    **** me, mosley is one of the most over-rated fighters ever. list the top 6 fighters mosley has beat and you will see why.

    mosleys had his ass whupped against proper boxers like forrest and wright, he was 38 when he fought floyd.

    pacs beat way better fighters than mosley and this is coming from someone who wants mayweather to beat pac and someone who thinks mayweather will beat pac.

    Whoever says Barrera was shot before the first fight is an ignorant fool. Barrera was 28 years old(if not younger) coming off wins against Kelley, Morales(Rematch), Hamed and whoever else I'm missing. Above all he was a HUGE favorite going in this fight with VERY few giving Pacquiao any chance at all. Now that he lost he's shot and didn't belong there?, that's ******ed coming from whoever says this and honestly believes it.

    Those guys were closer to their prime than Pac was. Against Barrera I, MAB was a year past his peak while Pac was 6 years from his peak. :hey

    Pac did beat Cotto who beat Mosley, however it can be argued Cotto wasn't the same post Margarito, also it is argued that Mosley was "past it" facing Floyd.

    Its always hard to debate these arguments, but all I'll say is that they've both beaten elite fighters and deserve all the credit they get.

    Can't agree with that at all, When Cotto beat Mosley, he was somewhere in the middle but right now he is over the hill.

    Mosley fought a close fight with Cotto.

    Pacquiao smashed Shotto after getting his chin cracked by Margarcheato.

    Please Cotto took took a career changing beating. Anyone who knows boxing knows that. He was damn near running in the Clottey fight.

    Pac hasn't faced a legit threat at WW yet other than Clottey and Clottey even said he was deathly ill. That isn't Pac's fault though so Clottey is the only fighter I would say was "good".

    WTF kinda question is that? Ever heard of Marco Antonio Barrera? He crushed him in his prime. Far more significant win than anything Mayweather has.

    Cotto was damn near running in the Mosley fight too, which like the Clottey fight he also won.

    Has Floyd fought anyone as good as Barrera or prime JMM?
    The Cotto that Pac beat > Mosley that Floyd beat

    I hope Mosley fights Clottey. Easy win for him.
