        Why is Mayweather fighting Ortiz after what Maidana did to him?

        But to answer your previous question, maybe to show Mayweather up, so Floyd can't claim beating Mosley as a great victory, as Pacquiao beat him more convincingly.

            aside from easy money, it was a stay busy fight and he was fighting his first African American an issue made by haters that is now no longer an issue....

            in hind sight imho fighting Mosley is a step closer for us to see the PAC-PBF fight ...

                so pac fights an african american who fights like a mexican to adress him not fighting mobile and slick opponents?

                Very weird imo.

                                But he didn't really do this did he? I though Floyd looked great vs Mosley despite limited footwork.. he stood toe to toe with him. Pacquaio looked pretty tentative in there with Mosley.. even the last few rounds after the "KD" he didn't look all to great despite getting pissed

                                    Check the score cards and the punch stats for and against, all favour Pacquiao.

                                    Pacquiao won more rounds, lost fewer, landed more punches, got caught with less, landed the more hurtful punches and was never troubled by anything that Mosley threw back unlike Mayweather.
