Pacquiao set to fight Mosley - May 7, 2011

Still no sign of a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight in the near future. Instead Manny Pacquiao is to fight Shane Mosley this May 7th in Las Vegas.  Pacquiao's coach Freddie Roach said he'll most likely insist Mosley take a drug test to rule out any steroid use.  In 2003, Mosley admitted to using EPO, a performance enhancing drug.  Earlier this year,
Pacquiao/Mayweather contract fell through because of steroid testing.

This upcoming fight with Mosley may bring some good competition for Pacquaio.  At least that's what's Mosley himself thinks. "… Manny is going to come forward and I will hit him on the chin at some point.  His defines is not like Floyd's. Manny will come at me, and I will knock him out." Mosley said about his opponent. 

So what will this fight come down to?  An all out brawl?  Will Pacquiao be handed his first defeat, or his 14th straight win?  Will Mosley be able to deliver the damage he says he can or will Pacquiao box him into retirement?  One thing's for sure, there won't be any crime going down in Manila.
