Would a win over Mosley be enough to put Mayweather ahead of Pac?

[Prime 407]

take away what ? none of mannys opponents are better then mosley

How bout Cotto? He beat Mosley....

[The_Demon]

ye no doubt

in terms of ATG ranking,mosley is better than anyone manny has beat

[Mr. Philadel]

y do people keep saying Shane is number 1 WW? doesn't the ring have PAC as number 1??

by doing that they just showed how much they fell off....they're not the bible of rankings no more!!

Having thought about this recently, I think it depends on the manner of Floyd's victory. Pacquiao's best opponent, the opponent that solidified his status as no. 1 was Cotto but it was the manner of victory more than anything. If Floyd is able to beat Mosley conclusively, then perhaps. It really comes down to this; do you rate Floyd or Pac as the better fighter, as number 1? That's what it comes down to. Who is the best fighter in the world?

Sam Peter beat James Toney...but who's better?!?
Taylor beat B.Hop TWICE.....but who's better?!?
Sven Ottke beat Glen Johson....but who's better?!?
3 HW's have knocked Wlad out....but are any of them better?!?

boxing is a sport you can't just watch with the naked eye.....in boxing its all about THAT night my man....THAT night!!....and of course the styles!!

[whirlwind]

yes, i believe so... Because to be number 1 pound 4 pound or in your weight class, you should be fighting the best, and Manny wasnt even the number 1 at welterweight and he was fighting number 5 at welterweight, Joshua "punching bag" Clottey... Mayweather Jr. is number 3 and hes taking on the number 1 fighter in his weight class, WBA Champion number 1 ranked Welterweight Shane Mosley... Plus, Mayweather Jr. was ranked number 1 P4P before he retired and that is the only reason Manny Pacquiao is ranked number 1 P4P

I think Floyd fellow American boxer writers who voted Pac Fighter of the decade instead of him may have another opinion in this matter.
