    Because Pac is smaller.Mosley is bigger then Floyd, Stronger then Floyd and has a smart trainer who trains Hopkins and worked with Hopkins former trainer for along time.

      its alot of **** really
      Pacquiao is a southpaw who is faster than Mosley

      Every decent southpaw Floyd has faced he got hurt by; Corley and Judah.
      Manny Pacquiao possess the punching power and volume to seriously trouble Floyd.

      Mosley on the other hand out outboxed by ODH and Forrest, he cant deal with a good jab. This isnt going to be another Magarito who will come forward with next to zero defence.

        Being off balance and being hurt are 2 different things...

        I think Mosley-May would be close until the later rounds and Floyd would pull away...Floyd's style would frustrate Shane IMO...Shane would have to use his legs far more than he did against Margarito...when Cotto started boxing him he had no answer for it...

        I think Pacquiao gives Floyd a tougher fight right now, but I'd still go with Floyd...

          We won't really ever know until the fights are fought.

          One thing I can point out is, Manny has had more trouble with boxer technicians than Floyd has ever had with southpaws.

            Floyd got hurt in the 4th round against Judah, he was stunned

              I don't think he is, but some people believe he is, because he is a big welterweight.

                  first of mosley is just a better fighter than pac. not saying pac isnt great, but mosley is greater.

                  pac never dealt with boxers, mosley seen it all. only thing pac has is his southpaw stance which would bother floyd. but the superior ring smarts of mosley give him an edge. he was a smart fighter early in his career then he started just trying to overpower guys for some reason, now with naseem hes back to were he needs to be to take on anyone. pac only takes on straight forward, flat footed guys.

                    I think it's a tougher matchup because Mosley is bigger and stronger than Manny and Floyd. Manny is fast but Floyd is faster which means he will be able to hit and get out but against Shane it is a different beast. Shane may not be as quick as Manny but his shots are going to make Floyd respect and have him moving back without getting much in for himself. Shane is going to ware down Floyd imo. That's something that I don't see Pacquaio doing to Floyd.
