Mosley-Pacquiao: Shane can beat Manny by jabbing him all night

By Allen Hmiel:The Manny Pacquiao myth that he is invincible is a fraud. All it takes to beat the little tiny guy from the Philippines is a hard stiff jab to the face to stop the charging Manny. Thing is, the great match ups all favoring Pacquiao are against opponents who cannot or unable to throw a hard jab to the Filipino face and smash him hard stopping his onslaught in its’ tracks. But Manny is facing all opponents hand picked and suited for his boxing style. Every Pacquiao opponent is incapable of properly throwing a hard jab to Manny’s face.

Hatton and Cotto lead with their faces begging to be hit and trying to absorb as much punishment as possible until being stopped. Never quite figured out what Clottey was doing since he didn’t want to fight and acted like it was an honor just to be there. Margarito tried to throw a jab but he is so slow and washed up it took a minute to land after he telegraphed the punch anyway. Poor starved Oscar was to tired and weak to effectively throw anything and even if Oscar’s jab landed it was like a feather pillow punch. Marquez surely doesn’t have a jab after letting Mayweather come in and batter the short armed Mexican at will.

Great management is creating this pseudo Pacquiao legend as he faces one opponent after another who comes in right at him incapable of throwing a hard lead jab. Do you think the 39 year old Mosley has a jab? Hell No!!! That is why Mosley was pick for this fight. That and being soft and slow and a willing to be hit along with being jab-less. Mosley never had a jab his whole career and relies on speed Now gone). Freddy Roach is a genius and Top Ranks’ Bob Arum is protecting his golden goose Pacquiao by putting opponents in front of Manny who are unable to hurt the little guy.

Manny is being made to look great not by talent, but by facing fighters who are slower, much slower and who cannot throw a jab effectively. Look at the past fights and you will see every opponent is unable to even throw a jab and move away and use lateral movement. Manny is faced with fighting zombies, old slow fighters who come straight in leading with their faces willing to take the punches in hopes of landing a possible good shot. Mosley will eventually fade after absorbing a few hundred fast Pacquiao punches to his big round face which will be a great target. Mosley’s short dinosaur arms will not be able to keep Paquiao off him because Sugar Shane has no jab.

Watch how this next fight plays out with the jab less Mosley getting battered with no defensive jab to help him. Pacquiao is a good fighter with great management and shrewd match-ups against inferior opponents who basically cannot hurt him.
