    lol at all this nostalgic Oscar love. he was inconsistent as hell and didn't even look masterful in some of his best performances.

    He has a better style for trying Floyd than Mosley does though. Oscar isn't a slugger.

    I know how prime mosley fights.. Pac would beat all of Mosley's previous opponents @147 including him.. :deal

    Maybe you don't know the word "improvement"..

    Let me tell you, you think guys like Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Diaz, Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Mosley and Margarito does not hit harder than the guys who KO/KD Manny? :patsch

    That's what you guys always say.. When somebody gets a beating, he's past his prime.. When somebody did a great performance, he can beat Floyd or Pac.. The same thing over and over again.. :-(

    And Marquez is just one hell of a fighter.. :good

    Floyd likely loses to DLH, but wins against Mosely.
    Pac likely loses to Mosely, but wins against DLH.

    What advantages would Manny have over a Prime Mosley? Could prime Mosley let his hands go?

    Did he have great hand speed and foot speed? Okay then. Manny gets beat by prime Mosley. :deal

    2000 version of Floyd was also a better version of what you see left today...so I wouldn't just jump to an answer.

    Both Beat Pac. Floyd's still a tougher call because both Shane and Oscar have been troubled with "boxers" in the past.

    FLoyd at that time was also not at his best. I think that's why Floyd points to both being in their 30's.
    Go back and watch the fights. Even during the Hatton time, I didn't think Floyd was the same fighter he was at his best..specifically from an "athletic" standpoint (which makes a difference).

    And Floyd certainly isn't at his best now. how do I know? Age? not quite. I know because Freddie Roach wants Pac to fight him.

    Prime Mosley beats prime Mayweather.

    Prime DLH would give Floyd fits.

    Prime Pac beats Prime DLH because he can't handle southpaw fighters very well.

    Prime Mosley probably has the edge over Prime Pac, and I would favor him slightly.

    The fighting technique would be the main advantage..

    Mosley would let his hands go, but will it hit Pac most of the time? I bet he'll get countered more than he can hit..

    I don't think that's much of the difference, but Pac would win over him.. :smoke
