by Sean Lewis: Filipino idol, and multi-division champion Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao will face the always formidable “Sugar” Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 7th. As with any fight with Shane Mosley this promises to be an entertaining fight. Shane will bring his A game and put on a brave, albeit losing, effort. Manny Pacquiao will be, as usual, a wrecking ball of destruction as he attempts to move one step closer to a shot at Floyd Mayweather and the boxing glory that would come with a victory over one of boxing’s best.
With all this being said, Shane Mosley is the perfect opponent for Pacquiao to smoke Mayweather out of hiding. Not too long ago, Mayweather took on Sugar in a mostly one-sided contest that saw Mayweather in trouble in the second round, only to figure Shane out and cruise to a victory. While impressive, I believe that Pacquiao is going to take this opportunity to prove once again why he is the number one pound for pound fighter in the sport. Where Mayweather was hesitant, Manny will be relentless. When Shane drops a bomb on Manny, he will not hold on for dear life, but will return fire. Shane will think he’s fighting six guys in the ring that night as he succumbs to the barrage of punches. Manny will knock him out inside eight rounds.
Unfortunately, Manny believes that Floyd has the same champion’s desire that burns within himself. He thinks that a victory over Mosley will all but guarantee that Floyd will quit his silly posturing and finally make the fight we all want to see. Surely Floyd will hear the public talking about Floyd’s boring victory over Mosley and Pac’s subsequent destruction. This can only play into Floyd’s competitive nature. Floyd will then come out of hiding, and agree to face Pacquiao without any testing beyond what is required by the commission. Boxing fans will then be treated to the long awaited battle between two of boxing’s pound for pound kings. Pacman will win this affair going away, and the question of supremacy will finally be answered. This is what Pac hopes to accomplish against Shane Mosley, but APRIL FOOLS, APRIL FOOLS, APRIL FOOLS……I see Mosley knocking Pac out in round 5
