Mosley is an ACTUAL welterweight, and the welterweight champion at that.
Pacquiao is great but a fight with mayweather would be for a mythical pound for pound title and nothing else. Neither Mayweather nor Pacquiao is the champ in the division they would be fighting.
Mayweather-Mosley on the other hand, is for the definitive #1 spot in the welterweight division.
It may not be bigger, but it could be a better action fight, and its more meaningful
I think beating Mosley is more important for Floyd's legacy....Floyd vs. Pac could literally be a mismatch if it goes the way I envision. Thing is, if Pac can't handle Floyd's movement and defense capablities he's up sh-t creek. Mosley is a more diverse fighter.

I agree it's a better and more meaningful fight especially since I think either of them beats Pacquiao right now. After this fight, I don't know. It's gonna be tough and may take a lot out of both guys. (good for Pacquiao) :boxing:
Mayweather Pacquiao is a better fight by the way, but Mosley Mayweather is a great alternate
mayweather-pacquiao is a better fight for floyd because floyd will wallk right thru pacquiao where as shane may actually give floyd problems

I guess it depends on your definition of "meaningful". I will say this, though, Mosley is a tougher fight for FM, even with Pacroid juicin' it up.
When would the ring belt be in play?
Pacquiao-Mosley or Pacquiao-Mayweather (1 vs 3, and the board would make the exception most likely) . Pacquiao has the number 1 spot in their rankings and honestly I wouldn't really argue it.
It's the number 1 spot, but I don't think you could consider the winner the welterweight champ. Well it wouldn't be for the ring title anyway.
