Pacquiao vs Mosley Tale of the Tape

Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer to win 8 world titles in 8 different weight classes. He won world titles in the super welterweight, welterweight, junior welterweight, lightweight, super featherweight, featherweight, super bantamweight and flyweight divisions. He currently holds the WBO welteweight title.

Pacquiao is known for his exceptional speed and punching power. He defeated some of the biggest names in boxing including Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera, Miguel Cotto and recently, Antonio Margarito.

Shane Mosley is a former world champion who held multiple titles in 3 weight divisions. He held the IBF lightweight crown (which he defended 9 times), the WBC and IBA welterweight titles, and the WBC and WBA super welterweight belts.


Just like Pacquiao, he is known for his speed and knockout power. He is the only boxer who was able to stop the durable Antonio Margarito. He also nearly knocked down Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mosley, however, is considered as an underdog in this coming fight because of his age (39).
