Manny Pacquiao has chosen one of three opponents to be in the opposite corner on May 7 at the MGM Grand Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas.
The people’s champ will be fighting Sugar Shane Mosley on the said date.
Sugar Shane Mosley is an excellent boxer who is past his prime. Mosley will be closing on 40 yrs. Old by the time he meets Pacquiao in May. Why would an older boxer fight a man like Manny Pacman Pacquiao while the younger fighter is still in his prime? It’s all about money. Sugar Shane Mosley knows his boxing career is coming down to the wire and this fight will put some money in his pockets. Sugar Shane Mosley fans will also tell you he has a fighter’s chance in this bout with Manny because of his quick hands and power.
Manny Pacquiao comes into this fight as the best pound for pound fighter in the world. He has taking on all comers and has come out victorious. Manny has won his past thirteen fights by dominating the competition. He fought the best fighters in the world and he beat them all. The only fighter left that can challenge Manny Pacquiao is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Some people will say Mayweather is ducking Manny because he is scared. Others will tell you this is the fight business. Sometimes egos are so large in the fight business you can’t get past it. I believe it is a little of both. Mayweather Jr. is an undefeated fighter who has gone through the competition like a knife through butter. Pacquiao might be too much to handle for Mayweather Jr. and he may be searching for a weakness. Regardless, this fight won’t happen at least until Pacquiao steps into the ring against Sugar Shane Mosley.
Nobody disrespects Sugar Shane Mosley in this fight. He is a great fighter who is past his prime who will step into the ring against the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Manny will come into this fight like he has in his previous fights. He will be too quick and too strong for the aging Mosley. Mosley will likely get beat up and likely end his boxing career at the end of the fight. Look for this fight to be a mirror image of the Pacquiao/ Margarito fight. Mosley will come in to the fight in the best condition of his career. He will try his best and will get outclassed by Manny Pacquiao. Both fighters will take home their millions and the boxing world will wonder when the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Jr. Fight will take place.
