No they were not. Mosley was coming off a big win over Margarito when he fought Mayweather and was generally recognized on the pound for pound list. When he fought Pacquiao he was coming off a one sided loss to to Mayweather and a draw with Sergio Mora while no longer on the pound for pound list. How is that similar?yeah.... and you judging pac by his whole body of work?
they both fought delahoya, hatton, cotto, mosley, jmm.
floyd fought a superior delahoya. pac a superior 126/130 jmm.
hatton, mosley they both fought were similar.
cotto is debatable. cotto was 145 cw but pac was at 130-135 a year earlier. cotto at 154 is meh. evens out imo.Comment

Losses don't matter. Which of course negates every Manny winNo they were not. Mosley was coming off a big win over Margarito when he fought Mayweather and was considered generally recognized on the pound for pound list. When he fought Pacquiao he was coming off a one sided loss to to Mayweather and a draw with Sergio Mora while no longer on the pound for pound list. How is that similar?

i see it different.ok. his is a somewhat different question than what you asked.
Regarding resume, a tough loss still takes away from a resume and a dominant win over a lesser fighter either keeps you in the same place or slightly elevates you.
A loss, except an outright robbery like sweet pea/Ramirez or Bradley/many, is always negative on a fighter's resume IMO.
most losses hurt. some dont.
a loss (IF COMPETITIVE) is worth more than a win over a lesser fighter.
my example JMM4 vs. algieri
losing in a FOTY to an hofer like jmm is worth more than waxing a scrub like algieri.
30 yrs from now ppl will remember that great fight. even an L.
next year i'll forget pac even fought algieri.Comment

practically same mosley. old past prime.No they were not. Mosley was coming off a big win over Margarito when he fought Mayweather and was generally recognized on the pound for pound list. When he fought Pacquiao he was coming off a one sided loss to to Mayweather and a draw with Sergio Mora while no longer on the pound for pound list. How is that similar?
just coming from a W or a L doesn't mean much. if around the same time for a fighter.
pac coming from a loss to morales 2006 is same guy coming from a win ove barrera 2007.Comment
