Pacquiao will fight Mosley?

Four-time boxing trainer of the year, Freddie Roach, said that Manny Pacquiao will most likely face Shane Mosley if he defeats Floyd Mayweather on their May 2010 bout. The question will still be on whether the Pacquiao-Mayweather will ever happen whatever the results of the Pacquiao-Clottey and Mosley-Mayweather fights will be. Roach thought it will happen.

Though many people will consider that the Pacman will win against Joshua Clottey they should not underestimate the ability of the Ghana native. Clottey's last fight against Miguel Cotto was rather a disappointment to him; Cotto won via split-decision to which many critics said it should be the other way. Well the decision was final not unless there was a dirty-play proven, like the usage of illegal hand wraps.

Clottey is a very good boxer and a good person as well. He is a humble fighter not a trasher; same goes to Pacquiao. Much respect to both fighters. They will definitely put on a good fight this March 13.

If ever Mosley will defeat Mayweather, to which I can say that it could happen for he is capable of doing so, and he is going to face Pacquiao then it would definitely be a great matchup. Though Mosley may be the bigger fighter the Pacman got the power and speed. Also, this is what Shane always wanted, to fight the best of the best.
