After Shane Mosley they consider Marquez

Talks are already rife about Pacquiao’s next fight penciled for November possibly against Mexico’s master counter-puncher, Juan Manuel Marquez, in case Floyd Mayweather finally wakes up one day realizing that it’s about time to face the Filipino sporting icon. But assuming Mayweather remains deaf and callous to the public clamor, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum has already somebody in mind to close out 2011 with a bang.

Still, even if a script is already made for the next move, an unforeseen circumstance lurks behind, something that should put everything upside. A hundred miles away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Shane Mosley is plotting the destruction of boxing’s premier attraction when they finally come face-to-face and mano-a-mano on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Holed out in Big Bear, nestled in the San Bernardino mountains that is almost 8,000 feet above sea level, Mosley has been training since early-March as though he would be up not only against Pacquiao but against the gazillions of Pacquiao fans.

“You just have to keep going, and going and going (in training),” said Mosley from his high-altitude training camp, his voice oozing with heightened optimism.

Even Arum sounds a bit concerned of what a cagey veteran like Mosley can bring to the ring.

“Shane can take a good shot and he is so resilient,” said Arum.

Obviously, Pacquiao realized very early that despite the lackluster ending of Mosley’s last two fights, taking him for granted is tantamount to giving the other guy an advantage.

Pacquiao still favorite by bettors’ bet

A look at the latest odds shows that Mosley's marquee opponent, pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, on May 7 in Las Vegas remains the huge favorite in their scheduled 12-round World Boxing Organization welterweight match-up at the MGM Grand. Sportsbook lists Pacquiao a -800 favorite and Mosley a +500 underdog, meaning an $800 bet on Pacquiao would only win $100 and a mere $100 wager on Mosley would win $500.

That, despite of Mosley’s no-nonsense preparation. Even Pacquiao's Canadian adviser Mike Koncz was surprised with the way Mosley appeared when he faced the media last Tuesday.

"Mosley looks in real great shape," said Koncz, who had obviously seen the American puncher's photos on the internet as he was working out for the media. "His body is toned and you can see that he is taking the fight very seriously," added Koncz.

Mosley actually beat Pacquiao to the punch as he reported for training camp some 10 days before the Filipino actually went up to Baguio City with Freddie Roach. At 39 years old, Mosley believes he still has a lot of championship juice left and that the world will be in for a shock come fight night. Mosley said he prefers to win big – as in by knockout – against Pacquiao.

But Pacquiao is also eyeing the same kind of ending as nobody has yet stop Mosley dead in his tracks. Although Mosley has suffered a few losses, he has never been stopped in his stellar career. Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley is promoted by Top Rank in association with MP Promotions,Sugar Shane Mosley Promotions, Tecate and MGM Grand.

Pacquiao No. 1 in Ring Magazine's 100 list

Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao was chosen by Ring Magazine as its top boxer among the "100 best fighters in the world" for 2010.

The 100 list, compiled by Ring Magazine's William Dettloff, included 2010 boxing achievers like Sergio Martinez, Juan Manuel Marquez, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, and Fernando Montiel.

"As most of us expected, Pacquiao made mincemeat out of Antonio Margarito, who not so long ago everyone was calling the most feared fighter in the world," Dettloff said in his blog.

Pacquiao was earlier chosen by fight fans as Ring Magazine’s “2010 Fighter of the Year”.

Ring Magazine is considered as the “bible of boxing."

"Along with everyone else we would have preferred the year ended with a superfight against the next guy on this list, but you can’t have everything," Dettloff said.

The "next guy" he's referring to is No. 2 ranked Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao’s next fight is against former welterweight champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley, who is ranked No. 17 on the list.

"The Filipino Flash" Nonito Donaire Jr. also made it into the respectable list. He is just a notch below Marquez at No. 5.

"Donaire obliterated Wladimir Sidorenko (KO 4) on December 4, his third fight of 2010 -- quite busy indeed for a top pound-for-pounder these days," said Dettloff.

The Filipino Flash is currently preparing for his February 19 bantamweight title clash against No. 7 ranked Montiel.

“Montiel probably qualifies as the best fighter Donaire has ever faced and what happens when they meet will go a long way toward determining where Donaire appears on this list next year,” said Dettloff.

“I demolished Margarito and then I knocked him out. Manny didn’t knock him out after I did and I don’t understand. This will be a great fight and it will be exciting.
