Floyd-Shane winner can’t stop Pacquiao, says IBA champ
MANILA, Philippines – It doesn’t matter who wins between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley on May 1 as long as Manny Pacquiao keeps fighting, according to a world heavyweight champ.
James Toney, the reigning International Boxing Association (IBA) heavyweight titlist, said neither Mayweather nor Mosley would dare mess with the Filipino boxing star in his peak.
“They aren’t f--king with Pacquiao right now, man,” Toney told Percy Crawford of FightHype.com while referring to Mayweather and Mosley.
Mayweather and Mosley will be slugging it out on May 1 for the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title.
Toney, however, thinks the two pound-for-pound contenders are no better than World Boxing Organization (WBO) title holder Pacquiao.
“Pacquiao's on fire,” he said in the report posted on FightHype.com. “Mayweather gives angles but not the odd and awkward angles that Pacquiao gives. As far as work rate and activity, forget about it.”
Toney said Pacquiao’s edge over his opponents is the volume of punches he can throw in a fight.
“Combinations! That's something you see a lot of smaller guys getting away from, but Pacquiao throws a shit load of combinations, punches in bunches, and from all angles,” he said.
During his fight with Clottey, Pacquiao released 1,231 punches in 12 rounds and landed 246.
The Compubox numbers also cited that the Filipino outpunched Clottey by 832 punches.

Manny if your mission is to help the poor pilipino people who supported you on your boxing carrier, you just made a big mistake. you associated yourself with people who's charaters are questionable. may pera ka donate them to any organizations that really works for the people. if you really like politics share your effort to the people who's policies are for the people who are in needs. like free education to poor but bright children. too bad these guys with you now will never let you go anymore. that is sad.
1ST ROUND KO
Bilib ako na tatalunin ni pakman sino man kina gayweather or mosley. pero sa eleksyon sa sarangani nakikita ko na 1st round knock out siya sa pulitika kasi tapos nang namigay ng pera si pakman sa mga mayores ng sarangani. kaya ngayon iniwanan na siya dahil sa chiongbian naman talaga sila kakampi dahil kapartido ito ni gobernor migz dominguez na hawak ang buong sarangani. Pakman pagawa mo na lang ng pabrika, piggery, poultry at paaralan sa gensan ang pera mo para sa susunod na eleksyon maari ka nang tumakbong vice mayor at sure kang mananalo.
