    Would Mosley be the toughest opponent on Pac's resume?

    Yes. Mosley is too strong and almost as fast as him.

    lol and if / when Pac beats Mosley, everyone will say he's old.

    I don't think Mosley would necessarily be a tougher fight then Cotto for Pacquiao. Pac's handspeed, footwork and southpaw style would give Mosley a lot of problems, imo.

    Pac would take Mosley apart...Shane doesn't have the workrate of Pacquiao...

    Yes, too bad pac's team isn't confident in fighting Mosley.

    A cachweight fight of 142 i guess? just so the age and the weight may play major roles in him loosing and retireing on his stoll aka De La Hoya

    Mosley is known for his speed, power, workrate, aggression, and durability. He would be very dangerous against anyone especially people smaller than him like floyd and pac. Bc of his physically advantages, people should give credit to floyd and pac even shane is older. But for the last few fights pac fought, majority of the people gave him credit while most people discredit floyds on similar opponents. People doesn't like floyd as much as they like pac.

    Not sure. It is a tough call.

    Barrera I, Marquez and Cotto can be argued harder matches for Pac.

    Barrera I - technically savvy, during his peak (best winning streak BEFORE and AFTER the match).

    Marquez - at that point in Pac's career, Marquez had his number.

    Cotto - only one defeat vs Margarito. Strong quick jabs, strong body puncher, natural welter. Technically good, if not better than Pac.

    SSM - natural welter. Fast and strong. Dual fisted. The argument against him is quite strong - 39 years old, if Cotto is shot with one bad defeat, how about 5? long lay off, stylistically probably not as difficult as JMM.

    In terms at the point of their career, Barrera I, JMM I, SSM of now and Cotto - in that order.

    yeah that was around the time of the Hatton fight, when no one thought Pac could get in the ring with a big welter like Mosley, Cotto, or Clottey. Obviously that's been proven wrong.

    Actually, after Mayweather beats him, people will say Mosley was too old and cherrypicked by Floyd.

    The Cotto fight was already made when he said that I believe... He was asked why they were fighting Cotto instead of Mosley, and he laughed and said "Cotto isn't Mosley"

    I don't think Pacquiao would be dumb enough to trade with Mosley...the dart in, pop-pop-pop, dart out approach would be effective, and Pac would either win by UD, or late stoppage.
