    This seems like a trick question. Sugar Shane would destroy Pacquiao at 108, 112 and so on.

    No.

    Mosley is a great puncher in his prime, but he's very stationary and stands straight up. Pac wins 10/10 — 135, 140, or 147.

    A fight between the two at 135 would have been a good one! I'd only give that version of Shane a shot.

    I disagree The Mosley that fought Oscar and Vernon would beat Manny at 147. Those versions of Vernon and Oscar would beat Manny as well

    Shane looked bad versus Vernon Forrest. Once he got butted, then dropped, he lost almost all ability to fight through adversity. That is when he became gunshy and more timid through his retirement. Maybe the Shane who fought Oscar at 147. Maybe. Then again, Shane showed he was not mentally as strong as he was physically. And was possibly on PEDS fore that fight.

    And the same guy that Crawford works with is the same guy that was supplying Mosley with PEDs but I don't see anybody holding that against Crawford since we all know snack is steroids but still that Oscar would beat any version of Manny from 135 to 147 Oscar defeated better fighters than Manny Pacquiao and that Vernon Forest would probably beat Floyd and Manny Pacquiao as well

    Dude... Shane was a legitimate part of the BALCO scandal. Has f*ckall to do with Crawford today.

    And this is Shane v Pac. Don't care what Oscar or Viper might do to anyone else..

    Prime Shane wasn't all that sharp when I look back at his work.

    Pac is just plain better.

    I was actually going to make a really snarky remark that degraded some of Pacquiao's opponents. But then I realised that included Mosley and my comment wasn't going to make any sense. Then I realised that almost nothing I say makes sense and then I just got sad all of a sudden and now I'm really down, man. I mean, what have I been doing with my life? What is it all for? Have I inspired love or have I inspired hate? Have I inspired apathy? Is that what my mama raised me to do? No! She raised me to be a man! And I am not being a man! This thread has changed my life. I'm going to start spelling 'realized' with a 'z' like American people do it. My moms was American. I'm gonna do that in honour of HER. Peace!

    Doubtful. Also, is Shane allowed to juice? Cause he was probably juiced for those fights
