Manny Pacquiao to face Shane Mosley May 7th

Mosley can win. He almost knocked out Mayweather in their fight. He probably won't win but that line seems high. Then again I don't watch boxing at all.

He DID buckle Mayweather. He ALMOST knocked im down. He DID NOT almost knock him out.

He DID NOT almost knock him out.

No way to tell what would've happened if he had landed a really good follow-up punch.

That's my point though, he didn't land that really good follow-up punch. I just don't see how anyone can really think Mayweather was almost knocked out in that fight. Buckled? YES. Almost went down, YES. Not close to being KO'ed. I'm sorry.

Kos almost knocked GSP out. His fist came within inches of his head a few times.

I think that, under the circumstances, saying he was NOT close to being KOd is as speculative as saying he was. Possibly even more so.

Having your shit rocked to the point to where you can't stand up straight strikes me as "being close to being KOd." It's not KOd. Because you're still on your feet. But it's obviously a big step in that direction.

^^^ Agree to disagree I guess.
