Can Manny beat Shane Mosley in a welterweight match?

Joshua asked:


If there’s a catchweight of 144 or something I think Manny has a chance; Mosley hasn’t weighed in less than 147 for 10+ years. If it’s a straight up welterweight bout, I’m afraid Manny might get hurt. Shane can make weight at 147 and enter the ring at 160! Thats probably 11 or 12 lbs more than Manny has ever weighed. In addition Shane is 2 1/2″ taller than Manny and has a 74″ reach to Manny’s 67″. Manny is giving up too much size and weight to fight someone like Shane. Shane beat the bricks off of Margarito and Antonio was 160 entering that fight and he’s 5′11″. I think Manny is an incredibly great boxer, but he’s been ko’d twice by guys who didn’t punch like Mosley does. If Manny wins He’ll move into a new level of badass. Shane has never been KO’d and he’s been in the ring with guys weighing 165-167 lbs. Manny’s barely a welterweight at fight time. Risk and Reward have always been the theme of boxing I guess.

    This fight is more dangrous than Manny Pacquio fans realize. Shane Mosley is far from Oscar Dela Hoya and Ricky Hatton. The biggest advantage Manny has had over his opponents is the fast that he’s Faster and more powerful not so much with Mosley. He’s fighting a man thats Just as fast and powerful. Then you have too consider the fact that Mosley has fought as high as 154 pounds meaning that when he isn’t fighting he can be around 165 or 170 Bigger,Stronger,Faster, and more Powerful that anybody Manny as faced.

    I think Manny can come out and Box with Mosley in the early rounds. Once you get past the 5th or 6th thats when Size starts too Matter. I really don’t see him hurting Shane its only so long you can dance around a bigger guy before having too engage him. I think If Manny can Box and keep away then he can win if not Shane should be able too stop him in the late rounds.

    Manny is a superstar
    If he fight Mosley in 142 pounds Mosley may be tired in the final rounds. And shane is already 38 against manny who is 30.
    My money is in Pacman!
    what do u think?

    Roach made clear that whoever want to fight manny has to come down to 142.
    Nothing more than 142 ,so there is no way it is gonna happen at 144 or 147 , 142 is the top limit and Roach made it as clear as it can be!
    So the question is, can Mosley win over Pacman at 142??
    The answer is NO.

    If the catch weight is between 142-144 then I think Pacquiao has greater odds than Mosley of winning, but if the catch weight is at 147 then Manny’s chances become slimmer but he still has a chance.
