Pacquiao V Mosley
 
I hope that this is a good fight. I have been a fan of both guys most of their pro careers. If I were to bet, I'd say the Pac Man will destroy Sugar Shane. I'd like to see a last round knock out and no controversy.

shane has looked pretty average his last two fights. if he was coming off that destruction of Margarito that I had the pleasure of seeing, then I would say it would be a good fight. based on his last two fights though, I say Manny has him by a unanimous decision.

i think pacquiao will win by unanimous decision. it will probably end up being a boring fight, like the pac-clottey fight. other than mayweather, i thought pacquiao's best challenge would've been andre berto, though berto had a crappy showing and getting his ass beat by victor ortiz.

Looking forward to this fight. I just don't see Pac losing.

Joe, cool to see you mention Victor Ortiz. That fight against Berto was pretty epic and lifts him up after that Maidana fight. Vic is a pretty cool guy, all wakeboarders should root for him. I had the privilege to meet him two years ago at Lake Naci and he was cool as heck. He's even a rider!

stephan, the ortiz-berto fight WAS epic! both fighters going down in 1 round??? nuts!

Ortiz is a hometown boy here. That was a good fight.
Last nights fight sounded like it sucked. Moseley sounded like he wanted to keep his rep of never getting stopped. It's too that Floyd is still ducking manny. Every month that goes by without them fighting, leads boxing fans to another Tyson vs. Holyfield disaster. Floyd will be in prison before he fights manny.

The pacman mayweather fight will probably happen, both out of there primes leading to a boring fight. You put them both in there prime Floyd comes out the winner imo. Can you imagine how good he could be if he didnt spend all his time being a clown.

Yawn.. Man boxing is boring. I totally appreciate the strategy and the quality of this level of a fight, but man is 12 rounds of this boring.

12 rounds of a fight like this, is boring. I will take 6 to 12 rounds of a gatti v. Ward anyday over UFC.

if you think boxing is boring, why did you click on a thread that you knew was about boxing? :D;)

I like boxing and I really like the technical skills it takes, but I also like to see fights finished, even if it is 10 rounds in. I can same the same with MMA. 5 Rounds of a "safe" mma fight is boring. That's all. I want to see paq. go back to finishing fights. That's all. Not trying to start a boxing/mma war.

buffalow 05-10-2011 7:25 AM

I like boxing, been a huge fan for years. I just want to see fights finished, even if it takes 10 rounds. The same can be said for a 5 round "safe" mma fight. I am not trying to start a mma/boxing argument. I just want to see paquio go back to finishing fights is all. Same can be said for GSP in mma.

dakid 05-10-2011 12:51 PM

yeah, i hear you buffalow, but it's not pacquiao's fault that fights are going the distance; his opponents keep running! btw, here's an interesting article on pacman; http://yhoo.it/iAQYSu
