    Pacquiao vs Mosley. Bradley-Alexander is a good fight but its been overated by alot of people. I think people are forcing themselves to see something that really just isnt there I dont know if its the whole undefeated americans thing or what. Neither aside from 1 punch from Alexander (Urango) has been spectacular and both have beat alot of good competition but neither has beat great competition. Mosley has been wrote off by a couple of bad performences but this is still a very dangerous, world class fighter. Shane can still punch fast and hard and is incredibly tough and durable he is a longshot but hes a live dog vs the best fighter on the planet in Manny Pacquiao. Mosley and Pacquiao IMO is in all ways a bigger and better fight.

    Pac v Mosley is a big fight money wise, but for me personally Bradley v Alexander is bigger cos its a small step closer to see who's the best 140lbs fighter in the world,

    Bradley-Alexander will essentially determine who's the top guy at one of the deepest divisions in boxing. And it's promising to be a competitive even-money fight.

    Pac-Mosley is for some bull**** title, carries little or no implications for the future of the division, and is not likely to be competitive.

    You choose.

    I agree with Farmboxer
    The Braldey Vs Alexander fight was setup before his gift win against Kotelnik.
    Braldey doesnt wont Kotelnik - wrong style. Probably will fight Khan if he wins. Difference there is Kotelnik has the chin while both retain strong jabs.

    Also a counter point to KillSomething.
    IF Pac destroys Mosely like DLH or Hatton. That puts even more pressure on Maywether.
    OR if he doesnt and looks bad but still wins. Still puts pressure on Mayweather.

    Just realized that Haye and Mayweather have allot in common.
    They like dishing it out but dont want to take it.

    Problem is that Mosley will definitely do better against Pac than he did against Floyd. Shane won like 2 rounds tops against Floyd. With his size and power, and Pac's willingness to trade, I think he'll catch PAc with some shots and steal some rounds. It'll be a tougher fight for Manny than Margarito or Cotto was, imo.

    In other words, Floyd will jump all over that as proof that Pacquiao isn't on his level.

    You're right though...Pac has a chance to pile pressure on Floyd by stopping Mosley. You know Floyd's just going to write it off as a style difference though...

    In terms of general interest, Pac-Mosley is the bigger fight. In terms of actual significance Bradley-Alexander is the more meaningful fight. The top two rated, young undefeated champions unifying in one of the sports most exciting divisions. It's a pity no one outside of boxing seems to give a ****

    To me PERSONALLY, Bradley vs Alexander.

    Talk about the fight being hyped for what it isnt all you want, but its two fresh champs and top fighters in the division squaring off in a unification fight in one of boxings brightest divisions, and where one will officially lose their 0 and set them up for some real big fights in the immediate future, both are solid fighters and hopefully the winner of this fight will be crowning (hopefully) a major player in the sport for years to come.

    To me, Mosley vs Pac is a fight that shouldnt even be happening, period, and a fight in which to me is not in question as to who the victor will be, but how he will do it (imo). Why I would choose that just because of the names involved? Obviously to the casual fan and at the box office, it will be bigger, but to me personally, theres no way I miss Bradley vs Alexander, and I cant wait for it, Pac vs Mosley I will watch because I am a boxing fan but its pretty much a whatever fight for me, not really on my radar in terms of fights I am interested in.

    In P4P terms:
    #1-2 vs. #30-40
    or
    #7-12 vs. #20-30

    One veteran prime HOFer vs. one "washed up, just beaten" guy
    One young prime #1 in hottest division vs. one young prime #2-3 in hottest division

    Pacquiao makes that fight bigger because he would generate more money than Bradley / Alexander if he fought Paulie, Collazo, or Clottey II. Bradley / Alexander is the better matchup, in my opinion.
