    No you idiot. The Mosley who Pacquiao ducked isn't in the same hemisphere as the Mosley who Forrest took apart.

    It speaks VOLUMES that Mayorga could beat the VF that took apart a Shane Mosley who was at the top of the P4P lists.

    It also speaks VOLUMES that Pacquiao would duck Mosley when he was ten years removed from the Forrest fights.

    That said, Mayorga > Pacquiao @ 147lbs.

    WTF, are you brain dead?

    Both Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could see that the Mosley of 2011 was shot to pieces.

    Stop playing the ****** role, Einstein...

    Vernon got slapped hard at the end of the first and never knew what hit him when he was sledge hammered halfway into the ropes and the canvas. That is understandable, now what I cannot understand is how late great Vernon lost a decision to a bum! It had to be Cory Spinks to show him how to do it.

    A complete myth. Cotto weighed only 1 pound less than he did for his previous fight versus Joshua Clottey.

    Vernon in my opinion had the best all around skill set of all the hof welters during that era....Mosley, Tito, Hoya....I think Vernon would have beaten all three back to back to back....but he ran into nightmare that day lol.

    No one at 147 that Pac beat is better than Mayorga's 2 victories over Forrest, even though I felt Forrest won the rematch. Pac beat Clottely and Cotto at a catch weight, neither are as good as Forrest and neither has a victory like Forrest had over an ABSOLUTE Prime Mosley, who was P4P #1. However, of course, Pac has achieve far more than Forrest, given his injuries/layoffs, and the fact he was murdered. Pac has achieved a great deal and is an ATG... but Forrest has the better victory at 147. Weight drained old oscar, super old mosley, 145 Cotto... doesn't touch beating the p4p #1 fighter in the world, who is in his absolute prime twice.
