Breaking down Pacquiao versus Mosley

When two surefire hall-of-famers meet in the ring, there is a huge possibility that it will be a tremendous match, even if the combatants are not necessarily at their primes.

Manny Pacquiao has not looked back since beating Erik Morales in their second fight. Everyone who tried defeat him failed, some failed more miserably than others. Shane Mosley is the next contender and at an advanced aged of 39, he will finally get a shot at the world’s best fighter.

For Pacquiao, the key to this fight is to stay on his feet. There is no possible way for Mosley to win unless he hurts Pacquiao badly. He will need either a knockout or multiple knockdowns to win a decision. Pacquiao’s punch output is on a league of its own and Mosley won’t be able to come near that. Pacquiao will win rounds easily as long as he does not get hurt.

With Mosley’s reach advantage, Pacquiao needs to find the perfect distance; the spot where he will still be able to connect with his punches but far enough to get the chance to evade Mosley’s attacks. He does not need to do anything different on offense. Pop Mosley with lead lefts, attack him to the head and body then move to the side when he throws a counter, and catch him with right hooks every time he tries to attack.

For Mosley, he will need to connect with something substantial and, if you ask me, the only punch in his arsenal that can cause trouble for Pacquiao is the lead right hand. If you ask the best boxing trainers in the world how to fight a left-hander, they will all tell you to concentrate on lead rights. If he catches Pacquiao napping, Mosley has the power to hurt him. The power of a fighter is the last attribute to go for older fighters and Mosley still has the power to hurt anyone in the welterweight division.

Freddie Roach told Pacquiao that they will need to stay in the outside for the first few rounds as this was where Mosley will be at his most dangerous. However, I highly doubt that Pacquiao will heed that call. As soon as Mosley connects with a pretty good punch, Pacquiao will want to get it back as soon as possible.

I see Pacquiao dictating the tempo of the fight from the start. Mosley will have his moments but Pacquiao’s speed will be to much for him. Pacquiao will dominate the early rounds and by the middle rounds, you will see a drop in Mosley’s punch output.

Pacquiao will step on the gas pedal around the sixth round and Mosley will be left behind. Pacquiao will connect with a hard right hook follow by two lefts to knock down Mosley in the eighth round. Mosley will get up but Pacquiao will finish him off with another flurry. Referee Kenny Bayless will call a halt to the bout if Naazim Richardson does not beat him to it.

I have Pacquiao winning by eighth round TKO.

Freddie Roach is ready to part ways with his hard-earned $3,000 money as bet for a win by Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao

HOLLYWOOD – Proof of how confident Freddie Roach is that Manny Pacquiao will knock out Miguel Cotto in their Nov. 14 gig for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown, the celebrated trainer is ready to part ways with his hard-earned $3,000 money as bet for a win by the Filipino ring icon.

Roach said it could be a knockout as early as the first round or late in the ninth or 10th round.

“I put a thousand ($1,000) on the first round. I put a thousand on nine and 10," said Roach point blank after supervising Pacquiao’s sparring session Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) when he went eight rounds with Urbano Antillon and Rey Beltran at the Wild Card gym here.

Roach never doubted Pacquiao is also going to demolish Cotto the way he did previously against Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Eric Morales and David Diaz, to name a few.

And while he initially sees it as a decision win for the Filipino boxing champion, Roach has since made up his stand and predicted it to be by KO.

He even boldly declared that Pacquiao, who later in the night appeared in the popular show Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, can take the reigning WBO welterweight title holder inside one round.

“He (Cotto) gets hit early and if we hurt him early, we’re going to take him down," said Roach of their fight plan.

Roach even mentioned Cotto’s penchant of getting peeved when hit early on, proof of how thoroughly he has studied the Puerto Rican ever since the fight was formally sealed in July.

“If Cotto gets hit early, there will be fouls and there will be low blows. These will be premeditated, so I don’t think the referee have to wait a second time (before disqualifying) him," said the three-time Trainer of the Year.

When showed of a semi-naked Cotto whose well-chiseled body bore a lot of tattoos, Roach vows to add more of them.

“He likes tattoos, so we’re going to put more tattoos, this time on his face," he said smiling.

Further reinforcing Roach’s belief on a Pacquiao win had been the way the 30-year old pound-for-pound king is conducting himself in training camp, now on its final week.

The 49-year old Roach said training is back to normal for Pacquiao following the series of distractions that hounded the camp early on when it was held in Manila.

“I’m happy with everything and he’s where I want him to be," said Roach, who bared the Filipino will spar six more rounds on Thursday and finally four on Saturday before heading to Las Vegas two days later.

But Roach said Pacquiao should be wise enough to avoid engaging Cotto on the ropes, saying “our fight is in the middle of the ring."

“We have to do a good job of staying out of the ropes. Foot speed and hand speed, then picked him apart," said Roach.

Unlike him who doesn’t want to engage Cotto should the champion goes beyond 145 pounds, Roach said Pacquiao is more than willing to fight him at any weight, at any time. “Manny will fight (Cotto) at any weight. Manny will fight King Kong." – GMANews.TV

Who's Next for Mayweather? Cotto, Pacquiao or Mosley?

Don’t out think the room. We are all guilty of it sometimes and I was guilty as can be when I picked Juan Manuel Marquez to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. In retrospect. What the heck was I thinking? Floyd was bigger, faster, stronger, and better.

Last night Mayweather Jr. returned to the ring with an excellent boxing display. He pretty much won every round over an over matched but game Marquez. Now the question is where does Mayweather go from here. Does he wait for the winner of Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto? Or does he fight Sugar Shane Mosley? Let’s take a look.

Pacquiao-Cotto winner
If Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto, it would set the stage for what would be the biggest ‘Money’ fight in boxing. It would be a match-up of the 2 best fighters of the decade. And it would draw in a huge mainstream crowd. Pacquiao’s determination, power and speed would make it a fantastic match-up. Mayweather’s great defence and bigger size would make things very difficult for Pacquiao. This would be the biggest fight in the sport. The sort of draw that boxing needs to have at least once a year.

Now if Miguel Cotto wins it would still be a big event. But it would be a let down from the anticapated Pacquiao showdown. Cotto’s body punching, underated skills, and power would make it interesting. But Floyd would definitely have the advantages going in.

Sugar Shane Mosley
For diehards fans this may be the best match-up. It would Floyd’s first legitimate fight against against a great welterweight. And the 1st fight against against a future hall of famer his own size.(De La Hoya non-withstanding) This fight has been talked about since 1999 but yet it has never happened. It is probably the best fight ‘NEVER’ to happen of the last decade.

Much has been said about Shane turning down Mayweather in 2006 when a fight was proposed. But with a Oscar De La Hoya fight looming with Money Mayweather, it never came about.

The truth of the matter is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Leonard Ellerbe and Al Haymon (Mayweathers’s Management Team) want no part of Mosley. They are flat out afraid to fight Mosley. They will hide behind the excuses that Mosley ‘can’t draw’, and how Mosley is ‘B-side’. But the truth of matter is on paper Mosley is the toughest fight for Floyd, and Floyd has always avoided perceived tough fights. Roger Mayweather and Floyd Sr. are on record saying Mosley would be the toughest fight Floyd Jr could take. Floyd and his advisors care about making the easiest fight rather then securing a legacy and that is sad. If Floyd had any Manny Pacquiao or Shane Mosley in him it would make him a more liked fighter.

Who Should Floyd Fight
He should fight them all. But he won’t. I think Floyd will say ‘No’ to Shane Mosley out of fear. He will come up with some excuse that his fans will buy hook line and sinker. Floyd fans can say what they want but their man is afraid of Shane Mosley. Then he will wait for the winner of Pacquiao-Cotto. He will ask for 60-40 once Pac wins. Which he should not get. Eventually they will probably get down to 50-50. And we will probably have Mayweather and Pacquiao in April or May of 2010. Floyd perceives Pacquiao as an easier fight because of size. But he may be sorely mistaken.

Floyd and his people should not underestimate Pacquiao.

Pacquiao versus Cotto or Mosley?

We all know that Pacquiao-Cotto fight is already set at November 14, 2009. But what does Mosley think of this fight? Here's an interview with Shane Mosley done by philboxing.com. This interview happened last June 19, 2009.

PhilBoxing: Shane, how are you doing?

Mosley: I am doing well, just driving right now headed to a workout.

PhilBoxing: I heard you are a big Laker fan, did you get to see any of NBA Finals games at all?

Mosley: No I didn’t, I just watched. But I was happy to see Kobe and them win.

PhilBoxing: Now back to boxing, what are your thoughts about Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao? It seems to be a done deal almost?

Mosley: The fight does not make any sense to me. A fight with me will make more money. I know there have been numbers going on out there like Cotto making 5 or 6 million and Manny making 10,11 or 12. But in a fight with me, he will make more money. Bob Arum is being the puppet master putting this together, but Manny will make more money fighting me.

And why fight Cotto. He almost lost to Joshua Clottey. It was a fight that he easily could have lost. Cotto ran around the ring in the last few rounds. The fight with Cotto is not the best fight for boxing or fight fight fans, or Manny Pacquiao fans. It is the best fight for Bob Arum. Even if you look at Cotto’s gash, do you think it will heal in time? It might just open up again if he fights Pacquiao. The fans need to know that the best and biggest fight in boxing right now is with me.

PhilBoxing: There has been talk of a catchweight of 144 for Cotto, ironically the weight you disclosed a few weeks ago? Could you come down more?

Mosley: I am trying to make the fight happen. I threw a bone out to Pacquiao saying I would fight him at 144. I am the Welterweight Champion of the World, Cotto isn’t. I am the former Pound for Pound champion, Cotto isn’t. Pacquiao is the pound for champion. We should be fighting. Bob Arum is not letting this happen.

PhilBoxing: But would you fight him at say 143?

Mosley: You now what, it doesn’t matter, let’s say I say 143. Then Cotto will do 143, and then 142 and so on. It is a fight for the Welterweight championship, not the Jr. Welterweight championship.

I just can’t see how a guy who barely won, and a lot of people think he lost. I am one of them. Who gets a chance to fight Manny Pacquiao. I earned this fight.

PhilBoxing: Now back to this money thing. You are telling me that Manny Pacquiao will make more money fighting you, how so?

Mosley: It is a bigger fight. So there is more money out there. I am more well known then Miguel Cotto. You saw all the celebrities at my last fight. Yes there were a lot of fans out were there to see Margarito, but the celebrities were there to see me, because I am a legendary fighter. I shocked the world that night….I have been on more pay per views.

PhilBoxing: What do you say to people who say you are fighting for the money. And that that is only reason why you want to fight Pacquiao.

Mosley: I don’t need the money. I have money. Yes the money is nice. But I want to fight the biggest fights for the fans. The legacy fights. When I started fighting pro, I was fighting for $1,000, $2,000, but I didn’t care because I knew one day I would be world champion and my time would come. I love the sport, you can ask anybody. I love going to gym and sparring. I love what I do.

PhilBoxing: You spoke to Freddie Roach didn’t you about this fight possibly? Elaborate.

Mosley: Yes I talked to Freddie Roach before the Hatton fight. And he said he would rather have Pacquiao fight me because it is the best fight money wise and action wise. Manny would fight me at 147, but Freddie said I would have to come down a little. But he knows that fighting me is a much bigger fight then Cotto. There are 3 pound for pound champions, I used to be, Floyd(Mayweather Jr.) used to be. And Manny is now. I just want Bob Arum to stop lieing to Manny and the public. Manny Pacquiao versus me is a much bigger fight then Cotto.

PhilBoxing: Before Manny signs on the dotted line with Cotto, what would you say to him and his advisors?

Mosley: Do the right thing Manny. Fight the best fight for the fans, and the best fight for your legacy. You have nothing to lose by fighting me. There will be more prestige in fighting me then Cotto. I will enhance your legacy. Whatever Bob Arum money can offer you, I can offer more and then some.

Manny and me are the same. We will fight anybody. If he were to lose to me, I would give him a rematch. That is what I do, I am a fighter. I fought guys nobody would fight, Vernon Forrest, and Winky Wright. That is the same with Manny. You have every thing to gain by fighting me. It is a no lose situation.

PhilBoxing: In closing, what about a Thrilla in Manilla II? Would you fight him there?

Mosley: I would probably do something crazy like that. I would train in Big Bear though before I went. I don’t think I could train out there. The Philippines and the fans there are great and they love boxing.

Thanks Shane

Thank You.

Mosley trying to finalize deal with Pacquiao

The contracts have yet to be signed, but on paper there seems to be at least a little intrigue for a matchup this fall between two of the top fighters in the world.

World Boxing Association welterweight champion Shane Mosley 46-5-0 (39 KOs) said Wednesday that only a few obstacles stand between him and pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao 49-3-2 (37 KOs) securing a catch-weight bout for Oct. 17.

“Now that Manny has stated that he is ready to fight me, the only thing left to finish are negotiations," Mosley said in a released statement on Wednesday.

"(Promoters) Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum are working out the details now. I will be ready to fight Pacquiao on October 17."

While Mosley’s camp was quick to spread the news that the Filipino superstar reportedly told GMA News on Wednesday that he would be willing to fight the 37-year-old Mosley ("No problem. We can fight. As long as we negotiate," Pacquiao said.), Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum, told the Los Angeles Times such talk was premature.

"This has absolutely no credibility to it. Manny hasn't decided who he's going to fight," Arum said. "It could be Mosley, or it could be (Miguel) Cotto, (Floyd) Mayweather Jr., (Juan Manuel) Marquez or (Edwin) Valero. They're all in the mix."

"I've also heard from Manny's people that he wants to wait and see the Mayweather-Marquez fight (on July 18) before he agrees to anything,” continued Arum, who told the Times he was contacted by Mosley's promoter, Richard Schaefer, Wednesday about a possible deal.

“That would mean we won't be ready until November. All that he's said is that he's willing to fight Mosley. But he still has to explore the best deal.”

For most boxing fans the biggest fight looming would be a showdown between undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. 39-0 (25 KOs), and the reigning fighter of the year, Pacquiao.

First, Mayweather would have to get past Marquez in July. Pacquiao, who is filming a movie this summer in his native Philippines, could then decide to set up a multi-million dollar megafight with “Pretty Boy” Floyd.

But “Pac-Man” trainer Freddie Roach said after his second-round knockout of Ricky Hatton last month that he doesn’t want the IBO and Ring Magazine World Light Welterweight champ to be away from the ring for too long.

"As a fan, I'd like to see him fight Mosley," Roach said at the time. “The Mayweather fight may not happen because we don't want to wait for him. Mosley is more dangerous, they both like to fight and his power is dangerous. But Manny is the best, anyone in the world, he can beat all of them."

Mosley, who on Wednesday won a fight outside the ring when a New York State Supreme Court judge upheld his defamation case against BALCO steroid head Victor Conte, said he would be willing to fight somewhere between 140 and 147 pounds and offer a 60-40 split of the purse favoring Pacquaio, who has won 10 straight fights.

"I like to put my skills to the test, I started with Antonio Margarito and now if I had the chance to fight Pacquiao that would be great," Mosley said at the media conference after Pacquiao’s dominant victory at the MGM Grand.

"I tell him in person, let's do it at 147. You want the welterweight title, let's do it and see what happens."
