    Mayweather over Mosley.

    I picked Cotto to beat Pac, but then I realized that Cotto was ruined by Margarito. I think last night's Shane whups Cotto who has no punch resistance left.

    Floyd beating shane...cotto was #8 in the world and shane was #3....on top of that shane was considered by most to be the man to beat up until floyd fought him..after floyd beats you u dont get any credit for anything...all those great wins and talk about how floyd would lose to this guy or that guy is just that up until the fight gets signed with the dumbass fans...than the fighter becomes old and shot and all that

    Floyd's UD Pac still struggled for 5 or 6 rounds Shane landed only 2 real good shots. Floyd could have stopped Moseley in my opinion but just didnt he had him in the palm of his hand and chose to dominate and embarrass rather than KO

    plus Cotto recently TKO'd

    Moseley on a mean streak

    Tough one, very tough.

    Pacs win over Cotto blew me away at the time, people forget how much bigger and stonger Cotto was meant to be and Pac just took him apart but then Floyd has just made a HOF fighter and his biggest threat in the division look very average for almost 12 rounds. It's hard to top that.

    I think what makes the Pac win seem better was the fact it was a more explosive & exciting fight, whereas Floyd made it look almost a formality.

    Pacquiao's two knockdown's and brutal schooling of cotto >>> floyd's boring psuedo skilled aggressor mode on shane's gassed state.

    Close but Pac was just so much more punishing and devastating.. Both were very impressive depends on what style you prefer.

    If only Shane was in fighting form and not gas out after 2 rounds, then Floyd's win would have been more impressive. But the fact is Mosley almost KDed Floyd in the 2nd round and then he ran out of gas without Floyd doing anything.

    Definately floyd over mosley. Mosley is a better fighter than cotto who was damaged guds and didnt impress in the previous fight against clottey. Mosley was da WW champ and 3rd p4p and yet floyd dominated him and even looked stronger than him which nobody expected and he also showed how gud his chin is.

    floyd was making him miss by the start of round 2 and connecting some good punches but it is too strange for mosley to have gassed-out and breathing through his mouth in round 4 already. top class elite athletes should not be like that unless somethings wrong with them.
