As a Manny Pacquiao fan, I am somewhat disappointed that Floyd Mayweather Jr will not be taking on the pound for pound king on May 1st.  However, as a boxing fan, I am ecstatic that Mayweather will be facing Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas instead.

Usually before a fight, I have an inkling as to who will win.  Of course, it’s not always correct in the end, but at least I can make up my mind.  In this case, I am truly stumped.  I’ve considered all the variables and the advantages and disadvantages of each boxer over the last couple of weeks, but I still can’t decide who will win.  Set out below are some thoughts I have of the matchup, which will hopefully lead to a conclusive prediction on who will be victorious this Saturday night.
