    We saw what happened when Mosley was on the way out. How different is this with both at their best at 147?

    A pick based off all of Mosley's stoppages against elite opposition.

    You seem to have a problem with Mosley and a hard-on for Pac, but I'm hardly impressed by a prime Pacquiao going 12 uninspired rounds with a totally shot Mosley.

    Moreover, you're contradicting yourself, because it was only yesterday that you admitted that Mosley would have stopped Marquez. But when it comes to Pac, the fanboy hat ALWAYS goes on, and you act like it's an impossibly.

    2000 Mosley would have been too strong and fast for lil ass Pac.

    2009 Pacquiao is extremely overrated.

    I'd pick Pacquiao over Mosley too, although it would obviously be a much tougher assignment than their actual fight. Can't really read too much into that one going 12 rounds either, Mosley is a tough guy and went into survival mode really quickly once he tasted the canvas.

    Marquez is more a stylistic mismatch against Mosley. He doesn't have the power, speed or physical talent to overcome the size disadvantage against Mosley where as Pacquiao does. Again though, it is a much tougher fight than their actual encounter.

    I pick Pacquiao too. Mosley would be touching gloves by the fifth.

    Pre-Forrest Mosley wasn’t so easily discouraged. He thrived on guys who came forward and fought fire with fire because that’s where his speed was most effective.

    I think it’s competitive but I see Mosley winning a decision. His speed and physical strength will be a problem for Manny.
