At the top end of things i think Mosleys age would be a deciding factor against athletes like Pac and Floyd who have energy to burn and Cotto i think would be found out by Pac and Floyd too and left wanting (badly) in the skill department.
I say a Prime Mosley would be a pick em against any of those fighters;)

Thanks... That's just being real...;D
At 147, I think the version of Mosley that defeated Margacheato is just too big and too much for PAC to handle...
But at 142, I pick PAC to defeat Mosley...;)

I think that Pac v Floyd is too close to call really

Not really it isn't IMO i don't see why so many people are now thinking Manny Pacquiao, is a possible Floyd Mayweather Jr beater. Because he beat Ricky Hatton.
He is still the same Manny Pacquiao who had fits against JMM, in there 2nd fight a fight i think he lost. And Floyd Mayweather Jr is a better counter puncher than JMM, he is also faster with a better defense and he is also the bigger man.
Its funny almost no one on this forum thought Manny Pacquiao could even come close to beating Floyd Mayweather Jr last year, now most people think he has a legit chance its funny old game the boxing world.
As for people picking Shane Mosley over Floyd Mayweather Jr, i don't really get why Shane Mosley has always struggled against pure boxers. With a good jab and i haven't been impressed with him for along time.
Yes he beat Antonio Margarito but come on, how good was Antonio Margarito really without the loaded gloves ? i'd say he used it in the Miguel Cotto fight one of the Kermit Cintron fights, and for certain in the Sebastian Lujan fight.
Would he have got anywhere close to a title with his limited skills without cheating ? thats debatable other than that. Shane Mosley didn't look impressive against Ricardo Mayorga. Or against Miguel Cotto even though it was close, Shane Mosley didn't perform that well.
And his win over Luis Collazo has question marks over it, because Shane Mosley was losing until Luis Collazo broke his hand. So im wondering would Shane Mosley have won that easily without that incident ? i don't think so. And his fights against Fernando Vargas wern't that impressive by any means either.
Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams are the only fighters i think can beat Floyd Mayweather Jr, but now Paul Williams is doing his thing at the higher weightclasses. It looks like Miguel Cotto is the only one with a legit chance IMO.
