    Better win - Pac v Cotto, or Floyd vs Shane?

    Which do you think?

    Both were were remarkable performances - Pacquiao walking down a big, strong, elite WW until he was retreating and in survival mode. And let's not forget that Miguel looked real sharp at the start.

    Then you have Floyd - who basically also walked down a big, strong WW in Mosley, who himself went into survival mode.

    Of course, there are mitigating factors for both opponents - Cotto was undoubtedly damaged goods after Margs and Clottey. And Shane gassed early on - when I saw how tired he looked after the second round, I had a feeling something wasn't right with him. Maybe those rumours about two consecutive training camps taking alot out of him, at his age and level of inactivity, were true. Let's be honest, neither Shane or Miguel were prime (Margs knocked that out of him).

    I'm honestly finding it difficult to pick which was a better win. Do me a favour, guys. Let's not go with the one your favourite fighter won.

    I wouldve picked a 2009/10 Mosley to stop that Post-Marg Cotto at 145.

    Floyd gets my vote.

        Cotto won every round of the Margarito fight until the plaster hardened. Now he's damaged goods?

          Remember that Pac was moving up in weight for his fight with Cotto.

          I think Pac's win over Cotto is better because it was his first real welterweight challenge. (zombie Oscar doesn't count)

          Mosley did look a bit shot/overtrained to be honest.

            I have to say the Cotto win, close though.

              I think they are the exact same win. More impressive than expected wins where Pac and Floyd dissected a fighter not at their best, but arguably at the top of the division.

                  Mosley for me. Mosley would have beaten that Cotto and still would imo.
