Manny Pacquiao caught Shane Mosley early, then chased him the rest of the night. Not much more he could do against an aging fighter who seemed only to want to survive.

Pacquiao knocked Mosley down with a left hook in the third round, a punch that seemed to sap Mosley's willingness to engage. Pacquiao ran after Mosley the rest of the fight,
but the former champion who has never been stopped in 18 years in the ring managed to stay away enough to finish the 12th round upright."It wasn't my best performance,"

Pacquiao had. "I did my best. I did not expect this result."Pacquiao won 120-108 on one scorecard, 120-107 on a second and 119-108 on the third. The Associated Press
had him winning 118-110.The knockout that wasn't seemed to spur Pacquiao on as he went after Mosley the rest of the round and again in the 11th. By then the crowd was
cheering "Knock him out, knock him out" but Pacquiao — bothered by a cramp in his left leg since the fourth round — didn't have enough to finish him off."I fought the best
fighter in the world," Mosley said. "He has exceptional power, power that I've never been hit like this before.""He had no leverage to move after that," Roach said. "It was a very
gutty performance in my mind."Pacquiao made a minimum of $20 million for the fight, while Mosley was guaranteed $5 million.
