Mosley. Pacquiao's reign at welterweight is a farce. Floyd Mayweather's too. Mosley would reign if he competed in the cesspool of an era that Floyd and Pac competed in. With regards to the fight itself, Mosley is too big, too strong, and super fast his own damn self. He'd stop Pac within 8 rounds.
Puerto Rock speaks the truth regarding the shittiest welter-middle era since dudes called "Mysterious Billy Smith" were fighting
He was good and was in some excellent fights, but I think Mosley is one of the more overrated fighters of the past 20 years. He was the naturally bigger guy which levels it up a bit but I might still lean towards Pacquiao
A Facebook Fude has broken out on the basis of what is posted here. Personally, I am not sure who wins. I am not sure about Shanes claims about his only being on the Power-Boxing juice at 154. Pac, as we all know, is suspect as fuck. Thank you to everyone who noted that the Welterweight Division since Oscar lost to Tito has been largely pish, a magic roundabout of title swapping and a festival of cheating.
Obviously it would have been closer than the fight that actually happened but i'll still take Manny. He's simply the better fighter.
Definitely possible he was on some other gear before 154, but I'm pretty sure his BALCO timeline is known.
as i recall, after Mosley laid an epic beatdown on Margarito, Roach claimed the guy was too big and too dangerous for Pacquiao and had no interest in the fight
Shane beating Margarito has a double edge, even a triple edge to it. Margarito had lost his power, he knew he had lost his power and Shane knew he had lost his power, and Margarito knew Shane knew. That all fed into what happened next. If Margarito had never loaded his gloves, that fight could have gone a lot lot differently. Half of it is not the gloves being loaded, it was Shane knowing they had been loaded, knowing they had been emptied, and both men acting accordingly. Turns on its own facts, that one.
.. until Mayweather Jr beat him wide & then he had an unwatchable draw with a guy who fought on The Contender. Then it became an acceptable fight for Pac.
