Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) will be on the ring again this coming May 7, 2011 to defend his honor, boxing title and his domination as pound for pound king of the world against the American boxer, “Sugar” Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs).

Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum made the arrangements to make this fight to happen. Arum believes that Pacquiao vs. Mosley is much better compared to other options that line up prior to the decision day of the fight such as options like Pacquiao-Marquez trilogy and Pacquiao-Chavez match up.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane MosleyHonestly, I was expecting that Pacquiao will be fighting against the undefeated welterweight boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr. but the latter faces different legal issues that really hampered him to think about anything about boxing and make the dream match materialized. Maybe later this year or next it will happen but Mayweather really need to fix his problems first so that he could focus on fighting the people’s champ.

Now, with the announcement of Mosley-Pacquiao match, mixed opinions spread and a lot of them thinks that Mosley is too old for Manny to keep up with his speed and power. However, he said that he won’t go easy with the champ and even his opponent is saying that this fight will be quite difficult compared to other matches he successfully won.

CBS/Showtime will be the one to handle in televising the fight instead of HBO. They will also produce a 24/7 – like sports documentary for the match to promote it several weeks before the fight night. The boxing event will be happening at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The 24/7-like series will be the called as “FIGHT CAMP 360°: Pacquiao vs. Mosley” which premiere date will be on April 2, 2011. You might want to check the complete schedule at WATCHPACQUIAO.COM.

manny pacquiao has fought various fighters and he made bigger and taller so irrelevant in boxing! he has fought bigger and taller fighters and he still comes out as victorious! shane mosley is a formidable fighter eventhough analysts say that he is much slower now and less agile, he still has his power.

thankfully manny has not becomne too lax in his trainings, he prepared in this fight and does not underestimate shane mosley!

so i hope and pray, manny will win this! Go MANNY!

I think Shane Mosley is a worthy opponent for Manny Pacquiao but his age and his declining performance in boxing (based on his previous fight) is simple indication of what to expect from this match. It is just Pacquiao is too fast and too strong for him so Pacman will surely win this match.

I hope Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be man enough like Mosley to face Pacquiao. That’s what I like with Mosley, he is so good in heart and strong person. He is so courageous that he is willing to fight anyone despite he is not sure he’ll win it. Unlike the coward guy who can’t even make a real valid explanation why he keep on docking the dream fight. Tsk what a shame for Floyd!
