Trainer Freddie Roach is predicting that his boxer, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, will stop "Sugar" Shane Mosley on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mosley has been down in one fight, against Vernon Forrest in 2002. The goal for Team Pacquiao is to accomplish something that no other fighter has been able to do, to stop Mosley.
Roach says it "won't be easy." Mosley is known to have a very good chin. He fought some of the biggest names in the sport, including Winky Wright, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, Fernando Vargas and many others. The only fighter who had him seriously hurt was Forrest.
"Shane is a very durable guy. He has a good chin. It won't be easy but I think we can stop him in the late rounds. It won't be an easy fight. When he beat Margarito, everyone thought he was the best fighter at welterweight. We're going to train very hard for this fight. We don't take any opponent lightly," Roach said.
