Manny insists, Mosley is a Tough Figther

Manny Pacquiao insists that his May 7 WBO welterweight title defense against former champion Shane Mosley is a tough fight. Pacquiao said, that the fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas is 95 to 98 percent certain to take place.

Manny Pacquiao left for Japan on a vacation with his family.

Prior to that, Pacquiao told ABS-CBN "my opponent is good. It will be difficult but I can handle him." But WBC founding secretary general Rudy Salud is one of those who expressed disappointment over the choice of fight with Mosley.

Salud said Pacquiao should not claim he is fighting for his country if he fights Mosley which, Salud claimed, is only for the money.
