    Pacquiao would have embarrassed that Mosley as bad as Floyd did or worse and you know it. He looked completely shot in there. He was huffing for air in the middle rounds and looked like an old man every time he threw a punch.

    Pac and mosley wouldn't go past six rounds, and it's a pick'em fight.

    Utter bollocks.

    Pacquaio is a hit or be hit fighter who has shown against good boxers that he's very susceptible to being countered (Morales, Marquez)

    You put that in against Mosley and it's a completely different animal to what we just saw. Mosley was huffing for air cause he kept getting smashed to the face by crisp right hands and missing his wind up shots, he also got so anxious and nervous against Floyd that it robbed him of energy.

    Woulda...
    Coulda...
    Shoulda...
    But didn't!

    Why? Because Pac was scared! Mosley would be a stylistic nightmare for Pac. The video evidence is right there. You are so much of a "believer" that you refuse to even soak in the VIDEO evidence of his trainer ducking the fight! :patsch

    This. It would be just like the Oscar fight, albeit a little more competitive in the early going. Shane was so slow and uncoordinated against Floyd. . Pac would box circles around him. Hell, I'd even give Berto a really good shot at beating that Shane.

    I don't see what is so hard for people to understand that Mosley would not look like that against Pac. Mayweather's style and ring IQ is the reason he nullified Mosley's strengths, not because Mosley was shot. And it certainly doesn't mean Pac would be able to do that...

    Pac's style would have Mosley swinging in my opinion, he wouldn't be that hesitant to throw, and would not miss as much when he did.

    Says the guy who said Duran would have crushed Floyd with that shot (Mosley's punch) at 147 pounds even though Duran KO'd nobody of note at that weight.

    You don't know what the **** you are talking about and the only thing as ******ed as your comments is your avatar picture.

    Bull**** - I probably give Pac an advantage in the fight and expect him to win, but he'd take some heavy shots during the fight and could very well crumple against Mosley.

    Because people aren't smart enough to realise that at this level, physical traits mean very little because fighters are so well prepared and know what's expected of them in the ring.

    They underestimate the mental side of boxing, the underestimate the skill side of boxing and believe it comes down to physical traits.

    They're wrong, basically.

    Hopkins for years was defeating guys much younger than him and making them fight slow, dirty, boring fights. Why? Cause anytime you looked to open up on him, you took punches.

    Floyd does exactly that himself.

    Against Pacquiao, that version of Mosley would have fought at 142.

    yeah same Pac who KO'd Hatton with a single shot, and KD'd Cotto twice with single shots and slapped silly Oscar's face a million times. :deal

    I said that version of Shane that showed up would be dismantled by Pac. Shane simply wasn't there mentally that night.

    Shane wasn't there mentally yet landed three shots that would rate in potentially the Top Six punches Floyd has ever taken in a single round?

    He was there mentally, he just got destroyed mentally following that when Floyd took over.
