Question for everyone , most in particular for the floyd fans out there. Which fighter is more dangerous for Floyd? Mosley is no doubt the more powerful, bigger, stronger . Pac is smaller but fast, higher workrate, good combination puncher. Second Question. Does Floyd regret asking for extra test. Had he agreed to fight pac by normal procedure, he won't need to take the Mosley fight on now. Floyd now has to take on a very dangerous opponent if not more dangerous in terms of power, strength and size, and for less than half of the income he would have got from the Pac fight. Floyd obviously could not have predicted an earthquake would lead him into the possibility of having to meet Shane Mosley in the ring already. But in retrospect he may have just a few regrets? Or perhaps this has worked out far better for him,. yes there is less money but floyd may see shane as a easier fighter to beat compared to pac and Mosley is considered a big welter that everyone wants him to finally fight. Discuss.....
Mayweather would've had to fight both guys anyway. I also believe that he doesn't think either guy can beat him. If he's right, then fighting Mosley first puts him in a better position. Mosley is a good fighter, but I think Pac is more dangerous. Pac is younger, faster, left handed, and more unpredictable. Mosley is a still a good opponent though. If Floyd can beat him, expect Pacquiao to cave in to the blood testing demands.
Mosley. Simply because he has a steel wrecking ball for a head. I think PBF could KO Pac if he caught him good...Mosley ain't going anywhere.:nono
having said that. when was Mosley's last Knock down that he suffered? he does have a very good chin that boy. Who leaves themselves out more exposed though? Mosley or Pac. Pac does leave himself wide open very often.
Agreed except for PBF thing he can beat them. I honestly believe for the first time he has doubts for either one of them. Mosley is also a good choice first because he is older. The longer he waits to face him, the less credit and more criticism he will face (partially justified). Mosley is a more natural WW than Pac and much more experienced. Pac is left handed and unpredictable.
VS Vernon Forrest back in 02. A vicious headbutt had Mosley dazed and Forrest finished him off moments later. Mosley still got up and finished the fight with a concussion. That's the one and only time Mosley has been down. Pac and Mosley leave themselves open too much.
PAC would be the more technical and faster paced fight were as Mosley is going to make Floyd try and avoid a lot of dangerous punches .......and Mosleys chin is sturdy as hell so Floyd is going to have a mot harder time trying to hurt Shane as where i think he would have a chance of hurting Pac if he caught him right......So as far as danger id go with Shane.....Plus if you think about it ..this could turn out to be the biggest backfire financially for Floyd and his people if Shane beats the **** out of him....he would have then blown a $40,000,000 dollar payday trying to be coy.
Mosley is more dangerous hands down. Pac would lose against floyd, and no, i am not a mayweather fan.
mosley is bigger but anything else, pac is much better right now. that doesn't mean mosley is not dangerous anymore.
Shane is just a lunatic sometimes and I think his power is under-rated. I don't know why a lot of people here thought that Cotto hits harder. Shane could decapitate someone. Having said that, Pac is on a roll at the moment while Mosely not having fought in a year could affect him. I would go with Pac.
Mosley has been there with the big guys and could also punch. I feel Mosley right now with Nazeem is very a dangerous combination and bring a lot of experience and knowledge. Boxing is a big mental sport and Mosley could handle anything Mayweather tries to throw at him with mind games. Right now I feel Manny is so mad at Mayweather his focus and mind would be thrown off during training camp and fight night. Then again we would not know how he will perform without his secret substances.
