Yea, and Crawford was rocked by Gamboa. We all know what happens when you go full jelly leg against a prime Pacquiao. There is no coming back from that.
Mosley was one year removed from almost taking Floyd's head off. Mosley was much bigger than Pac and the styles match up meant Mosley would have his opportunities to punch out the much smaller man. Instead, Pac knocked him down and shut him out 12-0 and had him running for dear life.
Well to be honest, Mosley was never the same fighter after the Vernon Forrest fights. He still would have beaten most, if not all the top 10 besides Mayweather and Pacquiao, but he was obviously not what he once was.
Crawford. His timing beats Pacquiao's speed. Pacquiao always struggled with counterpunchers that could read & time him (Marquez, Morales & Mayweather).
Ahhhh recency bias. Yeah im gonna stay away from here for awhile. Bud beat spence suddenly he'll kick the ass of 2009 pac and even pbf
Mosley landed one punch on Mayweather and then proceeded to get his butt kicked for the rest of the fight. Prime Mosley was at 135. I reiterate, Pac beat most of his HOF opponents when they were way past prime.
You should research before you hate. Mosley went on to stand toe to toe with Clenelo, but ran for his life against Pac. Pac made him run. Let me know which current or past lightweight-sized fighter would make Mosley run.
Barrera, Morales, Marquez, DLH, Cotto, Mosley will all be in the hall of fame one day if not already. Mosley, De La Hoya, Morales had obviously seen better days, but only De La Hoya was totally "shot". Barrera was smack in the middle of the best run in modern Featherweight history. Cotto had not been beaten fair and square and was 27. Marquez was as good as ever.
