No, but if you're going to take this thread off-topic by talking about Mayweather then I simply can't be bothered with replying. Ta ra, loser.

As a big fan over the Mosley over the years, he isn't the fighter who jumped from lightweight to welter to beat De La Hoya. I say beat 'loosely' because we know Mosley was juiced up for the rematch with Oscar.

But look, Mosley was completely outboxed by Mayweather last year and looked like he was gassed after 3 rounds!

Not to forget the draw against Mora in his last fight.

Against Pacquiao, he will be at the end of Pacquiao's superior boxing skills - much like he was against Winky Wright.

Simple conclusion; Mosley has no chance and will be destroyed.

Time for Pacquiao to take the trilogy against Manuel Marquez or otherwise agree to random drug testing with no cut-off period for Mayweather.

Mosley needs to use his jab and excellent right hook to the body to negate Mannys hand speed and aggression. I think he will pace himself better than he did against Mayweather he was to gung ho at the start of the fight and tired early.

Mosely's mind will see the many openings Manny leaves. But his body will not respond quick enough to take advantage of it.

I've got some drink to consume and a fiance to watch TV with later once my ickle one is in bed

Instead of all that I wish I had some Manny posters to stare at with a pack of kleenex at the ready

I know you will be supporting Manny, but look at it from a neutral's point of view. How do you honestly see it?

Mosley is a huge puncher, he will hit Pacquiao harder than he has hit before, he also has an iron chin and good hand speed.

Mosley doesn't move around has well and not as technically gifted as Pacquiao or has his phenomal work rate.

Mosley loves fighters that come to him and when they do he beats them, so I would expect Pacquiao to hit and move till the 2nd half of the fight.

But if he goes on the attack it will turn into a war, neither man like taking a back step and Mosley has a real chance of a KO.

But when the leather is flying there is no one better than picking a punch than Pacquiao, if he can stop Mosley it will be a huge statement.

I initially though Pacquiao sets a high pace out works Mosley and then moves in for the kill 7-8th round.

But if Pacquiao does take the fight to him early anything could happen.

I will be up for the Manny fight and the Chat Box will be on for it.
Hope to see you all there

Sources close to Pacquiao tell TMZ he was traveling in a fleet of cars after church today, when one of Manny's security vehicles collided with the car carrying Manny.

We're told Pacquiao is back at his hotel now, where his trainer, Freddie Roach, checked him out. According to our source, Pacquiao is just a little shaken up ... but he's okay to go for tonight.

Reportedly, the boxer was shaken up but not seriously injured.
