Pacquiao vs. Mosley: It’s going to take more than one shot to take Manny out
February 19th, 2011
By Chris Williams: 39-year-old Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KO’s) hasn’t lost his power, just his ability to fight hard more than three rounds. However, Mosley is going to be problems for Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KO’s) in the first three rounds of the fight on May 7th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mosley has got to put his punches together and not just go looking for one big punch if he wants to come out on top against Pacquiao.
It might take the kind of performance that Mosley put in with his first win over Oscar De La Hoya in June 2000 for Mosley to beat Pacquiao. But I don’t think that Mosley exists anymore. Back then Mosley was able to fight hard for 12 rounds without fading. Now, Mosley is in effect a three round fighter. Sure, he can keep fighting after three rounds, but throws few punches and looks sloppy and tired. Pacquiao is going to eat Mosley up if he runs out of gas early. It’ll be sickening how one-sided the fight will end up if Mosley can’t fight beyond the three rounds without gassing. Mosley has the size and power going for him, but what good will it be if he’s too tired to use it?

Shane Mosley needs to fight Pacquiao just like he did when he knocked out Margarito,he needs to land big right hands constantly,wear Pacquiao down then take him out.But sadly as great as it would be to see Mosley pull off the miracle upset, this in reality is just not going to happen. This is just another predictable Manny Pacquiao beatdown to which Shane Mosley is going to suffer a terrible brutal bashing. It is such a shame the great champ is going to be made to look like another weak easy pickings for bullyman Pacquiao.No such thing as not being able to pick a winner for a Pacquiao fight because he is a protected product,8 world titles against Margarito-joke,against Clottey-joke,Cotto at catchweight-joke,weakened Delahoya-joke,Don’t get me wrong Manny Paquiao is great fighter if not one of the greatest,I just want to see Pacquiao fight a real opponent in a real fight, someone who might beat him for real. Until that happens Bob Arum & co will never let us really see how good Pacquiao really is.
Sugar Shane Mosley will WIN by 8th RD Knockout!!! Manny will be FINISHED after this FIGHT!!!
Funny thing is some clowns here really think that the so called “Slick Black American Fighters” are still the best ones up to this point of time. Boxing has evolved in different races all over the world. For Pachaters, has it ever crossed your tiny little minds that Pacquiao have been sparring black fighters for many years… It’s not something new to him. Don’t be fooled by Bhop, it was just his way to get his buddy Mosley get a fight against the cashcow Pacman.
@Sean
@kantoboy;I am not embarrassed or envious,Manny hasn’t beat up my race of fighters.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Race of fighters? Do you really think that your race is superior than any other race? I really don’t know what skin color you have and I don’t care, Pacquiao will fight anyone including the slickest Black American boxer Mayweather. But where is he?
May 7th, 2011, Manny Pacquiao becomes the face of ESPN Thursday night fights.
Shane Mosely will win this fight by KO.
AT 7/1, I LOVE THOSE ODDS!
GO MOSELY…
@KantoBoy – Dont expect sean to be serious. That retard is a joke.
@Sean
Well you see, Marquez didn’t do well fighting Mayweather at WW division. As Manny Pacquiao the face of boxing right now, do you think it would be more of a challenge in the eyes of the majorities for him to fight Marquez exposing himself in WW division as a joke. Let’s be honest here, do you think marquez would stand a chance in winning against the likes of Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito? C’mon man….
And yet some guys are saying that Marquez is more of a threat than Mosley.. What a joke LOL
@kantoboy; I know you want Mayweather to fight a juiced Paq just to make it competitive. Guess what….Manny should fight fair and square minus the Ariza protein shakes…
@KandoBoy, yet you like Marquez fighting Pacquiao at 147?
Just have your boy match what Mayweather did and fight Marquez at 144. I will accept that. But no way! Pacquiao will NEVER take a fight where he doesn’t have a clear advantage.
BUT MOSELY IS GOING TO BACKFIRE ON HIS ASS…
MOSELY BY KO BEFORE ROUND #9!!!
@kantoboy;Marquez attempted to pull a Pacquiao and fight with an weight stipulation. My people fight you at your best and in your weight class no matter if you are heavier our not. Manny says” he is to small” Mayweather says ‘” I am to good” so come at your best weight!
Tell your idol Floyd to at least have a self confidence to fight Manny with his own abilities with or without stupid and made up testing. Let it be a real warriors challenge and let’s see if Floyd can really handle the Pacmans average C+ boxing skills.
@kantoboy;I am not embarrassed or envious,Manny hasn’t beat up my race of fighters. In fact Manny is taking his first shot at my kind and it’s possible he’ll get KO’d in his first attempt. Keep in mind Manny never defended his 140 pound title because my people were at the top and not some Mexican orange seller or daily help servants.
@Sean, Let the BigBoys(Boxing Commission) handle the testing, not some cry baby tryin to prove something but keeps on hidin.
@White Boy
How about Marquez coming up 2 divisions and fight Mayweather in WW div? OOps not only that, Mawweather added 2 more lbs advantage at fight night to fight a bloated /small Marquez.
Mayweather vs Marquez at it’s best? YES or NO
@kanto; what’s going on crybaby? Tell your idol to get tested and his chin will be checked!!
America really screwed up by giving the Filipino midget the chance to fight here in the US. Now that the Pacman is dominating boxing, just look at these sore losers who has gone mad and about ready to hang themselves out of envy and embarrassment. They will try everything in their power to discredit MPs accomplishments in boxing to cover up for their idols stupid acts. They(HATERS) can cry as much as they want, the fact still remains that the PACMAN is the KING..
Go DONAIRE!
As you see in the picture mosley just could not get the snake in his power punching range very often.was chaseing too much,to sit down on his punches.
Well its all good sean. The problem with this sight is the same for everyone and then we lose our train of thought….
But despite weight leways in the devision fighters negotiate with fighters for the upper hand. U only accept if u think ur better than that person anyway. And when ur tha p4p king, as his next opponent ur gonna wanna beat him at his own game

Mayweather could move up to Middle weight and tell the champ he can’t come in heavier than a Jr.Middle weight but that would lesson the achievement.What’s so special about moving up in weight and not allowing the champ to come in within the class max? You are a Boxing Novice to the core!
————————————————-
again, another stupid remark from an idiot. why do you think the division have leways in them? example: WW is from what weight range? 141-147, jr MW- 148-154, a fighter can basically fight within the range. Why do you insist that a fighter has to be at exactly 147 for a fight when you know that the normal thing to do is come in a pound or two lighter ay weighin to avoid penalties?? are you really that ignorant???
Whoa donkey calm down kid…. Geeese
Oh so he is what its about sean!

@LOU;Yes Mosley is and I wonder why Paq didn’t request RBT from him.@JLOG; What does being AA have to do with Manny being immune to pain? Unlike yourself I’ve been watching Manny for a longtime and I find his recent climb in weight suspect.It doesn’t mean I think he’s not a good fighter-just a cheater in the last 3 years.
====================================
sean, you stupid as can be. if you check your records, you will see that mayweather basically did the same thing. in fact maweather went all the way up to 154 where pacquiao could not go because of his small frame. what? you thinnk mayweather was at 147 his whole career? idiot!
Mayweather could move up to Middle weight and tell the champ he can’t come in heavier than a Jr.Middle weight but that would lesson the achievement.What’s so special about moving up in weight and not allowing the champ to come in within the class max? You are a Boxing Novice to the core!
Nice rebuttel the problem with tha answer is they were former champions. Or current! They r bigger and more relaxed in those areas as far as weight goes.
@cal;Only Manny and he’s fighting the weakest fighters in the class.Plus he isn’t fighting them without weight stipulations so it comes with an asterisk.Does that answer your question? Anyone can do it the way Manny has…
And on the same token if he is novice! What does that make ali and ray robinson! All the greats?! U know nothn
@can MANNY OUTPERFORM;Clottey,Cotto,Margo and possible Hatton will not go to the HOF.Stop dreaming…
Sean who fights in 8 weight classes! But wins in them too.
@nimoyski;Manny has 10 weight classes under his belt and has fought in 8 of them.NOVICE!!
Ha
@sean>better check the records man,Pacquiao starts at Orient Flyweight and ends up to Super welter,,7 division!!!huh!!!
@sean>whats wrong there buddy??
a friendly reply to Mr Big & White boy > if you watch a Pacquiao fight youre witnessing Boxing at its best!discipline,respect,humble and of course!a 6 punch combination with accuracy in a second!!!lets enjoy the figth man!
@nimoyski;Learn more about your favorite fighter before writing false info.
to all the haters of Manny,say what you wanna say,i know your plight,its just simply jealousy and envy,but pls. dont be a moron!!face what’s reality,that a small boxer from the Phil. is an 8th time world champ!5 different weight division champ!once in a lifetime man!!!so watch him again against Mosley and see another future Hall of Famer(Mosley) get destroyed!enjoy the show!!my fellow boxing afficionados!
@LOU;Yes Mosley is and I wonder why Paq didn’t request RBT from him.@JLOG; What does being AA have to do with Manny being immune to pain?

@Mr. Big, boxing is an organization that is standing on stilts after a hurricane. Arum gets away with it because a lot of people get paid when big fights occur. He will continue to get away with it because he schedules fights the average fan “THINKS” he is seeing. A name, SHANE MOSELY (Out of his prime) vs. Pacquiao in the heat of his prime.
The only name that cripples Arum is Floyd Mayweather Jr. When Floyd announces his “Unretirement” in the past and in the future, all of the attention shifts from Pacquiao, Arum and Roach, to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
This ticks Arum off like nobody’s business!
@Biff
You are on target. I don’t know how but Bob Arum does a lot of thing for his boxers. Look at Cotto, he was destroyed by Margarito then he fights for a title against a nobody. Look at Margarito, he was destroyed by Mosley, suspended for a year, return from suspension against a nobody and gets a title shot. What ever he is doing he is good at it.
@Mr Big
I would not say Pacquiao is average but I would give credit to Bob Arum for been a genius when it comes to promoting a fight. Look what he is doing for Pacquiao and for an over rated, no talent Chavez jr. People still making him richer and listening to every word that comes out of his mouth. I have to give him credit, the best promoter.
@Mr. Big, I don’t think Arum fixes the fights, I just think he carefully matches the fights to ensure wins. But in a way you are right because ther is NO OPPONENT that can win a close decision.
REMEMBER THE TWO JMM DECISIONS???
Manny Pacquiao is a very average fighter that wins because Bob Arum fixes his fight and pay the organizations. Manny hasn’t beat anybody on a winning streak or undefeated since becoming a light weight.
@lou, the only difference between Mosely and Pacquiao is that Mosely got caught…
ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME FOR PACQUIAO. REMEMBER, “WHAT IS DONE IN THE DARK, ALWAYS COMES TO LIGHT”.
Say what you want, IMHO Pacquiao will get the worse of this meeting. No way, no how could Pacquiao even last 3 rounds with a 33 year old Mosely.
Lets see how many years Mosely turns back in training camp.
Sean isn’t Mosley the master at taking EPO ? I believe he’s the balco cheat
Mosley is not going to be able to hurt Manny because he’s immune to pain.How can you have a ruptured eardrum and still sing at a concert? EPO will help send more oxygen to your brain thus helping you recover fast from a punch to the head.Shane is in deep 5hit!!
I don’t think Stamina will even be an issue in this fight. The difference in this fight is going to be:
1) The 8oz glove
2) Size
Shane Mosely has NEVER faced a smaller, shorter fighter in his entire career. He has always faced taller, bigger guys that punched down at him. Now he faces a guy that is right in front of him, eye to eye.
Mosely is 46-6-1 with 40 knockouts with 10oz gloves. Mosely fights with the 8oz gloves for the first time.
OUCH!!!
If Manny wasnt able to ko Clottey,do you think that he can ko Mosley?
For everybody who think that Mosley is a 3 rounds fighter it was cause Mayweather imposed the blood testing.Look at the Mosley-Margarito fight
how strong was Mosley,and only 18 month later against Mayweather He became 3 rounds fighter.Frankly this time I think that without drug testing,Mosley will ko Pacquiao,cause He can juice.
WHAT A LOAD OF B######S. Pacquiao is the best boxer out there. When he ko’s Mosley and Mayweather ( If he’ll fight him) Pacman will be a true great. And be in the top 5 of ALL TIME GREATS……..
1) Today’s Mayweather – Easily Beats Pacquiao
2) A Prime Mosely Easily beats Pacquiao
3) A Prime Oscar Easily Beates Pacquiao
4) A Prime Trinidad Easily Beats Pacquiao
5) A Prime Leonard Easily beats Pacquiao
If you measured Pacquiao vs any of the greats in their prime, Pacquiao would lose. Manny Pacquiao is a very average fighter that will get exposed by an aging Mosely on May 7th, 2011. If Mosely is prepared with 12 rounds of Stamina, Pacquiao will fall…EASILY!!!
Whether fans like it or not Paquiao is the greatest P4P ever lived,Pacman would DEMOLISH a prime Mosley.
“Wake up Strawberry, wake up! Get up Strawberry, hey everybody, Pacquiao, I mean Strawberry won’t get up”.
Tell Freddie Roach to keep shaking him…
The only chance that Pacquiao has is if Shane Mosely fights for 3 rounds and then fades. Manny Pacquiao cannot beat a 12 round fighting Shane Mosely.
A 33 year old Shane Mosely annihilates a 33 year old Manny Pacquiao. It wouldn’t even be a fight. You tards had better hope Mosely fades. Its the only chance Pacquiao has…
Manny hasn’t beat anybody on a winning streak or undefeated, berto was to much risk!
mosleys finished now had his time mayweather dominated him and that was over a year ago in a sport were time is against you , its a easy fight against sum 1 that was a name in boxing(but hasnt got it anymore) yet again for manny anther smart move by arum and roach who know manny will beat him already (not even a challange )
The Floyd/Sugar fight should never be used as a measuring stick on how the Manny/Sugar will go. Against Floyd, Sugar did not only land his best punch, he failed to take out Floyd. He gassed out not only because he was old, but because he used the wrong approach-one punch’Knock-out’. He also never landed after round two, not because he froze, but he could not find the slick intelligent Floyd. The Manny/Sugar bout will be interesting based on one assumption, that Manny’s deffence is poor and Sugar will land quite often. This is just an assumption anyway, if Sugar applies the right approach, this is really going to be interesting until the later rounds when Manny will start to dominate.
I don’t even think Mosley can beat Margarito today and did you see Margarito’s face!!?? This is going to be sad.
I think in the Mayweather fight, when he had Mayweather hurt, he used all the energy he had trying to knock him out, on top of the fact that all through the fight he was missing a lot of punches. It takes more out of you to throw a punch and miss than to throw them and land. But he is a shot fighter and going down hill fast. Roach got him at the right time.
If Manny is at his best then he will win. However with all the things he does lets face it he is probably only 50% there, however 50% should be enough.
