    Mosley is wide open to counters when he swings too wide at times. Thats why Cottos jab and straights looked great against Mosley when Cotto threw it.

      Both have decent chances of beating Mayweather, Mosley has power/reach and skill set to give him trouble but his legs will be his downfall IMO.

      Pac has a better chance than Mosley due to southpaw stance and highly unorthodox style, and lets not forget he now has footwork that can rival Floyds.

        Mosley and Pacquiao were both defeated by counter-punchers and they both do best against fighters who come forward. It's one of the reasons why both of them are underdogs against Mayweather Jr.

        Mosley is bigger, stronger, longer reach, and is very durable. I think he has the best shot at beating Mayweather because of those reasons.

          I voted Pac. He's like the energizer bunny...dude just doesn't stop! Packs a whollup too, with both hands, and can take hard hits. Nobody loves fighting more then Manny. My 2¢ Especially after what we watched what he did to Cotto and Clottey.

            Floyds going to make Mosley look silly, Mosley looks impressive against Margacheato. Margacheato comes straight forward and is nothing but a punching bag.

              You realize manny has been at WW for like a year. He could have fought cotto or mosley, and he chose cotto, probably because they are both under arum and plus cotto had beat mosley. then after that fight, shane was supposed to fight berto when the pac/floyd fight fell through, so he fought clottey. manny has not been at WW long enough to be accused of ducking anyone in the division.

                While I think both don't have too much of a chance of beating Mayweather, I'll have to give the edge to Pac.

                Mostly because Pac hasn't seem to aged yet, and Mosely tends to get too flat-footed at times.
