PBF wouldn't stand anywhere close to still and let SSM bang him. He would do what he has done his whole career, study Mosely, come up with a solid plan of action and execute it to a tee. SSM doesn't have the footwork that could trap PBF or set up his shots like Margarito who was pretty much right there all night. I'd love to see it, but I don't think that match up could generate the $$$ PBF would demand.
Why couldn't Mayweather stand on the inside, The only person he wasn't able to fight with on the inside was Castillo, and Mayweather has adjusted his style since then and Castillo was a better inside fighter than Mosley, he was shorter, his punches are more suited for the inside.

I think when Mayweather fought Oscar it proved to me he could beat Mosley. IMO Oscar was always the better of the two, I think he beat Mosley in the second fight by almost doubling Mosley's punches landed.

I just watched Mosley-Collazo again, and I challenge anybody to find a round that if Collazo didn't land a couple to a handful more clean blows that he wouldn't won(except the knockdown round where he was caught off balance coming in). Every round was very competitive, Collazo broke his hand, and he only had 1 month to train for the fight, because he was a substitute for Cintron against Mosley.
