If Floyd beats Mosley, would it be better than any win on Pacquiao's resume?

    Are you serious Barrera better than Mosley, Let me throw a name out there to you Junior Jones, Complete and Total domination. Plus by time Pac fought barrera he had already been KO once, and gone through two epic wars with Morales.

    Who above his natural weight did Pacquiao face "in his prime"?

    Will you shut the **** up for once? Do you have to be an ******* everytime someone disagrees with you? You like 15 years old? Jeez:patsch

    To answer the question I don't know. I do think a win over Shane would be more impressive than a win over Cotto (not because Pac's fight was at 145 because only a ******-hint hint you ****, would think that made a ****ing difference) but because I agree that at this stage Shane is the better fighter.

    However, when Pac was still a little guy his win over Barrera was very impressive. I don't buy the arguement about him being shot at all. Morales, yes, he was probably past his best but Pac deserves a hell of a lot of credit for the Barrera win. Shane is 38 years old but is probably a smarter fighter under Nazim, and that's why it's a difficult question to answer.

    Also Barrera ws ranked #1 or #2 P4P by most people right before the first Pac fight he was in his prime and was just destroyed in there.

    Barrera, Cotto, Hatton, Morales II are all better.

    This **** is laughable. People trying to defend it PBF.
    Mosley is a good win, but by no means better than Pac's higher rated victories.
    First, Mosley is 38 years old, and I don't care if he beat a slow, unmotivated (because he got his bricks taken away maybe), stationary Margarito....He's still slowed down a lot.
    Second, Pac has not only taken on the best fighters, but MOVED UP to fight them! He's not taking on prime fighters in his weight class (like Mayweather taking on Mosley) he's gaining weight, being a size disadvantage, and still beating them badly.
    Third, it also depends how Mayweather beats Mosley. If it's by incredible knock out that'd be impressive. If it's by controversial SD, or UD then that's not a good win. When pac wins....He doesn't go for *the nod* like some people. He tries to make a statement that he doesn't need the judges at ring side to score his fight because it won't last long.
    Mayweather KOing Hatton in the 9th with a check hook, or Pac KOing Hatton in the 2nd with a shot from around the world? What's more impressive? Also Hatton came off a great win against Paulie...So nobody could say he was SHOT.

    Barrera was p4p 3, 29/30 yrs old and Pac came up in weight and utterly destroyed him, KO.

    Shane is p4p 3(?), 38/39 yrs old and if Floyd were to win, he will probably do it via UD.

    I think the Barrera win ranks above this, easy.
