Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Won't Be Looking To Knock Mosley Out

[Lorily]

i pick shane to ko pacman in this one.
ariza saying mosley will tire is utter garbage.
shane has gone the distance with ALL the top fighters over the last ten years with ease and beaten most of them.
however,pacman has to make a statement because roaches ego needs him to upstage floyd.
if roach tries to push for the ko during the fight i think it will be a mistake.
although manny is very fast, so are shanes counter shots....see how quick he countered floyd in rnd 2, bearing in mind that floyd is very quick.
he will struggle with mannys speed during later rnds as manny can keep the speed going late on(for some unknown reason) but, it is manny who has to beat a so called "over the hill" fighter who is definately his only genuine opponent who he has similar speed.
cotto isnt very fast and plasterito is a slugger, sniffman hatton was a brawler and clottey was a punchbag and shane mosley is fast.
what does roach say? speed kills.
i pick shane for a 4/5 rnd ko of pacman.
shane will go for it as soon as manny flinches,feints or blinks.
it could even be a single shot but, the first one will be BIIGGG!
now if you dont mind, im going for a poo.

Only one problem with the "Shane has speed" theory - it doesn't do him much good if he can't pull the trigger anymore. It seems somewhat understandable in the Mayweather fight (besides Floyd being a superior fighter I do believe Shane was over trained), but Shane still looked like he couldn't pull the trigger in the Mora fight either. I know Mora is an awkward fighter but Shane still looked to have problems letting his punches go when the opportunities were there.

Honestly though, I do hope Shane comes in 'reformed' from his last few fights. However, something tells me he'll only really be in this fight for the first 3-4 rounds at most. If Shane was frustrated by Moras movement and Mayweathers 1-2 counter punching, then how much more frustrated will he become with a guy like Pacquaio, who'll be constantly moving while throwing 4-5 punch combos all night. Mind you, I know Shane will always have a punchers chance, but I don't think his "speed" will be an issue for Pacquiao. Shane will be looking more to throw every punch with bad intentions, and will get frustrated just like in the Mayweather fight when he either misses or IF his punches don't have the affect on Pacquiao that he thought they would. Shane will expend A LOT of energy throwing those bombs, and if Pacquiao doesn't go down or out from them then I see Shane tiring very early just like he did against Mayweather. You can't get tired or heavily fatigued against Pacquiao without getting severely beatin up.

The most competitive part of this fight will be the first 4 rounds IMO, and Pacquiao WILL be there to be hit while he's delivering his own punches. I see Brother Naaz threatining Shane with stopping the fight after about 6 rounds, with him actually throwing in the towel after about the 8th.

Side Note: I don't see Pacquiao KO'ing Shane either TBH. Not unless he has him extremely hurt at some point and has to finish him off, which I don't really see happening. Shane is a tough SOB and also knows how to clinch. Pac does seem to let off the gas after he knows he has his opponent beat up late in the fight, and starts looking to the ref to stop it so he doesn't have to punish the guy anymore (wasn't Pac also doing that in the ODLH fight before he quit?). If he took mercy on Cotto, Margarito in the last 3 rounds of the fight (Tony looked like he was ready to go) and never really tried to step it up and stop Clottey late in the fight, I can't see him going "for the kill" against Shane Mosely (they've been very friendly during this promotion) - It seems like when Pac is friendly with his opponents he is more content to playfully toy with them (more like competitive sparring) when they're hurt, then to go for the kill. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I can see Pac/Mosely being a little too friendly at times during the fight, by touching up gloves before and after each round (like Pac/Clottey - Mosely/Mora did). I can't stand that ****. Be friends AFTER the fight for goodness sakes.

WEAK **** my dude. Shane was Top Dog @ 147!!!! No excuse. Pac ducked him.
What's the Marquez excuse? Didn't think so.
He says he'll fight anybody from 150 and down well 150 is Jr-middle-wt where you have Martinez begging him for a fight and I'm sure Paul Williams will come down to 147 for a fight. Now you have Ortiz calling him out. Call it what it is dude. You don't just so happen to end up in the ring with 7 fighters in a row coming off HUGE losses. That's a plan being executed.

U just answer ur own question, u mention these 3 guys calling pac out that means manny must be doing somethig right. So u want PAC to fight all 3 names u mention in a night?? And Martinez says he can't make 150, i havent hear Williams calling PAC out and Ortiz can get some to after the Mosley fight if he wants..

Good post but I'm hoping the presence of Jack Mosley back in camp with Shane will help him get in better condition cause you notice Shane wasn't tiring like that with his dad only when he started working with Naaz. There's no way their not conscious of the importance of the late rounds. At least I hope.

As a former fighter when someone calls you out 9 times out of 10 it's because they think they can beat you. Not many people called out Hagler or Hearns and you don't hear many calling out Martinez either. Cut the 3 in one night ******ity. By the way, you can't fight for a welter-wt title weighing 150 again that's jr-middle weight and the limit is 154 so Pac can weigh 150 and Martinez can weigh 154. PBF did it against Oscar. :-)

Cotto coming off a win

Hatton coming off a win

Margarito coming off a win (check this carefully)

Can't remember the others off the top of my head but **** your lies you scumbag

Pac is a welterweight, why the hell should he fight the middleweight champion, are you insane?

fact is pac has the best resume in boxing today, he has defeated legendary fighters at near enough their best weight or at their best weight like barrera, marquez, morales, hatton, cotto etc

you better respect pacman because you are seeing a once in a life time type fighter

yeah, so brave martinez calling our welterweights, why doesnt he go fight supermiddle weights if he doesnt want to fight anyone at 160?

Cut the BS dude. A win against who? Yeah I didnt think so. Pac has a good but tainted resume. Pac's wins were over big name fighters at suspect times in their career. Nothing remotely resembling an undefeated champion, ko artist like Corrales. Manny's best win was suspect and that was over Marquez. Many think that Marquez won those fights. I definitely think he won the last so does Manny. Remember the Manny quote after Marquez 2 "I don't wanna fight him again I wanna fight someone else". What a ****ing champion.

Yeah the brave fighter that threw a monkey wrench in on Arum's BS cause we all know Pavlik was suppose to have an easy night over the jr-middle-wt. Yeah the same jr-middle-wt that's begging Pac for a shot at the very same title he was forced to vacate that Pac just bogusly won.

Wow...you're not the brightest on these forums are you?
