Manny Pacquiao will try to scout his would-be next opponent when the Filipino boxing icon joins the television panel for the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Sugar Shane Mosley bout on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
Pacquiao will share his insights as the third analyst for the WHO R U PICKING? megafight, which will be simultaneously aired at GMA-7 and Solar TV at 1 a.m., alongside renowned sports commentator Quinito Henson and sports broadcaster Chino Trinidad of GMA-7.
This was announced during the press launching of the WHO R U PICKING? Mayweather-Mosley bout at the New World Renaissance Hotel in Makati.
Mosley or Mayweather could become the reigning pound-for-pound king's next opponent in another expected multi-million dollar showdown.
Only last March, the expected megafight between the pride of General Santos City and the outspoken Mayweather collapsed after the American's camp demanded that Pacquiao undergo Olympic-style drug testing.
Pacquiao's camp refused the proposed dope testing and the Mayweathers, despite getting clearance from the Nevada Athletic Commission that the Filipino is drug free, pulled out of the negotiating table.
The renowned People's Champion found himself facing Joshua Clottey, who is a defensive-minded Ghanian fighter who refused to go head-to-head with Pacquiao.
Pacquiao will get a chance to see first hand the styles of both fighters who wanted to face him inside the ring for pride and big money.
The Mayweather-Mosley bout is expected to be a rapid-chess match as both are thinking fighters who always wait for every opportunity to strike. Both fighters also rely on their speed.

Trainers' take: Age a deciding factor in Floyd Mayweather's fight against Shane Mosley
LAS VEGAS -- Two boxing statesmen, both former world champions turned trainers, with a keen eye for the irreversible templates of the punch-for-pay game and the toll it takes, watch Floyd Mayweather intently. One has a vested interest in Saturday’s Mayweather-Shane Mosley fight. The other doesn’t.
Both think they see the same thing at play in the welterweight extravaganza, an experience they lived through during their own careers as active boxers.
Cornelius Boza Edwards and Roger Mayweather were world champions whose principal role in professional boxing was Hall of Fame gatekeeper, because almost anyone who beat them in their primes became an immediate candidate.

“There’s five years difference between them,” Boza Edwards said. “As we know, over the years, even with great fighters, one or two years could be huge.
“We always have this scenario. Fighting is a young man’s sport. In this fight, between Floyd and Shane, Floyd is the younger man. The reflexes aren’t the same. The quickness isn’t the same. And the other thing is, the last time Shane fought, was more than a year ago. So all those things are combined.”
Roger Mayweather trains his nephew and has an obvious bias. He also is an astute observer of boxing and a student of its history who considers Mosley a great fighter and surefire Hall of Famer, with dangerous power and a big heart.

Mayweather questions Pacquiao's stature among boxing greats
MANILA, Philippines – Former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. again took a swipe at international boxing star Manny Pacquiao, questioning the Filipino’s stature among boxing greats.
In a conference call about his upcoming fight against “Sugar” Shane Mosley, the controversial boxer downplayed Pacquiao’s sensational victories over Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto and Britain’s Ricky Hatton.
“He beat a Miguel Cotto who got pummeled with a cast and he beat a Ricky Hatton that got stretched by me… That’s not for me to put him in the Hall of Fame,” Mayweather said in a report posted on boxing.fighthype.com.
The Filipino stopped Cotto in 12 rounds last November to win the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title, his 7th in 7 weight classes.
Prior to facing Cotto, Pacquiao knocked out Hatton in just 2 rounds. It took Mayweather 10 rounds to stop the bull strong Briton.
The Boxing Writers Association of America thus picked the Filipino over Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera as the Fighter of the Decade.
Analysts also compared Pacquiao to the late boxing great Henry Armstrong, who simultaneously held world titles in 3 three different divisions.
The undefeated Mayweather also said that unlike him, the Filipino has suffered losses in his professional career, aside from struggling against counter punching expert Juan Manuel Marquez.
“Manny Pacquiao struggled twice, which we really know he got beat, struggled twice with Marquez, which we know he really lost. Right? And we know he been knocked out twice and he got outboxed by Erik Morales, but then they still give him Boxer of the Decade. So that’s another thing I don’t understand,” said Mayweather.

Mosley believes he will stop Mayweather
Shane Mosley believes he will stop Mayweather in their welterweight bout on May 1 in Las Vegas. If it happens as predicted, He will be the first fighter to beat Mayweather.
Mosley was quoted at sport.stv.tv saying,
"I think a lot of people who have fought Floyd have let his talking get to them and they go into the fight angry,” said Mosley, who has never been knocked out. “They are fighting with their emotions when they are in the ring. I'm not going to do that. I know how I want to fight Floyd and I know what I want to happen, so I am going to do what I have to do to win."
"A victory over Floyd Mayweather would definitely rank in my top victories. It would let people know that once again they overlooked Sugar Shane Mosley and that was a mistake."
"Floyd is a great fighter and there are a lot of different things he can bring to the ring. But there are a lot of things I bring as well. On May 1 we are going to find out who the real chess player is.”
Shane Mosley, 46-5(39 KOs) promised not to be distracted with the trash talking of Floyd Mayweather Jr. He will be more focus with his goal, to blemish the unblemished record of Mayweather, 40-0(25 KOs).
