    I just wanna know what would happen if Mayweather chose to fight Mosley after JMM then Pac? Of course I think he will fight Pacquiao because it would settle whos the best boxer right now and everybody wants to see that fight. but if he did choose Mosley over Pac would you guys be pissed? I would, Mosley can wait

    can't be pissed for anyone fighting Sugar Shane at 147 when he's #1 in the division.

    Me too, we must get Mayweather v Pac in the ring while Manny is still hot, he could end up losing his next fight & the Mayweather fight wont have as much world wide appeal.... even part time boxing fans are calling for FMJ-Pac, the reason is because of Manny`s form.

    (First) All...
    Assuming Floyd beats JMM
    Pacquaio Vs. Cotto

    Mosley should be next.
    (Pac fight won't settle anything, IMO.)

    A Floyd Mayweather Vs. Shane Mosley would SETTLE 147lbs.
    Then the winner can then face Pacquaio/Cotto depends. for the 140/147lbs (best)

    Pac is smaller and Floyd´s style is all wrong for him.

    I'd give him more credit. I agree with 'hatesrats' - Maybe a semi final style match up. If Floyd/Pac wins it then the P4P dispute is pretty much settled

    Pac should be last on his radar as well as Marquez but obviously fans like you think its good.

    How could you be mad for him fighting the number 1 welterweight a division he says he is the best of. You'd have to be sick, this is the matchup true fans have wanted for years.

    Actually Pac is not that much smaller and Mosley is flat footed and has trouble with boxers. I think Pac is a way harder fight, **** to be real just the southpaw stance makes Pacquiao a harder fight to me. Mosley is still the man though. none are easy fights but Pac seems like the harder oppenet

    But Mosley has ducked him for years so dont blame Mayweather. and its cool for Mayweather to fight Mosley but after Pacquiao, hes already cutting weight for the Marquez fight so he might as well take Pacquiao next because hes used to cutting weight then go back to WW, IMO

    It would be a good match up. Mosley is coming off of a huge win over Margrito and deserves another big fight. I would perfer to see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, but I would not complane about MayWeather vs. Mosley.

    Look man I've heard you guys talk about Mosley ducking Floyd never happened.

    Let me school you there young buck since you like to act like you know things Floyd mentioned his name back in the day Floyd was still at 130-135 I believe while Mosley was the welter King and would've looked worse than Floyd does now for fighting Marquez.
    He said he wanted to fight him after Mosley beat Vargas when Mosley had already planned a Break for family time and dental work and the real reason for this was because Oscar and Floyd were already in discussions which you should remember if you follow boxing. Thus making this weak attempt as a bargaining chip.Mosley won't bite the hands that feeds him(Hoya).
    Recently I've heard Mayweather wanted Mosley for his comeback fight then as I read was actually said it was that Floyd said he would fight Shane for a guaranteed 20 mil.Now we both know theres only one guy in the biz you can make that money with and thats Oscar.So basically he priced himself out.Don't even try to say he's getting close to that for Marquez.

    Now tell me how you feel about this and how taht Mosley avoiding Floyd accusation holds any water.
