Pacquiao vs mosley who is the winner

He endured grueling defeats to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mosley put up a brave showing but was always on the back foot against Pacquiao, who knocked him down in the third round, the first time he had been on the canvas in nine years. Bothered by the cramp, Pacquiao was briefly floored himself in the 10th, but said the referee had apologized to him after the fight for a wrong decision in awarding the knockdown. The main reason Pacquiao , 32, was the heavy favorite was his own dominance of late.

He is the first boxer ever to capture 10 world titles in eight weight divisions -- from flyweight for boxers between and pounds up to super welterweight to pounds. The Ring magazine, among other publications, ranks Pacquiao as the world's best pound-for-pound boxer. Pacquiao couldn't do the in-and-out offense of his past few action-packed fights, yet he still landed enough to keep Mosley on the defensive, especially after Mosley suffered a third-round knockdown.

Another aspect that possibly limited Pacquiao's punch output was all the talk of Mosley's punching power. Pacquiao probably didn't want to go all Filipino Devil on him and feel the unexpected power shot counters Mosley is known for. Unfortunately, Mosley never even attempted to land anything to justify Pacquiao's more defensive approach on this fight night.

My legs tightened up during the fight. I am satisfied with everything that I have done in boxing. I want to fight because the people want the fight. Mosley, who has never been knocked out and is one of the great lightweight champions of all time, had nothing but praise for Pacquiao afterward. He truly is the pound-for-pound king. He has speed and power that I have never felt before.
