    At 135 pounds. Can Pacquiao overcome the size disadvantage? Could Mosley deal with Pacquiao's workrate and speed?

    Mosley had been past it for many years by the time he fought Pacquiao. And Manny was just starting to slip a little bit from his peak by the time the Mosley fight happened.

    Mosley easily at 35, any weight.

    Floyd beats both though.

    Pac beats Mosley in a great fight. Prime Mosley knocks Mayweather out. And Mayweather beats Pac. I'd be a great rivalry between those 3 if they were in their prime at the same time and none of this bull**** boxing politics were at work

    At 135, it's a tremendous fight. Mosley was very quick at that weight (maybe not Pacquiao quick) and had genuine knockout power. He also had a warrior's mentality and he would happily exchange when his opponent hurt him.

    With Pac's superior speed, I'd be inclined to go with him but it would be terrific to watch.

    Pacquiaos superior speed and workrate I think bother Mosley. As well as his use of angles. I think he gets a late stoppage or wins on points.

    But Mosley being the natural Lightweight might win through sheer size.

    Nah. At 135 Shane was faster and stronger.

    :huh

    What did Pac show you against David Diaz that leads you to believe he had superior speed to Mosley?

    To me Shane always had low boxing IQ...no jab, not great at making adjustments..,

    Yeah he's bigger but I could see him having trouble with a speedy southpaw

    At 135 it would have been a heck of a fight. I'd favor prime undefeated Mosley over Pacquaio at both 135 and 147.

    It would be a great match up! Both fighters have an incredible hand speed.

    So was Mosley. In Fact Mosleys KO% was way higher than Pac's ever was in his Prime.
