win, but it's not a gimme fight, and if Manny stops him then that would be a very impressive performance indeed.
I agree that Mosley isn't going to be a pushover, Manny will have to earn it, like I said in the OP, Shane has good chin, and he knows how to survive when he gets hurt. (like in the 2 fights with Forrest)
Not that Pacquiao is likely to get much credit for it, but I also agree that stopping Shane would take a remarkable/impressive performance.
Shane does but does Pac? I've never seen Pac hold . When he is hurt he leaves his guard wide open or goes on the run. He never ties up which is what Floyd had to do.

If Mosleygets into exchanges with Pac he may come off second best to the quicker man but if he times his shots and focuses on accuracy then those shots he caught the best defensive fighter with, will catch Pac. Thats when this gets interesting.
