What is Shane “Made-To-Order” Mosley doing fighting Manny Pacquiao?
Moving forward, trading punches and eventually being stopped by the fast and powerful fists of Pacquiao.
Shane Mosley has said that by fighting Manny Pacquiao he is doing Floyd Mayweather’s dirty work.
In May of 2010, Mayweather personally took eleven of twelve rounds against Mosley.
Mayweather personally took Shane to the cleaners.
Mosley is certainly not doing Mayweather’s dirty work nor is he Mayweather’s dirty laundry.
The dirty work is being done by Top Rank and this time Mosley and boxing fans will brought to the cleaners.
The fight is the second of Manny Pacquiao’s retribution campaign.
In his last fight he beat the blood out of a man accused of wearing plaster inserts against opponents to do more damage.
In this fight he will more than likely do the same against a man accused of using designer steroids to gain advantages over opponents.
Wapakman couldn’t have found better comic book-styled villains.
And like comic book-styled villains the hero is scripted to win.
A fight like this in UFC terms can be related to an aging Randy Couture against Brock Lesnar.
Couture at the time, though, was the UFC Heavyweight Champion and the odds on the fight were much closer.
Couture had also won 3 of his last 4 fights and was in the midst of a career renaissance.
No, this is the kind of fight only boxing can get away with because the promotional companies know that the fans will support it.
No matter that Mosley has looked sluggish in his last two fights.
No matter that Mosley, in his last outing, drew with marginal Sergio Mora.
No matter that Mora then lost a split decision to fellow Contender alum Brian Vera.
Pacquiao-Mosley will make money and Top Rank’s prized possession will come away unscathed.
In all probability this fight will be a one-sided, ugly affair with Mosley possibly taking more than a loss away from it.
Dirty work… Definitely, but it is not about Mayweather, it is just about money.
