If Mosely was able to come out and fight Pacquiao like he did against Margarito it would be the fight everyone hopes it would.
If Mayweather had not taken so much time off i think we would all get the fight we want.
It was the best fight of Moselys career, but it was exactly that, i cannot see him turning out another performance like that again. Not to say its impossible but unlikely.
Mayweather doesnt enter into the mix in my opinion. Dont get me wrong this is the one fight i want to see this year more than any other, but take into account his unwillingness to negotiate for anything less than a majority of the takings and a ready made come back fight against a fighter nearly 2 weights below his own. i cant see Mayweather wanting to fight the best in order to be called the best.
Cotto Pacquiao should happen, and it should happen at WW. I know many will argue Cotto is too big for Pacman at the weight but how amazing would it be if pacquiao was to move up to WW again an this time win the title? If he fought at a ctachweight and loss it would rasie too many questions about his past fights, but if he fought Cotto at WW either way he would come off strong.
It's obvious you are emotionally involved with Margarito. You hate the guy and have completely disscredited the man because he was caught with something in his gloves. I can understand that but to be honest, I can't go that far.
The reality is, Marg's wraps didn't carry him throughout his career. If you think that putting a plaster like substance in your gloves is all it takes for you to be world champ, then your fooling yourself.
Mosley's performance against Marg wasn't overrated, it was great. Not but 2 years prior was Mosley singing the praises of Margarito and saying how he even wouldn't fight him. We all like to joke about it but Marg was being avoided big time at the WW division, including Mosley.
For a man to come out and do what he did to an iron chinned fighter like Margarito that doesn't stop punching or doesn't retreat at the age of 37 years old was amazing.
That performance was far from overrated and it showed the greatness of Mosley and I think that fight will attribute to propeling him to the HOF.
I was a big Marg fan before the Mosely incident. I realise that loaded glvoes alone doesnt make a world champion, but what it does do is throw all of his big wins into question. The Cotto fight inparticular, which had previously belived to be one of the best atheltic performances i had seen, will forever be marred by it.
scumbag cheater who also beat cotto and made him take a knee more then once....Ye cotto did great to fight with one eye, but he was never going to knock out clottey....and im not sure how far appart their chins are but margs chin is probably closer to clotteys then any1 else...So a KO over a person that relys alot on their chin....
As far as im concerned all of margaritos past victories are thrown into question after what happened with Mosely
I didnt mean over rated as in Mosely is a bad fighter, just i think people are reading too much into his performance against Margarito. Mayweather`s style would cause the most problems for Pacquiao, but at this moment in time i wouldnt want to see them fight because i dont think Mayweather is at his best, and i dont think he will regain his form fightin Marquez by draggin him up nearly 2 weight divisions. I wouldnt want any excuses for Mayweathers defeat.

A ninth round KO over a scumbag cheater, who psychologicaly was never in the fight after what happened pre-fight is better a 12 round close fought split dicision, fighting with only one eye for 9 of those rounds?
I know the final result is debatable, but i have more respect for Cottos win and performance.

Style wise I think the only two that have a chance at beating Pacman are Mosley and Mayweather. Say what you want about Mosley (calling him overrated as the OP did is idiotic) he's a great boxer and so is Mayweather and that's what it will take to beat Pacquiao.
I just don't think Cotto has the speed and work rate to beat Pacquiao. He's got the size and power but that won't matter if you can't catch what you want to hit.

You're just drunk.
Cotto's gift over Clottey proves more to YOU than Shane's win over Margarito...OK...now go sleep it off.
Dizzy mofo.
i see you made a strong arguement for your point there
very good.
i hope to read some more of your well thought through and articulate posts in the future.
:rofl::rofl:
NO WAY is cotto over clottey a bigger win than mosley over margs....

If Shane is overrated,Cotto doesn't exist.
You're a nervous Fanny Pac fan that wants him to fight the weakest link at 147...Cotto.
I still think an on form Mayweather is the best out of these 3, but again i cant see the arguement for Mosley over Cotto.
His fight against Margarito has gotten everyone a little over excited. Cottos win (i know its debatable) over Clottey proves more than Moselys over Margarito.
