Pac-Man Vs. Sugar...thanks.

Well, Manny Pacquiao's next opponent has been determined, in a May 7th bout PacMan will be fighting the faded Shane Mosley. This is definitely not a good choice for a number of reasons and only a good choice for one. What we are looking at here is an aged Shane Mosley who in his last 3 fights, demolished Margarito, got taken to school by Mayweather, and had a draw with Sergio Mora. Not that good of an argument to validate him getting a crack at CongressManny. Mosley has shown in his last few fights that he is having a harder time "pulling the trigger", which means he is hesitant in throwing his punches, and is a sign of age.
The only rewarding aspect of the fight for Manny is that it is another great name on his resume. It also can sort of debunk the theory that Manny does not fight black fighters.
Main problem here is that we have a faded great fighter , fighting a fighter in the prime of their career.
Bottom line is that Pacquiao has to fight Mayweather before it is all said and done to cement both fighters legacies.
