    Stranger things have happened in boxing, what happens in Mosley Knocks Manny out?

    *if


    Where does Manny go from there? Assuming a rematch happens and Mosley wins again, will that be the end of the Mayweather-Pacquaio hype?

    Also how much will Pacquiao's reputation be damaged. Remember, Roy Jones was given the fighter of the decade award for the 90's but his place in boxing history has been questioned since his losses to Tarver, Johnson and, more recently, Calzaghe.

    Almost everyone now see's Hopkins higher on the all time great list than Roy simply because Hopkins has stayed consistent. Is that likely to happen to Pacquiao? If he losses to Shane, will Floyd begin to be seen as the better fighter?

    What you guys think?

    I laugh, then I laugh, then I laugh again, because that's exactly what Pacquiao deserves.

    And yes, there would be no argument that Mayweather is the better fighter.

      If Manny gets knocked out - or even beaten - by Shane, you will need to send a paramedic to Floyd's house with oxygen. Mayweather will be laughing that hard.

      It would reinforce the position of those who claim that Manny avoided african american style boxers or fighters with speed.

      It would remove manny's name from any atg lists. Those types of fighters don't lose to very shot, 40 year old WW's.

      A loss to this ultrashot Shaker Shane is the worst possible thing for Manny.

          Laughing my azz of at this silly remark. Pacquiao legacy is already sealed as a ATG.

          However, if Mosley was to shock the world it would sure dent Pacquiao. And of course Mayweather would probably suffer a heart attack if Mosley KO'd Pacquiao.

                  The only IF thread you should be making is IF manny thought he was gonna get ko by shane mosley would he take the fight? OR IF Manny agrees to testing for once will floyd come to the table...those are the only IF threads that should be made.

                  And Roy Jones career was not based off Tarver fight. Roy went up in weight to get the heavy weight title and come back down 20 something lbs and got ko...The boy was bad in his prime YOU MUST"VE FORGOT....Roy Jones beat HOPKINS in his prime when it counted most...

                    I'm a huge RJ fan, but neither he nor Hopkins were prime in that first fight.
