"Sugar" Shane Mosley is giving strong signs he'll get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao for the title fight on April 16.Shane seems pretty confident he'll be the challenger, now that Floyd Mayweather appears unwilling to step up.
Mosley said he thinks the fight will go down at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Place your bets!

Ugh please no....shane's old and will be beat mercilessly.

Floyd is the only worthy opponent. Anyone else is not in Pacquiao's league.

The sad part is the only challenge he will have is the upper weight class... Will he go for his 8th/9th (Forgot how many he has now) different division weight class belt

I would love to see Pacquaio fight Amir Khan down the line.....once Khan has picked up some experience, strength, and defense. He's slowly developing into the same type of fighter, and they're already sparring partners, so it'd be interesting to see Roach coach that one. Too bad it'll never happen.

At least Mosley is quicker than Magarito.

Khan has blinding handspeed, but he's not in Pacquiao's league. Khan doesn't know how to counterpunch and has been badly hurt in several of his fights against guys not nearly as good/powerful/fast as Pacquiao.

C'mon, I'm hoping Pac and Roach make a push for either Marquez or Berto. The only guys that want this Mosley fight is Bob Arum and Mosley himself. I hate Bob Arum!!!

Mosley is broke, that's why he wants a piece of Manny's market.

Blinding is the perfect word for it....I had to pause and rewind the first round combo he dropped a couple times just because I was blown away by how fast it was. I agree that his defense and countering is lacking, and he's def not as total package good as Pac, but a few more fights experience, and more time training with Roach and I can see him getting there.

When I was in the suite for the pacman margarito fight, Shane mosely was in the suite next to me. Really interested in the fight didn't even show any emotion what so ever when margarito eye got screwed up while the whole place was oohing and awning.

Anyways pacman will beat Mosely. Nuff said.

Amir Khan? Likely won't happen. I've heard somewhere they're sparring partners.

I think we need a separate thread that Khan and Manny are sparring partners. :grin:
