I haven't boxed for a while now .. and stupid grad school means I have no TV to be following boxing, but God damn I hope I can catch a live stream somewhere. It's always great to see Pacman fight !
Whose going to win tonight? Manny Pacquiao Vs. Shane Mosley
Is that actually what they refer to him as or have you just come up with that? Cause either way thats really dumb. Oh and I haven't watched Boxing in uh...Ever, so i'll say Shane Mosely. Why not."

No his nickname is Pacman, because he basically eats up the competition lol.
for those that don't know who he is. He's probably the best boxer we've had this generation.
Maybe I'm just a barbarian, but I can't get interested in boxing. I find it so linear; like it's a contact version of tennis or something.
Wow advertised much? I had no idea there was even this fight tonight. I thought there was going to be more hype or something.
" It's going to be Manny, I'm just not sure if it will be a KO or not. "Yeah, same here. I have confidence that Manny can take Mosely, not sure if it's a guarantee he'll KO him or make him stumble in a round or two. But hey, Manny's surprised us a lot, so I'm excited so see how it goes.
Man, I'm still bummed out that I didn't get to see Pacquiao whip Mayweather's ass last year ! Hoping it would be a good fight today though ..
" Man, I'm still bummed out that I didn't get to see Pacquiao whip Mayweather's ass last year ! Hoping it would be a good fight today though .. "It's the fight everyone wants to see, but i get a feeling it's not going to happen when they are both at their best. Mayweather will drag on negotiations until Manny doesn't have the speed any more and gets worn out. But Manny might end up becoming President of the Phillipines or something by that time and this fight will never happen.
Pacquiao should have this since Shane didn't do so well against Sergio Mora most recently, and Manny is a class above.
Mosley has never been stopped before though, not sure how he will fare as he was looking slow in the latter half of the Mayweather fight.
He could just turtle up like Clottey, but i somehow doubt that.
This fucking fight is a sham while Freddie Roach scrambles to get a Mayweather fight worked out. Pretty Boy Floyd wants 100 million dollars to fight....
Sugar Shane doesn't have much of a chance. Norm MacDonald even bet 25 grand on Pac Man.
Then again he does have gambling problems...
Mosley hasn't been stopped true, and apparently really ready, determined, and prepared, but Manny should be able to wear him down, and win by tko, or decision relatively easily. Pacquiao is a once in a generation fighter, make no mistake, and one of the best fighters pound for pound to ever put on the gloves all-time easily, but he has aspirations way beyond boxing, and he won't be long in the sport at this point, so take the chance to see his pugilistic genius tonight would be my recommendation.
So is Ali. Do you want to put him in the ring tonight?
Mosley is over the hill, 39, and I saw his last two fights. He's not that impressive now.
Whoa whoa...
Hopkins is in a completely different situation. The only fighter in the middleweight/light heavyweight that was any good was Joe Calzaghe who beat him and retired.
His fight against Antonio Tarver was a bit of a sleeper with Tarver thinking he could coast and he lost to Hopkins because of that.
Pacs trained harder than he has done in years and does well against guys that Mayweather didn't look very impressive against. Easy win for Manny. If it gets to the later rounds though I expect him to take his foot off the gas and let Mosley keep his never knocked out record intact. Mosleys over the hill, last win was against Margarito and that was with the whole plaster fiasco.
first round over, Mosley seems to be matching the speed with Manny. But they just jabbed each other mostly.
second round = Pacman gets some good lefts in, they headbutt each other a few times.
third round = Wow Pacman knocks down Mosley... almost knocked out.
fourth round = mosley fighting scared, keeps backing up, dunno how much longer the fight will last.
five - seven = missed some of it, but more of the same, Pacquaio just backing up the bigger Mosley and bullying him.
8-9 = looks like a sparring match, none of them really throwing anything brutal.
10 = Mosley pushes Pacquaio down and it's counted as a knockdown! Pacman gets mad and finishes the round strong.
11= Mosley seems to only want to avoid the attacks and not fighting back. Looks like a beaten fighter.
Every time I see Pacquiao I think back to his fight with, my all time favorite boxer, Oscar Del La Hoya. And then I feel bad for De La Hoya because he decided to come out of retirement just so he could embarrass himself. I now generally route against Pacquiao, but acknowledged he is a great fighter.
The Mayweather fight needs to happen, otherwise nothing else makes sense. Manny can retire if he wanted and be considered an all time great. A third fight with JM Marquez is probably a mismatch since Pacquiao has had a few years to be fighting at 147 so he has muscle experience at that level, while Marquez has just been fighting at 135 the past few years.
Just seen the fight, dissapointing. Shane mosely was just defending and slipping punches all day without actually fighting back. He probally knew he couldn't win. Manny wasn't even agressive at all, keep giving him a high five which slows down the pace even more.
