Pacman-Mosley Better Than Floyd Bout said Peñalosa

MANILA, Philippines – Veteran fighter Gerry Peñalosa said a match featuring Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley would be better instead of the blockbuster clash between the pound-for-pound king and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. 

“The fight would surely be blazing with the exchange of hard punches from two boxers who have made boxing viewing exciting for everyone,” he said in his April 11 "Fearless" column on PhilBoxing.com.
But he refused to give his prediction on Mosley vs Pacquiao: “Should it happen… I wonder who would I pick as winner? Let’s reserve that thought some other time.”

Peñalosa, meantime, wrote that he thinks Mosley would get the better of Mayweather on May 1 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“He is a very active boxer and a good puncher. He can outbox, outrun and outpunch any legitimate welterweight even in his age of 38 because he’s got a very physique and in a tip top shape,” he noted.
He also cited that Mosley is hard-working, confident and passionate.

“If Mosley can outscore and land heavy punch on Mayweather in the first four rounds, then the game is set for Mosley because Mayweather will be forced to get in a head-on fight with him and won’t be running around so that he can get high percentage punches to cope with the point deficit.”

Peñalosa echoed what Pacquiao and Boxing Analyst earlier predicted that Mosley would prevail.
However, Pacquiao and Peñalosa’s trainer, Freddie Roach, picked Mayweather.

“It seems almost everybody is putting their bets on Mayweather. Mayweather is a cocky boxer, he puts his foot where his mouth is but his undefeated boxing record is surely something that one cannot overlook,” noted Peñalosa.
Peñalosa, who lost his Pinoy Power 3 bout in February, is set to give his official statement on his care plans.
The 37-year-old Filipino was defeated by Puerto Rican Eric “Little Hands of Steel” Morel by split decision at the Las Vegas Hilton.
