Mayweather Will Defeat Mosley And Then Pacquiao

April 26, 2010 By Lou Block 38 Comments

Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr.  Versus “Sugar” Shane Mosley is almost here.  It is the most anticipated and much talked about boxing event in a long time and likely to break the 2.4 million Pay-Per-View buys record set by Floyd Mayweather Jr. when he defeated Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. After watching the past couple episodes of HBO 24/7 Mayweather/Mosley, I’m excited and can’t wait.

No question, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the cash cow of boxing and the most dominant fighter in the sport today. He is undefeated, walks away from a fight unblemished, and he makes top caliber opponents look like amateurs in the ring. On May 1, 2010, Floyd Mayweather will make all his critics and haters look silly when he stops  Shane Mosley.

While Mayweather’s rival, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao took on a lesser threat in Joshua Clottey, Mayweather takes on a tough gamer in Mosley and unlike Clottey, Mosley will fight back. Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum refused to allow Pacquiao in the ring with Shane Mosley, unless Mosley could make 142-pound catch weight and drained himself like a skeleton.

That is something you will never see Floyd Mayweather do! He never drains his opponents because he knows it would take away from his legacy, he fights them at their weight and let’s them weigh as much as they want because he wants to face the best conditioned versions of his opponents, not drained weakened guys.

Floyd will dance, jab, slip, and counter Mosley all night. Floyd is the Fred Astaire of boxing he can dance circles around his opponents without getting hit flush. Mosley will try to smother and over power Floyd but he will be caught with counter punches, and retreat. I see Floyd breaking Mosley down and cutting his face up and even shutting an eye before the ref stops the fight in the 11th round.

The haters are gonna hate and use the excuse that Shane Mosley was 40 years old and he aged over night. These same haters were complaining about Floyd Mayweather Jr. ducking Shane Mosley in the past, but the truth is Shane avoided a fight with Mayweather because he had a toothache.  Every time Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeats an opponent that the Floyd haters demand he fight, they come up with excuses and look for a new challenger who they claim Floyd is scared to fight.

That new challenger is Manny Pacquiao. A former flyweight, who the haters say Floyd Mayweather feared by looking for a way out of the fight by requesting random steroid blood tests. I doubt Mayweather is scared of Manny Pacquiao a guy who went life and death with Juan Manuel Marquez in two fights, while Floyd Mayweather Jr. dominated Marquez for 12-rounds and was hardly touched in his victory.

The truth is Manny Pacquiao cannot handle slick counter punchers; this is why Freddie Roach carefully guided Pacquiao’s career by making  fights with over the hill legends; Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto.

If Pacquiao mans up and actually steps into the ring with Floyd, Pacquiao’s face will be blistered with sharp counter punches all night. Pacquiao won’t know what hit him; it will look like Floyd Mayweather vs. Diego Corrales or Arturo Gatti all over again. Pacquiao will keep looking to the corner for advice from his Master Freddie Roach but this time Roach won’t have an answer for the Mayweather puzzle.

I like Pacquiao for what he is, an exciting little Filipino slugger with no technical boxing skill.  However, the media and the Floyd haters are building him up as the man who can defeat the true fighter of the decade and pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. Keep dreaming haters it’s not going to happen.

You are witnessing greatness when you watch Floyd Mayweather box. He is a once in a lifetime fighter, the most skilled boxer of our generation and the most under appreciated pugilist. People need to stop an appreciate him before it’s too late.
