    Mosley.

    But the fight boxing needs hit him against Pac.

    Both are unpredictable, both are fast(Pac is faster of course), both have power and both have movement and skills. Only thing that puts Pac fully ahead of Mosley is age.

    On topic, my pick is Pacquiao.

    I just don't think Mosley will have the tools to beat Mayweather at this point in his career.

    Against Margarito you saw Mosley throw/land 3-4 jabs and then a hard right hook which 9 times out of 10 found it's target. This is mostly due to Margaritos woeful defense and it happened over and over until Margo wilted.

    You can't do that to Mayweather, he's too technically sound to have Mosley land on him like that, regardless of how fast SSM is. Floyd is just as fast if not faster and he'll counter those hooks.

    It'll be a great fight but I think Floyd will prove too much for him at this point.

    Pacquiao is unorthodox enough that his speed, agility and that southpaw stance will be a test for the Mayweather shell defense, it might turn out to be his kryptonite ... so I would go with Pac.

    With Pac, though he came from the lighter weights, with his recent on the roll impressive wins in WW I believe he really could beat Floyd. But if I put my basis on opponent size to really par against Mayweather, I'd rather rely on Shane.

    I think mayweather would edge out either one but on the upside i think both would bring the best out in him and we might get to see the floyd of the early 2000's

    Pac, Mosley is too old now ( and even at his best his predeliction to throwing himself into the attack would cause him to eat a lot of punches )

    Mosley. He has size,speed,power,great chin,reach and has Brother Naz in his corner,i have no doubt that from the fighters around hes the one with a better chance of beating fraud now lets see if fraud steps up.

    fraud? your a fraud, floyd will outbox shane and then will out box pac (if he gets off the roids) and then williams. Easy work then leave with his 0 intact

    i think mayweather wins both without too many problems..

    but pacquiao having destroyed de la hoya and hatton in more spectacular fashion than mayweather, and also cotto, who beat shane, has to be the bigger threat nowadays.

    Id back FM to beat both MP & Mosely, better pure boxer than both, neither fight would be a `Gatti` tho, thats for sure.
