    Or was a victory of Mosley still respectable?
    Mosleys Victory is still respectable than Berto. Berto is no match on Pacs ability even if he is undefeated and in Prime. It is not easy to find someone to match with Pacman. The winner of Floyd-Oriz will be the explosive fight for Pacman. If not we can see a rematch between Pac-Cotto at 154.

      Neither was Mosley, Mosley was no threat to Pacquiao and the only reason he managed to land any big hits on Floyd was because Floyd fought his gameplan...he wouldn't have ever hit Floyd flush if he boxed around the ring like in the past.

        He would of got a lot of credit just by accepting Mosleys challenges when he went to the Wild Card gym TWICE asking for the fight!! Mosley was THAT DUDE to beat at the time but was told either come down to 142 or there's no fight!!

            Who are these people that wanted to see the Mosley fight outside of Pac fans?

            Of course he would have gotten more credit for beating a young prime undefeated fighter.

                  He would have looked better in beating Berto, because Berto would not have been as hard to hit. Pac just didn't look as good as he usually does when he fought Mosley

                  Cotto ran for most of the 2nd half of his fight with Pac, but Pac still got to him. He just couldn't do it against Mosley for some reason.

                    Mosley - bigger name, better legacy. Berto - proving that he can beat a prime contender. Dunno.

                      Its funny. Floyd stans say Floyd made the right choice in choosing DLH over Margarito, because DLH was the bigger name, and made more money for Mayweather.

                      Yet, when Manny does the same exact thing and bypasses the younger, unknown contender who truly fought no names(Berto),

                      Manny gets flack for choosing the bigger name and money fight in Shane.


                      How come Floyd made the right choice in choosing money, but Manny didn't?
