    Exactly. That's why I don't understand why some people are acting like Mosley is going to be Floyd's toughest fight ever.

      I could see pac Knocking floyd out with a punch out of nowhere. Pac is more dynamic offensively right now than mosley.. When i watched margarito-mosley again last night i just can't see how mosley's gonna get to floyd. Mosleys footspeed will keep him from the outside getting potshotted by floyd. Pac has the footspeed and the activity to catch floyd.

        Shane is dangerous because when he starts to fall behind, he's gonna start to really let loose and fight. Floyd's never seen that by a naturally larger man. Sure, Oscar tried it, but Mosley's just got superior natural attributes that make him tougher.

        Plus he's nearly impossible to hurt.

        But I do not agree that Shane is tougher than Pacquiao for Floyd. I think it's a foregone conclusion to be honest. Floyd with an 8-4, 9-3 type UD with Mosley stealing some rounds on aggression and activity.

        I think Pac has a better chance to beat Floyd than Shane does, but I also think Pac stands a good chance at being stopped by Floyd, which Shane doesn't.

          Thanks to everyone for their comments.

          I still say Mosley will be tougher though because Mosley can make it a physically tough fight.

          I consider Manny to be more of a finesse fighter even though he is aggressive. I don't think Mosley will have trouble with Floyd in the clinch, but Pac would.

          We shall wait and see.

            I can't picture him doing **** against Shane but running and holding.
            I def could see Floyd hurting Pac tbh.. he has reverted to more potshot style fighting bigger guys, i think he has no problem being more offensive vs Pac (bit like he was vs Judah).

            Mosley on the other hand.. damn the guy could ****ing knock Floyds head off with one punch ( i don't believe Pac can). Can't imagine Floyd taking to many shots like Margaritto did if Mosley catches him and Mosley still has v fast handspeed (just not footspeed) at his age. This is a great match up in my view im really excited i like both fighters though.

            Basically i view this as a much closer fight, imo Floyd would beat Pac badly, Marquez did it i don't see why Floyd who is bigger and a bit faster wouldn't..

            im 50/50 with this Mosley/Floyd fight tho..

              I thought Cotto showed some skills against Pacquiao in the early part of the fight. It's just that Pacquiao's quicker hands and better stamina carried the day combined with Cotto's shaky chin. Mosley has neither a shaky chin or questionable stamina.

                  I think after the second KD Cotto really just lost it, the first 2 round or so he was looking very decent boxing and popping Pacs head back with the Jab. He seemed to be doing well, problem was he tried to fight after the first KD rather then box. The likes of Marquez and Floyd are alot better boxers though and don't lose there heads so easily and throw the flight plan out of the window. See Marquez vs Pac 1 he got KD 3 times but stuck to it came back and put on a 1 sided ass whooping.

                  If that was Cotto he would have folded mentally and started running
