MOSLEY PREDICTS HE'LL WIN AND WILL BE READY TO FACE PACQUIAO


PhilBoxing.com




WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley predicts he will beat Floyd Mayweather Jr in their showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday, Manila Time, and will then he ready and willing to face pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.

When ABS-CBN?S North American Bureau correspondent Bev Llorente asked Mosley whether he would be willing to fight Pacquia after his battle with Mayweather, Mosley said ?Definitely, I will fight anybody who is the best.?

Mosley who has always praised Pacquiao for his achievements said he thinks Pacquiao will prevail in his difficult political battle for a seat in the House of Representatives in the May 10 elections with the ?Fighter of the Decade? is seeking the lone seat from the province of Sarangani where his charming wife Jinkee has reportedly been a major asset on the campaign trail with surveys indicating that Pacquiao was ahead of his rival Roy Chiongbian who is from a well-established political dynasty in the region.

Mosley told Llorente he hopes Pacquiao will win because ?He is a great guy and hopefully he wins as congressman. He will accomplish everything he needs to accomplish in his life.?

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer in what appeared to be an effort to mend relations with Pacquiao in the face of a lawsuit where Pacquiao has charged the Golden Boy Promotions CEO for accusing him of being on performance enhancing drugs which Schaefer has denied, said Pacquiao ?is a great champion inside the ring and he will be a great champion outside the ring.?

Schaefer also told Llorente that a galaxy of stars including NBA players and Hollywood celebrities including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Will Smith and Jack Nicholson will be at special ringside for the fights which is normal. Pacquiao himself has often been visited by big name Hollywood stars and NBA superstars while in training at the Wild Card Gym of Freddie Roach in Los Angeles and also at his fights where on one occasion the members of the champion Boston Celtics team cheered Pacquiao in his dressing room after another of his sensational victories.

An internet survey in the US has shown that West Coast fight fans appear to be firmly behind Mosley while the East Coast is going for Mayweather.

Mayweather was picked by 62 percent in the East Coast while 38 percent chose Mosley while in the West Coast the margin was closer with Mosley receiving 52 percent to Mayweather's 48 percent.

Big cities like Los Angeles and New York reflected the difference with LA going for Mosley over Mayweather 55-45 percent while New York had Mayweather in front 56-44 percent.

There was even a difference in the Pacquiao camp with the champion picking Mosley to win while his c elebrated trainer Freddie Roach was confident that Mayweather would prevail in a twelve round decision.

Llorente said Filipinos in the US are hoping that Mayweather wins because they want to see a Pacquiao-Mayweather super fight.
