My guess is, the fight will either get stopped by the ref or Mosley's corner before the 9th round.

    By the way, Shane is one of my favorite fighters, and I hate seeing this happen, just being realistic, I can't see Mosley going the distance.

    Thoughts?
    You know Margarito was really strong and had the stamina to last but didn't have the speed to catch Manny consistently. Mosley has the quickness to catch Manny consistently, the only doubt I have is can he pull the trigger and does he have the stamina in that 39 year old body?

    I know it's the hype but from all the coverage on Manny, I believe he has prepared to go to war. I think like the date the 7th is when it happens.

    Out of all of Pacquiao's recent performances, the one over Margarito might have been the most impressive, Margarito looked huge compared to Manny, and for the most part Pacquiao totally dominated him.

    In re: Mosley, if he wasn't 39 (ancient for his weight class) and I hadn't seen his last 2 fights, I might think he's got decent chance of winning. Like a couple people have already said on this thread, Shane might make it interesting for a few rounds, but it won't be long before Pacquiao gets in his usual rhythm and starts to pummel Mosley, with little effective punching coming back in return.

    Let's not forget that Pacquiao is the #1 P4P fighter in the world, at the apex of his game, and on a roll right now. Like I said in the OP, the only real question is not if Manny wins, but whether or not he can stop Shane, I think he does before the 9th round, unless Pacquiao has mercy on him, like he did Margarito.

    Nice post. I've seen Shane's last two fights too and if Floyd can frsutrate Shane with his speed? What the hell is Manny going to do with him with comparable speed throwing three times as often? Plus in the Floyd fight, Shane's balance still seemed ok, in his last fight Shane was, at times, stumbling around like a drunk.

    People put way too much stock in the size of Pacquiao's opponents and how it would change the outcome, the Margarito fight wasn't at all his most impressive recently. His most impressive would probably be the Cotto performance, because even though it was predicted he'd win he dominated and stopped Cotto. Cotto at least had moderate boxing skill and power. Margarito was all size and nothing left and a shell of the man that Shane Mosley decimated. I don't think Pacquiao's performances should be looked at as impressive because he dominates a bigger opponent. Michael Moorer used to knock out heavyweights that were 30-40 pounds heavier than him but his most impressive win was Holyfield who was the same size. Size shouldn't matter into what makes a performance impressive.

    I think the cumulative effect of Pac's punches landing on Shane will bring an end to the fight late. Everyone saw Floyd rocked Shane quite a bit towards the end of the fight as Floyd shell shocked Shane with his speed...I foresee the same thing happening only with big combinations instead of one punch at a time.

    Shane has a very good puncher's chance, I doubt he'll outbox Pac or even attempt to. I think Shane's best bet is to go to war....Shane's got faster hands than Cotto and a good trainer in his corner...it could be dangerous well into the middle rounds unless Shane gets too tight and starts telegraphing that right hand.

    I stand by my pick Pacquiao by TKO in the 9th
