LIVE round-by-round coverage of Pacquaio vs. Mosley

Fight fans are always excited for a Manny Pacquiao fight because he's guaranteed to put on a show. The opportunity to see an all-time great in his athletic prime - particularly when he's only going to showcase those skills once or twice per year - is a must-see event. And Shane Mosley has had a Hall of Fame career and is rarely in a dull fight. So why was everyone so disappointed when Pacquiao selected Sugar Shane as his opponent for this Saturday night?

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is obviously the opponent everyone - including Manny himself - would like to see stepping into the ring with Pacquiao on Saturday. But Mayweather has been inactive for a full year (since easily outpointing Mosley over 12 one-sided rounds) and shows no inclination to fight again any time soon.

At 39, Mosley is past his prime and he didn't look good in last two fights -- the loss to Mayweather and a dull draw against Sergio Mora. However, Mayweather and Mora are all about not getting hit and don't care about producing fan-friendly fights. It's hard to look good against a talented defensive fighter who doesn't take risks.

Manny Pacquiao is not cut from that safety-first mold. In fact, he's exactly the opposite stylistically. He thrives on putting on a show ... which means he will take risks and he is willing to take some punches in order to land his own. For that reason, Shane Mosley could be a much more dangerous opponent than expected (oddsmakers have him as a 6-1 underdog). Sure, Manny Pacquiao should - and most likely will - win the fight ... but his willingness to mix it up will also create opportunities for Mosley to make it interesting, especially over the first four rounds.

British heavyweight Henry Cooper, best known for knocking down a young Muhammad Ali (when he was still Cassius Clay) in their 1963 bout, has passed away at the age of 76.  Ali recovered from that fourth round knock down but may have been aided by the stalling tactics of trainer Angelo Dundee, who bought Ali additional time to recover between rounds by calling the referee's attention to a tear in Ali's gloves. By the time Ali's glove had been replaced, he had fully recuperated and proceeded to stop Cooper on cuts in the very next round. Cooper got another shot against Ali in 1966, in Ali's fourth world title defense, but it ended in similar fashion with Cooper being stopped on cuts in the sixth round.

Cooper began his professional career in 1954 and held British, European and Commonwealth heavyweight titles before retiring in 1971 with a record of 40-14-1 (27 KOs). In 1980, he became the first boxer to be knighted when we received the title of "Sir" from Queen Elizabeth II.

An undefeated record in boxing is undoubtedly impressive ... but it can also be misleading. We examine the careers of four modern fighters who retired having won every single fight of their professional careers: Rocky Marciano, Joe Calzaghe, Sven Ottke and Ike Ibeabuchi. All four have questions surrounding their undefeated marks ...
