If Mosley doesn’t run out of gas, Pacquiao is in trouble
December 31st, 2010
By Dave Lahr: If you bother to look at Shane Mosley’s last two fights, you’ll probably have noticed that his conditioning has horrible. He’s looked tire and even slightly flabby in his 12 round draw with Sergio Mora. But you never know if Mosley might be able to find the conditioning that enabled him to wipe out Antonio Margarito last year.
I think Roach must have been keeping Pacquiao in the slow lane in terms of training all these years, because he’s always been a pretty basic fighter with mostly crude skills. Okay, so if Mosley can get in good enough shape to fight hard for 12 rounds, this is his fight. He’ll beat the starch off of Pacquiao and send him home to the Philippines minus his WBO welterweight strap.
An in shape Mosley is that good. Pacquiao has been getting over based on just throwing massive amounts of punches and taking out his opponents or beating up on Top Rank fodder like Margarito and Joshua Clottey. Mosley is in a whole different league compared to those guys. He’s got a lot of knowledge and ability, as long as his conditioning is there.
It hasn’t been lately, so you have to assume that his problems with running out of gas will likely continue into the Pacquiao bout. But if he can get it together on this one night and fight hard like he used to be able to, then Pacquiao is toast. He won’t stand a chance and will get schooled badly.

WHAT DID YA’LL SAY?? AGAIN?? HAHAHAHA OWNED YAH!!!!
c’mon you guys, Lahr is a 4-year old girl pretending to be a man…she knows nothing about boxing…read all his past predictions on pac fights they were all wrong!
we all can discuss, analyze and disect this fight for what it is: an organized sham.
What will corrupt Uncle Bob say when he bombs out at the box office??
Well fellas, Recap: Mosley beat DLH twice,Cotto beat Shane Mosley, Shane beat Margarito but Pacquiao beat them all not to mentioned Hatton and Clottey….therefore Shane is not going to make it. watched out fellas….
A YOUNG AND OLD STEROID USERS GOING AT IT THE QUESTION IS WHO WILL HAVE HEART ATTACK FIRST
This is all a hype. We know pacman will be Shane.
@Box on, History will write Pacquiao as the hyped make believe that he is. Only Pinoys have bought into this farce hook, line and sinker.
Pacquiao is not GREAT! Pacquiao is not very GOOD! Pacquiao is very, very, average…
A 39 year old Mosely will beat Pacquiao so easily and expose him to the world!!!
if mosley fights like he did against Mayweather he’s lost but if he fights like his last fight hel win. He dont like fighting defensive fighters but for some one to come to him hel win
shane is gonna drop pac girl
If Mosely touches Pacquiao’s chin, the fight is OVER!!!
O…V…E…R!!!!
This is one article that speaks truth. I know Pacfans don’t like Dave Lahr, but he is right on point with this article.
This fight is Mosely’s to lose. Mosely is fundamentally sound. Mosely is as fast, and Mosely is much, much stronger than Pacquiao. Mosely has a 7″ reach advantage. Too much to overcome!
Shane Mosely should begin with a nutritionist, a conditioning coach, and the b est sparring partners. Even a little time with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
If Mosely can find the stamina of the old Shane, this fight won’t even be close!!!!
Shane will beat Pacquiao easily and quite possibly knock him out. See Pacfans, I don’t analyze or assess this fight with my heart as you do, I see their skill levels, and talents and go from there. Pacquiao has feasted on the very slow, and beaten broken opponents.
Shane Mosely is the first African American opponent Pacquiao has ever faced…
PACQUIAO WILL SUFFER A DEFEAT…NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!
The way Pac is going he will fight Ceaser Chavez SR next! Then you pactards will say oh but Floyd didnt fight him or whatever! STFU! Always an excuse to not fight the best.
Dave you predicted Margarito was going to beat PAC. Please keep your comments to yourself and stop destroying this web site!!!
Waddya mean if Mosely doesn’t run out of gas? Lately, he’s good for two rounds only. Didn’t you know that? So what are you saying or did you mean somebody else? This fight is Mosely’s graceful exit from boxing courtesy of the Pacman. So maybe you meant somebody else or you’ve just risen from the dead, eh Dave?
It would be great to see Sugar Shane come to the fight in the condition he was in against Margarito and totally rip Pacquiao’s head off & score the sensational upset that it would be,but unfortunately Shane Mosley is going to suffer a brutal,savage bashing at the hands of Manny Pacquiao either by kayo or a referees stoppage.Lets hope he doesn’t get suffer any lifelong damage,there is no hope for Mosley no matter what he does, take my hat to him for stepping up to face Pacquiao,Mosley has & always will be true warrior,a champion & he will train his ass off,but it will not be enough,no where near it, it’s shame he will end his career this way. Mind you i will be going for Mosley, hoping & praying he might just be able to do something special,but i won’t hold my breath.
Mosley has a good punch, he showed it to Floyd. Mosley is tough, he survived 12 rounds without a scratch nor kd.
Actually, I like this article. He give Mosley a fighting chance. It will make the fight more interesting.
Mr. Lahr, I think this one is kinda logical. I hope you can tell Mosley that. It’s surely gonna be an interesting fight.
mosley won’t have a chance even if he brings a full gas station. R.I.P. Mosley
MOSLEY WILL BE ON JUICE FOR THIS ONE WATCH OUT NOW DONT SLEEP ON SHANE YOU KNOW HE STILL GOT A COUPLE OF BALCO SUPPLEMENTS HIDDEN UP IN THE BASEMENT THAT HE HAD STORED FOR A RAINY DAY. THEY SHOULD DO BLOOD TEST ON ALL FIGHTS I THINK, WHY NOT.
sergio mora aint no push over
good luck on your make over hopes
and your stories are still in the slow lane
get your shyt together
keep it real
now
Lol there you go again Dave fuming mad at Pacman i hope this prediction your making again would be finally come true because all i see and read to your article is nothing but a joke,and i knew if Mosley would lose you will refute again this article that you’ve written..
Laura Laura don’t know nothing about boxing!
This article is spot on and the dumb Pac fans think its just a wind-up.
I pray Mosely takes Pac out early and puts an end to this bull syt
Dave you are on the money
That is IF and ONLY IF….
Pac’s gonna storm him with so many punches that he can’t handle. Just like what he did with Margarito.
IS THAT YOUR ANALYSIS dave liar? I WOULD RATHER HEAR THE ANALYSIS OF MY EIGHT YEAR OLD BROTHER.
Mr. Lahr, you have to understand that the situation won’t change at this late stage for Mosely. He WILL run outta gas by mid rounds tops. It will be a good action fight, no doubts… but Mosely will eventually fold mid/late rounds to Pacman.
hater hater pants on liar.
Hey Lahr if you want that Mosley that beat Margarito you better supply him with EPO Mosley can’t fight without his juice just look at his last two fights. Maybe since he know ‘s Pacquiao juices he’s going to hit up his roid dealer or Maybe he can contact Victor Conte he’s supplying Andre Ward with goodies.
To all readers, don’t be mad at these writers, Lahr, Williams et al. They write negatives about Pacquiao but those articles are good topics. It helps the continuity of his popularity. We readers get angry sometimes for we love our idol, at the same time if they don’t write anything about our idol then their popularity will regress… zapped. Remember, people has short memories. You don’t see your idol on net or newspaper… then they are gone. Vanished… disappeared like … puffffff.
you know what i’m saying?
Mosley has beeen verry lucky ,what with the paydays he has been getting,good for him….Mosley has been around a long time,,,,,and he knows what to do to get the Money…….
Too bad Lahr, Pacquiao delivers 1300 punches and can go another 12 rounds for the second time. Even if Mosley don’t run out of gas, can he get more points to beat Manny? Good thinking but still short. LOL!
I hope they don’t pay these writers.. I’m sick of em.. ESB is way better then this rubbish..
Pacquiao stops Mosley in round 7. If you watch Floyd vs. Mosley, Shane was stumbling, ready to be taken out in the 7th and if Floyd wasn’t such a cautious fighter he would’ve finished Shane in that round.
LOL! Yeah but we all know he will, right after the three round, lamo!!!! Pac wins by KO 5th or 6th rd.
