Quinito Henson:

Here are some reasons why Mosley is a serious challenger.

1• He has one-punch knockout power in either hand, particularly the right. In boxing, all it takes is a single connection and the fight could be over. Mosley boasts a knockout rate of 85 percent or 39 KOs of 46 wins, compared to Pacquiao’s 73 percent or 38 KOs of 52 wins.

2• He’s the first African-American whom Pacquiao will face. If you’re not used to the rhythm and style of an African-American athlete, you could be in big trouble. Pacquiao has sparred with African-Americans like Shawn Porter, Rashad Holloway and Karim Mayfield but it’s a different atmosphere when the bell rings for a real fight on pay-per-view.

3• He’s the only fighter to defeat the legendary Oscar de la Hoya twice.

4• He’s the only fighter to knock out rugged Mexican warrior Antonio Margarito who went the distance with Pacquiao.

5• He’s the only fighter to beat former world lightmiddleweight champion Fernando Vargas twice, both by knockout.

6• He’s never been knocked out – all his losses were on points. And only Vernon Forrest was able to floor Mosley, doing it twice in the second round but Sugar Shane survived the threat to last the full route in losing a decision. In contrast, Pacquiao has been floored by Rustico Torrecampo, Medgeon 3-K Battery, Nedal Hussein, Serikzhan Yeshmagambetov and Marco Antonio Barrera (although the knockdown should’ve been ruled a slip as shown in a replay). Mosley’s strong chin is an obvious asset.

7• He’s the “longest” fighter ever to battle Pacquiao with a startling 74-inch wingspan. That translates to a massive seven-inch reach advantage for Mosley. Two Pacquiao victims, Margarito and De la Hoya, both measure 73 inches in wingspan.

8• He’s comfortable fighting in the 147-pound division. Mosley has weighed over 142 pounds for 22 bouts since 1999. Pacquiao has fought in only four fights weighing over 142 since 2008. Pacquiao scaled 142 pounds for De la Hoya, 144 for Miguel Cotto, 145 3/4 for Joshua Clottey and 144 1/2 for Margarito. Mosley will likely weigh five to 10 pounds more than Pacquiao when they square off. The edge in heft may be an advantage or a disadvantage for Mosley.

9• He’s trained by the legendary Nazim Richardson who also takes care of Bernard Hopkins and IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham. Richardson is known in fight circles as a master strategist and tactician. Although he is not as renowned as Freddie Roach, Richardson can’t be considered a slouch. He’s an expert in spotting flaws and exploiting weaknesses. He’s a whiz in revving up old engines and transforming them into mean machines. To Richardson, age is all in the mind. Hopkins, his other ageless gladiator, remains competitive at 46.

10• He’s intelligent and crafty. Mosley used a classic boxing style to confound De la Hoya, not once but twice. He even switch-hit to confuse the Golden Boy. Against Pacquiao, Mosley is expected to put pressure on the Filipino icon and force a slugfest. Mosley’s deadliest combination is a left hook to the body and a right hook to the head. Sugar Shane once said he emulates Roberto Duran in the ring.

11• He has experience on his side. Mosley turned pro in 1993, two years before Pacquiao, and has boxed 376 rounds in 53 fights. Pacquiao has boxed 329 rounds in 57 bouts. Mosley has engaged in 19 world title matches and Pacquiao, 16. Mosley racked up a record of 38-0, with 35 KOs, before tasting his first defeat nine years after turning pro. Pacquiao raced to an 11-0 record, with only three KOs, before suffering his initial setback to Torrecampo in 1996.

12• He knows how to deal with southpaws. Mosley has battled five lefthanders in his career and lost to only one – Winky Wright. Against Luis Collazo, he scored a knockdown and breezed to an easy victory on points.

13• He fights like Juan Manuel Marquez. Pacquiao had difficulty against the Mexican in two bouts. Marquez, a technician, counter-punched and repeatedly found an opening for his right hand down the middle, into the heart of Pacquiao’s defense. Mosley will try to do the same on May 7.

14• He’s still got heart. Against Sergio Mora last September, Mosley defied the laws of aging and turned back the hands of time to win the final two rounds in salvaging a 12-round split draw in Los Angeles. Sugar Shane’s display of endurance was an inspiration to all senior citizens.

Why Pacquiao is gifted

MANILA, Philippines - How Manny Pacquiao has been able to invade one weight division after another to become the only fighter ever to capture eight world titles in different classes continues to baffle a lot of ring experts. But to researcher Leandro Solis, the explanation is quite elementary.

Solis, quoted by writer Anthony Wilson in badlefthook.com, compiled data from the tapes of the tape of several fighters, particularly Pacquiao, and found out what makes the Filipino icon special is his natural bone structure.

“In bone literature, it has been shown that in males, the wrist size is positively correlated with skeletal frame as well as bone density and mineral content which in short, means bigger wrists equal bigger bones,” said Solis. “For fighters fighting at a given weight class, what this means is that if both fighters weigh, say, 160 pounds, the percentage of that weight is made up of bone in proportion to soft tissue (skin, muscle, fat, blood, organs, etc.) will be more for the guy with bigger bones.”

In Solis’ comparative data, he discovered that the average wrist size for heavyweights is 7.69 inches, lightheavyweights 7.31, superlightweights or lightwelterweights 7.09 and superfeatherweights 6.35.

Factoring height to complete his analysis, Solis concluded that as ceiling increases so does wrist size. He said that a 5-8 fighter would likely show a wrist size of 6.9 inches and the expected wrist size of someone who is 70.6 inches tall is 7.15 inches. Floyd Mayweather, Jr., for instance, is 5-8 with a seven-inch wrist.

A glaring exception is the 5-6 1/2 Pacquiao whose wrist is measured to be a phenomenal eight inches – higher than the average for heavyweights. “One of the things that has characterized Pacquiao during the past two or three years is his ability to punch extremely hard for someone his size against seemingly bigger foes,” continued Solis.

Two heavyweight knockout artists with a wrist size identical to Pacquiao’s are former world champions Joe Louis and Mike Tyson.

Pacquiao’s incredible wrist size means the bone volume in his body is bigger than usual, giving him more sock in his punch. Sugar Shane Mosley’s trainer Nazeem Richardson once said, “The best trick Pacquiao has pulled is making you believe he is smaller than you are.” Mosley, who is 2 1/2 inches taller than Pacquiao, has a wrist size of only 6 1/4. In their comparative physical attributes, Pacquiao also has a bigger forearm size, 12 inches to 11 1/2, and a bigger calf size, 15 inches to 13 1/4. The calf size explains somewhat Pacquiao’s ability to carry his weight from one division to another. The forearm size translates into more punching power.

The logic is the bigger the wrist or bone density, the better able a fighter to move up in weight without losing his power. Solis made an interesting observation about Juan Manuel Marquez who went the distance twice with Pacquiao in closely-contested bouts.

“Marquez has always looked in top form and at his best except when he fought Mayweather as a welterweight,” said Solis. “Even at lightweight (135 pounds), many think he is already pushing the limit, well, according to my calculations, his fighting weight should be 131 pounds, just around the weight where he gave Pacquiao hell in their second fight and defeated (Marco Antonio) Barrera. Pacquiao is 1/2 inch shorter than Marquez yet he was able to move up in weight while Marquez could not. Many people have used this argument to suggest something improper on the part of Pacquiao; what they miss is that Pacquiao’s wrists are eight inches while Marquez’ are only 6.5. inches, giving Pacquiao an overall much bigger skeleton. This highlights why a great fighter like Pacquiao can easily adapt to a much higher weight without losing any speed, power or chin while another great fighter like Marquez can’t, even though both have similar heights.” The difference is in the bone structure, indicated by the wrist size.

The conventional thinking is Mosley will try to force a slugfest against Pacquiao because he doesn’t have the legs and the gas to push him forward into the late rounds. If Mosley fights Pacquiao like Ricky Hatton or Miguel Cotto, he’ll be a sitting duck for the Filipino’s counters. Also, Mosley wouldn’t be able to exploit his seven-inch reach advantage. If Mosley decides to fight from a distance, Pacquiao will use his speed and lateral movement to create the angles for his shots. Either way, Mosley could be in for the beating of his life.

Hahaha, dali! TKO yan IMO in the later rounds, mga Round 8 and up.

[EJS12129]

this will turn out to be a great fight and Rep. Manny Pacquiao will prevail, true! mosley had a hard chin but he is mostly careless, cause he knew he can take a punch, and that is his down fall, he will catch all the rapid punching of manny.

siguro dahil hinde HBO ang nag handle kaya hinde masyadong matunog itong laban. and besides yan 24/7 or 360 ba na documentary walang ng bago na mapakita eh,. paulit ulit na lang.

and another factor is everybody knows that this is just another fight to boost Pacman's stocks. Mosley is patsy. sa 24/7 na lang siya magaling
