The Pacquiao vs Mosley fight will happen on May 7, 2011 on MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs. While the fight is being categorized as a “walk in the park” by the majority of boxing fans, Pacquiao’s trainer Freddy Roach thinks otherwise. Freddy Roach believes this will be Manny’s toughest fight to date due to Mosley’s handspeed and power. While many boxing fans are not so happy about Pacquiao vs Mosley fight. And the reason is, Shane Mosley (39 years old) is way past his prime and has not produced an exciting boxing match in lately. Mosley’s last two fight’s he has shown all the signs of an aging fighter. Mosley fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. we saw his lack of stamina and the amount of punches he throws. Although he did hurt Mayweather Jr. in the second round he did not have the strength or stamina to finish him off.
Pacquiao with his speed, his ability, and his power he will just overwhelm Mosley with his hand speed, foot speed and amazing stamina giving Mosley a hard time early on. Shane Mosley is going to throw a more punches from all different angles. Mosley will also need to be effective with the jab and attack the body of Pacquiao. He’s much bigger than Manny is, he has a great jaw. We saw Sugar Shane Mosley catch Floyd early on with some hard shots and he almost knock down Floyd.
Mosley will stand toe-to-toe and exchange heat but Pacquiao will burn him with darting movement and blinding combinations. This will be power versus power.
