    I actually think Pacquiao is a tougher fight for Floyd than Mosley is now.

    Sure, Mosley looked good against Margarito. But Margarito wasn't all there that night. And a big factor of Mosley looking good in that fight was the fact that Mosley wasn't coming off a year long layoff. Now Pacquiao on the other hand is at the top of his game and he knows what it's like to be in the gym. I'm afraid that if Mayweather fought Mosley now, he may be getting a mediocre version of him. I'm talking about the same version that looked like ass against Mayorga. I know Mosley-Mayweather would crown a champ. But what I say is let's see how Mosley looks against Berto before we jump to the conclusion that he's Floyd's toughest fight. I do want to see Mayweather fight both guys regardless though. And I never thought that Pacquiao could beat Shane Mosley either. But after last night, I wouldn't totally rule it out.

    He's a different fighter than Cotto.
    Faster by hand and foot.
    Better defense, better counterpuncher, better stamina.
    It wouldn't be the same fight.
    Shane has a better chin than Pac.
    Better power as well.
    They both are threats to him.

      This is why I want to see a Pacquiao-Mosley fight and Floyd gets left out for now, that way we can see who is the tougher fight for Floyd. Mosley just seems so inconsistent to me. He had Cotto practically in almost the same position that Pacquiao did last night, and he let him off the hook at MSG of all places. Collazo was even giving Mosley the business a little bit until he hurt his hand. I know the Rican posters like Ch@mpbox discredit Mosley's win because of that. But he's got a point. It's well documented that Collazo had to have surgery on his thumb after the fight was over with. So really, the only time that Mosley has put on a scintillating performance over a fighter considered at the top of their game within the last few years is against Margarito. Pacquiao I think has better foot work, and if you notice he has improved his jab just like Mosley did against Margarito.
