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.

Mayweather versus Pacquiao Fight
Mayweather Pacquiao fight, Pacquiao Cotto ppv numbers and Pacquiao Cotto ppv buys. Very soon, boxing fans will get a chance to watch the biggest fight in the ring: Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather. It is a fight that may make a history both on internet and beyond.
Mayweather, the great fighter that he is may be a favourite in the US to win the fight, but outside the US, it is Manny Pacquiao who rules the hearts of millions of boxing fans.
A Khabrein reader says, “Manny is one of the greatest fighter. He deserve a lot of respect. If the color was only white, he would have known as one of the greatest ever fighter as well. This is for Manny Pacquaio... I would like to salute you for your bravery and showing us an example with all your hard work. Congrats and best wishes to you....”
Another reader says, “If this fight happens and most likely it will, this fight is going to be boring because Mayweather is a boring fighter compared to pound for pound king Manny. Like Manny said he just want to make all the people happy and give them a really good fight”.
Another said, “Mayweather does not count at all. So forget about him. He aint a boxer he should be a clown making fool out of him”.
Manny Pacquiao has earned a name for himself by convincingly defeating Miguel Cotto via 12th-round knockout, lifting the welterweight championship.
This historic fight that will decide the champion is being held after Mayweather expressed his desire to have a fight with Pacquiao.
Mayweather said: "Manny Pacquiao is the fighter and every time someone asks him if he wants to fight me, he says it is up to his promoter, he's going to take a vacation, whatever the answer is."
He added: "I have yet to hear him actually say, 'yes I want to fight Mayweather.' We are the fighters and if one fighter is talking about fighting another fighter, then they should just come out and say it. Manny Pacquiao doesn't say anything directly about fighting me because he might just know it's not a fight he can win." Whatever his comment Mayweather knows this would be the most difficult fight of his life.

Will Manny PACMAN PAcquiao fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.?
Hints at Mayweather fight
MANILA - Filipino boxing great Manny Pacquiao is bracing for two big battles in 2010: a congressional bid and a possible fight against former pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Pacquiao told ABS-CBN's Umagang Kay Ganda on Tuesday that he is bent on running for a seat in Congress in 2010.
"Tuloy iyong pagtakbo ko next year (My plan to run in the elections next year is still on)," Pacquiao said.
The boxing great, however, did not reveal if he will run for congressman of South Cotabato, where he lost in 2007 to Rep. Darlene Antonino-Custodio.
There were reports that Pacquiao is planning to run for congressman in Sarangani province. He is also reportedly being courted to run in Quezon City.
Pacquiao had just snatched the WBO welterweight from Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto, whom he beat after 12 rounds in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday.
The title was the Filipino boxer's seventh. He also holds six titles in six different weight divisions.
Pacquiao is scheduled to return to the Philippines on Friday. He said he will stay for a while in Manila before returning to his home in General Santos City.
The boxer said he would take a vacation until early next year before entering into another fight deal, possibly with the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Asked to pick between Juan Manuel Marquez and Mayweather Jr., he said he would prefer to fight the still undefeated Mayweather.
"I don't think na may manonood pa sa laban kay Marquez. Si Marquez ay tinalo na siya ni Floyd. Siguro bahala na si Bob Arum (I don't think boxing fans will be watching another a fight with Marquez. Marquez got beat by Floyd. I think I would have to leave it to Bob Arum)," Pacquiao said, hinting his desire to face Mayweather in his next fight.
Mayweather came back from retirement just hours before Pacquiao knocked down Mayweather's former opponent, Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton.
There were negotiations for a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight but the talks broke down.
Mayweather instead entered into a fight deal with the camp of Marquez while Pacquiao sealed the prize fight with Cotto.

Who watched Pacquiao-Cotto fight?
Manny Pacquiao’s 12-round annihilation of Miguel Cotto on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) gathered some of Hollywood’s top celebrities along with past and current athletic superstars.
Oscar-nominated actor Mickey Rourke and Mark Wahlberg were among those who watched as Pacquiao dismantled Cotto and completed his mission of winning a record seventh division title. Both actors are known Pacquiao fans with Rourke being a former student of Freddie Roach, the Filipino ring icon’s American trainer.

Pacquiao versus Cotto: A Day Before The Fight
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) – Challenger Manny Pacquiao weighed in just one pound lighter than Miguel Cotto as the Filipino was greeted by deafening cheers from his supporters on the eve of Saturday's WBO welterweight title fight.
Pacquiao, 49-3-2 (37 knockouts), tipped the scales at 144 pounds in front of a boisterous crowd of about 6,500 at the MGM Grand Hotel's Garden Arena.
Puerto Rican Cotto, 34-1 (27 KOs), was right on the limit for the scheduled 12-round bout which will be fought at a contracted weight of 145 pounds.
Although Cotto has won a world title every year since 2004 and will be competing in his natural division, Pacquiao is widely viewed as the favorite.
The Filipino southpaw, who has never previously fought above light-welterweight, will be bidding to win a seventh world title in an unprecedented seventh weight class.
The atmosphere was electric as the two fighters made their way on to a raised stage for Friday's televised weigh-in where former boxing great Roberto Duran and undefeated WBO super bantamweight Juan Manuel Lopez were among those attending.
Shouts of "Manny, Manny" and "Cotto, Cotto" echoed before the tracksuit-clad boxers finally emerged and Pacquiao lived up to his billing as the people's champion by blowing kisses to the fans before he stepped on to the scales.
Cotto, who also wore headphones over a balaclava, then followed. A natural 147-pounder, he told the crowd he had no problem making the weight limit.
"I'm pretty healthy and my strength is too much for tomorrow," the 29-year-old said.
The Puerto Rican will be fighting for the first time since he retained his WBO title with a split decision win over Ghana's Joshua Clottey in June.
Pacquiao, 30, last fought in May when he delivered a stunning second round knockout of Britain's Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand to claim the IBO light welterweight crown.
