    Truly - anyone who has a ring rusty, 38, going on 39 year old Mosley as one of Mayweather's top 5 wins is beyond help.

    Having said that i think maybe it deserves to be in there.

    Because Dela Hoya was a clear favorite against Pac and every man and there dog had ODH winning by KO.

    Then soon as the fight is over oh Oscar was weight drained and he couldnt pull the trigger. Blah Blah Blah, but before the fight out of the 20 Experts at The Ring magazine i remember clearly 17 of them picking ODH.

    Now having said that Mosley wasnt the favorite but he was the top guy at Welter and i personally rate the win highly for PBF.

    Why because as far as i remember Mosley had PBf on ***** street and he was in serious trouble and he came back did what he did and now everyone says he was old and done.

    Both these fights in my eyes are highly great wins.

    IMO.

    I take your point, to some extent but I don't place OdlH in Pacquiao's top 5 wins, even though Pacquiao was the underdog. Moreover, Mayweather wasn't just the favourite to beat Mosely - he was 4-1 ON to beat him.

    People gave Mosley a Puncher's chance and when that one chance came, he couldn't finish the job. On the basis of a single chance that Mosley had, it's not a top 5 win for Mayweather, in my opinion - not when Mayweather has quite a number of comparatively better wins on his record.

    Crediting pac for his victories against Morales is like worshipping calzaghe's win over Eubank.

    PAC the underdog in that fight (2nd). PAC was the first boxer to legitimately knocked down the great El Terrible, not once but twice and first boxer to stop Erik Morales. That fight "SHOOK THE BOXING WORLD".

    I can't see the direct comparison really. Eubank had been running on half a tank for some considerable time before Joe got to him.

    That's exactly what i mean. Both Eubank and Morales were well past it.

    I dont remember Pacman coming in as the underdog in the rematch but did he really? even after morales got schooled by Raheem and showed everybody how shot he was? C'mon man. Yea pac knocked out damaged goods. That fight only shook the world of Pacland.

    Please you cant be serious.

    He had never been stopped ever and was a clear favorite before the fight.

    So funny how someone is done as soon as they take there worst beating in there career.

    I cant believe even when Boxing Experts say oh Pac was a Underdog soon as he beats them there was something wrong.

    It doesnt even have to be Pac it can be PBF or ODH or B-Hop or Jones Jr or Calzaghe.

    They could be the underdog and then when they win there had to be something wrong with the fighter.

    NO it couldnt be something simple like he was beaten by the better man on the night.
