    When Shane Mosley (46-7-1-1, 39 KO’s) fought Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s) on May 7 everyone knew that his skills were diminished and that his career was on the downward slope. Everyone expected him however, to make a go of it and attempt to win the fight.

    After Mosley was knocked down in the 3rd run the fight seemed to go out of him. He had the look of utter surprise and yes, a look of fear came over his face. He could hot believe that, despite all that had been written by boxing writers and the accounts of what other fighters said about Pacquiao, that he was that fast and hit that hard. He fell into the trap almost all of the “Pacman’s” larger opponents have. How does a guy of that size generate so much speed and power?
