Pacquiao vs. Mosley - Fight Night talk!

[El Kabong]

Knocking Shane down is a big deal its only the 2nd time in his career he's been down.

Does anyone think Pac lightened up on Shane to make a Floyd fight more likely? I don't know, I didn't watch the fight.

if you take the knockdown in isolation it makes pac look better, pac struggled with the overall style of ssm and couldn't maintain the pace to get him out of there. pbf did take a couple of good shots from ssm but got outboxed.

after the fight in the interview he was asked if the new shoes made him uncomfortable or gave him troubles. pac said his leg was cramping up thats why he performed differently. im not saying thats the only reason but i also think that pac is weary of shanes counter punch. i think thats the major reason why pac fought like that.

Forrest did it 2x. No I watched the fight. PAC is slipping for sure. He is there to be countered and hit Mosely didn't want to try or fight. Seriously after seeing this and the Margarito fight. I'm certain Floyd would eat him up. PBF jab is superior and wouldn't abandon it and would capitalize on the openings presents more than ever. He would also bully and torment PAC on the inside.. Floyd would mix ranges and make it real messy up close.. Floyd presents to many problems for PAC. After Pac's last few fights, the thought that PAC is just going to run in their and roll PBF over with speed and power is plain foolish. PAC has been slipping and has gaping holes. I saw barely an angle or that great unorthodox footwork that gives him those special effect type punches he is famous for. If a 39 year old Carl Lewis of a Mosely can stunt his footwork, than PBF will torture him technically

actually i don't think it is so much Pac slipping as what 24/7 and 360 have been showing us all along...Manny is having too many outside distractions during training camp!!! The celeberty thing and the politics mixed in are just becoming more and more...almost impossible to get a proper camp...I mean they almost blantanly say his real camp begins when he arrives in the States...I don't casre who you are or how good you are a fighter can not face the upper tier on half hearted training camps....

IF a bout between him and Floyd ever does take place hopefully we see him do a FULL camp with no outsider distractions so we get the best fight out of each so the answer is legit on who really is the best.....At this point though both men will be surpassed as the best P4P by another fighter because one trains half assed the other fights on leap years only

I agree. Manny knocked Shane down. Shane nearly knocked Floyd down.
Think Manny-Floyd goes same route as Manny-Shane fight.
1st round: feeling out round.
2nd round: Manny knocks Floyd down just as Shane almost did.
From then on, Floyd's behind a couple of rounds, he starts losing rounds as Manny's throwing, while Floyd's avoiding being hit. At some point, Floyd says, "Screw the 0, I don't wanna get knocked out" and it's all over.
It's a moot point, though.
Floyd Mayweather will never fight Manny Pacquiao. He's too scared. Shane Mosley called it. He'd never seen that much power and speed. And that's including Floyd's speed.
