    This fight seems fairly likely to get made. And it should satisfy a lot of critics.

    Will Manny fight an African-American?

    Will Manny fight an opponent who has good handspeed and knockout power?

    Mosley knocked out Margarito, why couldn't Pacquiao? Maybe Mosley is better than Pacquiao?

    Mayweather fought Mosley, is Pacquiao scared of Mosley?

    This fight would be a barnburner, there's no doubt about it. Straight ahead, no running. Fast punching, not tons of defense, etc.

    Mosley is a commodity, a known quantity. He will make the fight. He seems to be well underway in that process, actually. No bullsh*t; no garbage excuses. Mosley wants the fight and he's ready to make it happen, unlike others.

    I'm a huge Mosley fan. He deserves the payday and the spotlight this fight would give him. He's a true warrior, and he deserves a marquee fight with another warrior that would showcase both of their skills.

    Make it happen.

    Mosley is much larger (5'9", 74" reach) than Pacquiao (5'6.5", 67" reach) is. He's fast, and he is the only person to ever knock out Margarito. He has the power. He's coming to fight, not to run. If he catches Pacquiao, that could be very serious trouble for the Filipino.

    Mosley has also never been stopped, so anyone who thinks that Pacquiao will just walk through him is delusional. Mosley is a hard, tough guy who lives for the in-close exchanges. That's what he wants, and Pacquiao will give them to him.

    Manny wins with speed, but would get hit by Shane and possibly hurt, but Manny would gut out the win with his speed and win a UD.

    If Mosley hurts Pacquiao, then Pacquiao isn't likely to hold on as Floyd did when Floyd got caught with the big right hand. So, that could mean danger for Pac-Man.

    Manny wins. At this point he's a better boxer than Shane and a far more dangerous boxer-puncher . Shane's worst problem is his mental fortitude. His heart pumps kool-aid. When he gets frustrated he resorts to only throwing big bombs one shot at a time. Plus he's only in it for a paycheck.

    Mosley at this age is definately not better than Pacquiao and I don't think many people question that.

    Mosley is 1-3 in performances in recent fights.

    Mosley is the best opponent available besides Mayweather. IMO (With name value)
    & No Williams & Martinez need not apply...

    Prime Mosley would outfight him and get a KO. This version of Mosley loses. Didn't you hear him after his fight with Mora? He clearly said that he doesn't want to be put in with movers at this stage of his career. emmanuel uses his legs A LOT!
