    Mosley was 39 off an 18 month layoff and then fought to a draw with Mora.
    Mayweather has no knockout power and Mosley rocking him showed Floyd's vunerability to two handed fighter. Mosley faked a jab to the body and that was it. Floyd would have serious problems with the greatest of all time.
    He would be safer in jail IMO. End of story.

    Judah got his ass whipped and you have to tell the whole story! Judah knew Floyd very well bc they use to spar together! Styles make fights!

    Floyd dominates Cotto, Margo and any other flat footed fighter! You need to look at boxing factual dude! Manny and Floyd have different styles. Floyd is a master boxer while Manny is more of a brawler/boxer. A boxer goes out and box and win rounds and break a fighter down from a technique prospective while a brawler punches and tries to knock his opponent out! Get real dude!

    Mayweather UD the Hoya Pac fought
    Mayweather UD the Cotto Pac fought (though I think this fight could actually be competetive in spurts, more competetive then the Pac fight and Id still like to see this matchup)
    Mayweather UD the Clottey Pac fought
    Mayweather late TKO the Hatton Pac fought
    Mayweather UD the Margarito Pac fought


    Just IMO...

    Just like how I said before the fight, that regardless of how much trouble Margarito gave Pac, it would have nothing to do with Mayweather, how badly Pac beat these guys compared to how bad Mayweather would beat them means nothing. They fight in two different styles, and Mayweather doesnt have Pacs power or aggression, of course he wont be busting these fighters up and manhandling them about.... its not within his physical ability, nor is it his style. But he would probably whitewash most of them all the same in a similar level of dominance, only in his own, boxing and science oriented way.

    I dont put much stock into who did what better against common opponents unless its an extreme, extreme case.

    The sad thing is, out of those 5 opponents.... Mayweather has only fought 2. And Mayweathers been at 140 and above waaaaaaaaaaay longer.

    Time to open the vault, and go back to boxing 101.

    Part A.: Styles make fights

    Of the mentioned, only Cotto may have given him serious trouble. If it had happend when first suggested at jr welter, I'd have Floyd by KO/TKO. Welterweight MD or UD.

    Floyd made Marquez look like an idiot, whom has been Pacquiao's most difficult opponent of recent. It does have some meaning, but not as large as you'd like to think.

    Am I in the minority that like both Floyd and Manny?

    I agree 100%. Frazier was easy work for Foreman yet gave Ali life and death. Still, Ali was able to weather Foreman for a late stoppage after having exhausted him.

    Comparing Pacquiao's performance against Margarito with a hypothetical performance of Mayweather against Margarito just doesn't work in boxing.
