    ....I'm not sure what he brings to the table against Mayweather.
    The more I think about this fight the more I favor Mayweather to win. I think at best Mayweather/Mosley might resemble Mayweather/De La Hoya. With Mosley winning enough early rounds to make the scoring interesting. However I think Mayweather is going to domate down the stretch and come away with a rather easy win.

    interesting thought, cant argue it. I hope at least Mayweather shows some aggression and the fight is a good one.

    even prime for prime, Pac is a far better fighter than Mosley. @ WW u could make a case for SSM but not really at this age

    I think Prime for Prime Shane > Pac man.

    Shane has been a great fighter but I dont see him having the tools to beat May although I could be wrong. I think Shane beats Manny now and definately beats him if the fight was earlier in his career

    I dont agree with this... Mosley would have destroyed Pac at lightweight, in fact he would probably derail him at WW right now. Why else would Roach ask for Sugar to come in at 143Lbs to fight Pac?

    Shane is better prime for prime. At LW SSM is arguably the best fighter ever. He should have stayed there for a few more years, IMO.

    Although right now I think Mosley's a bit overrated.

    Current Shane at welterweight beats Pac, old school Shane vs old school Pac(@lightweight), Shane dominates. Love PAc, but styles make fights and I don't believe his would match well with Shane's.

    The word overrated should never be used in the same sentence as Shane Mosley.

    Some dude on here called it the closest I've ever seen it called and I agree with him one hundred percent. He said:

    Mayweather UD Mosley
    Mosley ko Pac round 8
    Pac UD Mayweather

    It's not about who's greater than who, or who you want to win, its about styles and that's exactly as I see it too.

    Pretty close...though I'd change Mosley knocking Pacquiao to Pacquiao eeking out a close decision over Shane.

    I don't think Mosley is better than Pacquiao at this stage. Not even close.

    I do agree that Mayweather would beat Mosley easy though and that Pac will be the harder fight, if they fight that is.
