    easily Mayweather against Mosley, and i mean easily.

    Mosley still had something left in him, De La Hoya pretty much didn't and was fighting at 145 something he hasn't done in over 8 years.



    Edit: can't believe people are actually voting for Pacquaio, ****en *******s man damn. Damn Asero u made this thread, **** i didn't even know obviously you're gonna vote for Pacquaio.

    Mosley was more of a menace at that point because oscar was too weak at that weight. 150 catchweight for pac hoya would have made it a better win for Pac. so i gotta go with Mayweather. P.S. stoned.

    Obviously Pacquiao over DLH because Mosley didn't have to drop to a weight he hasn't fought in years while DLH was the #2 welterweight at the time.

    Mosley was actually more shot in that fight. But yeah DLH was dehydrated.

    They're about even. Pac was moving up in weight to 147 for the first time against Hoya, who no one was giving him a chance against.

    Mosley was old and looking shot when Floyd fought him (which was further validated tonight), so I can't rank that victory much higher. Both guys were old and over the hill. They're both rather insignificant victories in hindsight.

    Virtually everyone except for Pacquaio and Roach gave Pacquaio no chance of beating Oscar.

    Virtually everyone picked Floyd to win by decision against Mosley.

    Easiy Mayweather over mosley. A shot Mosley beat up a top WW in margarito, while a weight drained Dela Hoya did what exactly before losing to pac?

    Pac was a big underdog vs DLH and went up 2 divisions to fight him.
    Pac made DLH a proud fighter quit on his stool punishing him and winning every round.

    Mayweather was the betting favorite vs Mosley but it was expected to be a test for him. Mayweather cruised to an easy UD after getting rocked in rnd 2 by Mosley.

    Personally I would pick Pac, i think he would've beaten any version of Oscar that night. He did the same to Hatton and Cotto a couple fights later who were much higher ranked fighters than DLH so it's unfair to put that win solely down to DLH being weight drained. Mosley as seen today wasn't exactly close to his best vs Mayweather either and was possibly PED drained.

    Not really. DLH just realized how faded he was.

    In the proper context both wins are overrated but no doubt Pac's win over DLH is the better win. Noone(in quotes) gave Pac a chance to beat DLH.

    Got a split decision against Floyd a year 1/2 earlier? The same span of time that Mosley had beaten Margarito prior to fighting Floyd.
