    Among the 3 boxers Floyd, Mosley and Cotto, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the safest fight for Pacquiao...

    - Floyd is the least destructive among the 3. He just usually potshots opponents towards a safe UD victory while Mosley and Cotto usually beat their opponents black and blue just like Pacquiao...
    - Floyd is the smallest among the 3...
    - Floyd should have the weakest punch among the 3...
    - Boxers will not fear PBF since he's not known to destroy opponents...

    Vote in the poll who among Floyd, Mosley and Cotto is the safest fight for Manny Pacquiao...

    Void. Void knows this, which is the reason he refused to fight Pac, but he has also refused to fight Cotto, Margarito and Mosley.

    floyd will not beat up pac as much as the others potentially can but i like pacs chances of winning against cotto the most.

    i voted for cotto

    In terms of winning, the "safest" fight for Pacquiao is Cotto, then Mosley, then Mayweather.

    In terms of physical damage though, Mayweather is probably the "safest" (although Floyd's more aggressive against lefties and smaller opponents). Mosley's a big welterweight and more physical.

    Floyd for sure eventhough PBF is the most skilled of the 3. Pacs size might/probably will show against Mosley or Cotto, it wont even be a factor in the PBF fight. Also, I believe Pac's strength/speed will be a factor against PBF, it MIGHT be a factor against the others....

    Pac is very underrated. Void is very overrated.

    Floyd right now probably is, we need to see him fight. Near 2 years layoff, easy choice to pick him.

    :huh you really consider fighting a counter puncher like mayweather a safe fight? pac fought a great counter puncher in marquez already and almost lost both times. cotto is probably the most winnable fight due to the fact that hes got more noticable flaws then mayweather and mosley and has been hurt more times and even then he might beat pacquiao.

    Yep I'm referring more to physical damage inflicted... Floyd is not known as a ferocious destroyer like Mosley, Cotto and Pacquiao... Even the very small JMM is brave enough to call-out and fight Floyd... Heck even the smallest boxer, Ivan Calderon called out Floyd... Enough proof that boxers are NOT afraid to be inside the ring with Floyd Jr. ...

    Ivan called him out because he would get a fat pay check.

    Of all the 3 boxers I have to pick Mosley. Mosley is not getting any younger. His age will get to him. He will slow down and Pacquiao will just pick him apart. I'm not saying that Pacquiao will KO Mosley (I'm not gonna be surprise if Pacquiao beats him by KO) but I believe that the fight will be stopped by a referee or Mosley's corner.

    well, UNTIL age catches up with him, the mosley that koed margo would knock pacquaio out. there a reason why they chose to fight cotto instead of mosley
