If Floyd beats Mosley, is it better than Pacquiao's win over Cotto?

beating a prime cotto > beating 38yo mosley

You think Cotto was in his prime when he fought Pacquiao?



Even FREDDIE ROACH said he wasn't in his prime.

Again, the way Floyd beats Shane will determine whether it was better or not. I don't expect him to KO Shane because he isn't very strong and Shane has a granite chin, but he should at least dominate him. If he does that, its definitely better than the Cotto win.

I am pretty suprised at the poll numbers. I thought Cotto would be winning in a wash. Guess not.

Yeah,everyone is seriously overrating Shane right now. I like Shane. He does have skills. I just think beating up Margarito has made him over-valued. I will root for Shane!

The version of Mosley that fought Cotto is obviously a better, stronger version compared to the current Mosley

[ballgamessuck]

Whether Mayweather's future win over SSM is greater than Paq's win over Cotto depends on how Mayweather wins. Aside from the first few rounds, Paq dominated Cotto. If Mayweather struggles with SSM, I would rank Paq's win higher, if Mayweather beats SSM pillar to post and knocks him down along the way, I would say Mayweather's win is a little better.

And I could easily say that version of Cotto that Mosley fought was faster, had much better punch resistence/defense, body work, and a better chin and left hand. He also didn't cut as easily. The only thing that I really think Mosley lost since the Cotto fight was his legs. He's still strong and quick. He did look horrible against Mayorga, but Naazim brought back his speed and reflexes.

lets put it this way, when was the last time mosely got bloodied and beaten the way cotto did against margs?? then he came back and fought a tough fight against clottey...cotto wasnt the same when he fought pac.

mosely is on a high right now, cotto wasnt. that determines it for me.

The way I see it...

Mosley vs Mayorga = Cotto vs Clottey
Mosley vs Margo > Cotto vs Jennings

And on top of that, Mosley dominated the guy who Cotto got KO'ed by. If Mosley had fought Berto, he would have knocked him out and then he'd have an even bigger case over Cotto. I really wish he would have been able to secure a fight.

So based on accomplishments in the last few years, Mosley without a doubt. And based on who is the better fighter as of now, Mosley without a doubt. I'd pick Mosley to stop Cotto late if they fought again. However if Mayweather barely beats him, I'll say Pac's win is better because he DESTROYED Cotto after the midpoint of round 4.

Eh, I don't know about that one.... I would have it Cotto vs Clottey > Mosley vs Mayorga

I just think you're seriously underrated Shane and kinda overrated that version of Cotto...

Don't get it confuse that Cotto win was a great win for Pac. A lot people try to discredit Pac for that fight. But, it was a great win. However, if Floyd wins in an impressive mannter that would be a greater win.

Just like if Pac fights and beats Shane by impressive fashion. That would be a greater win for Pac then the Cotto win...
