Post by jim »

Anyone watching? I've got plans Sat. night but I might try to find a place airing it. Predictions?

Mayweather isn't gonna be fast enough to run away from Manny and win the "technical" game. Mayweather is maybe a tick faster than Manny, but Manny's punches actually hurt.

If you haven't seen this, you should watch it. I'm not a huge boxing fan but these are great.

Not to pick nits...

Pacquiao Mosley isn't it? Sugar Shane?

Pacquiao'll win. Doubt he'll ever get in the ring with Mayweather.

Shows how much attention I've paid lately. Forgot that the Mayweather v Pacquiao bout never got done.

Manny will kill Mosley.

I'll probably get it. I usually end up getting most Pacquiao fights. I'm thinking it will be a typical Manny beat down over 12 rounds.

I think Ring Magazine has Manny as the #1 overall fighter in the world, pound for pound. I think it's going to be a great fight.

You do realize it's not Mayweather, right? Mosley is going to get destroyed. It will be another Pacquiao clinic, which is fun enough if you love boxing, but I don't expect the outcome to ever be in doubt (barring a lucky punch).

I think Pacquiao will win but Mosley is no push over and is a warrior. Sugar Shane's handspeed isn't what it once was but he is still very quick and is a skilled defensive boxer. He's no pansy and will mix it up a lot like Sugar Ray Leonard did in his later years. Manny is a beast though and I would have to agree pound for pound the best. Should be an entertaining fight
