    Before I start keep the Flamos and ******* **** out of this thread, this is a grown man discussion.

    Has Pac fought anybody as good as a 38 year old Mosley over 140 that was the real question sorry, I left that part out.

    I used a 38 year old Mosley, because if where talking about prime Mosley the answer is NO!

    Marquez was better in both fights than SSM is at this stage. Barrera in the first fight too. Sasakul...

    A technician like Ledwaba may have been better than a 38 year old SSM as well.

    Clarification question: Do you mean a once p4p level fighter who has declined to a shell of his former self?

    Like DLH?

    Marquez looked better vs Mayweather than Mosley with the exception that Mosley had the best single round. Mosley looked so old like a shell of his former self. More than a year of inactivity and pushing 40... not a good combo plus ****ed up training coming off the training for Berto. Not good.

    Yes he has if we compare with today's version of Mosley. The 1999 Mosley I would have said no.

    Prime Marquez and near prime Barrera are both better than this version of Mosley. I'd also bet on the version of Cotto that Manny beat to win over the version of Mosley that Mayweather beat.

    To tell you honestly the Mosley that fought Floyd was way worst than Clottey i think. No stamina at all. Can't pull the trigger. So to answer your question, Pac has fought A LOT of fighters better than the 38 year old Mosley. End of thread.....

    I think Barrera has more skills and is a better fighter than 1999 Mosley.

    Unless Cotto has slipped very, very far, ( which I see ZERO evidence of) there is no way that Mosley at 38, 4 months away from 39 is better than Cotto, especially when he couldn't take him 3 years ago at 36. Prime for Prime Shane is better than Cotto but right now Cotto is either in his prime or near his prime, while Shane is 5 + years removed from his, as evidenced by fights with Estrada, Cruz, Collazo, Mayorga and Cotto himself. Cotto on the other hand went on to beat Josh Clottey after the Margo fight, which he would NOT have been able to do if he was shot.

    If you're gonna claim that Cotto is washed up, thats fine BUT you can't have it both ways, no way in hell you can say Cotto is done but turn around and say Shane is not.
