“Nobody can count Shane Mosley out,” Top Rank chief Bob Arum said.“He is a good, good fighter, especially when he fights an aggressive opponent like Manny Pacquiao.”
Arum is counting on Mosley’s toughness being a key bit of danger. The 39-year-old Mosley has never been stopped in a career that has seen him face Oscar de la Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Vernon Forrest, Winky Wright, Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto, Fernando Vargas, and other top fighters.
“Shane Mosley is a dangerous fighter. He is bigger than Manny, strong and he still has his speed. He has never been stopped. He can take anyone’s best punch and come back as strong as ever. He’s so resilient. You can’t hurt him,” said Arum.
“I’m excited about this fight because we know that Shane is going to bring it,” said Pacquiao’s trainer, the celebrated Freddie Roach.
“The fight with Sugar Shane will not be easy. But my prediction is that Manny will win by knockout and become the first boxer to stop Mosley,” he added.
Pacquiao himself is complimentary of his opponent’s abilities. “Shane can still fight. He’s fast and he’s training hard. It’s hard to rate him against the other (opponents). This time he’s determined to shock the world. It’s going to be a good fight.”
The good fight — Pacquiao maintains that he strives to give his fans bang for their major pay-per-view event buck. “My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans,” he said.
“Mosley is bigger than me. He’s fast and his hand speed is still there. He’s faster than most of my opponents. He’s also preparing hard and he’s also good, so we never underestimate our opponent,” said Pacquiao.
