Yet I still think Mayweather's wins over Hatton and Oscar De La HOya were significant, just like I thought Pacquiao were over Hatton and De La Hoya... its one thing to make excuses for why people win or lose fights, its another to always win fights regardless of who you are facing.
In all honesty looking back with 20/20 hindsight I think the Oscar that faced Mayweather is the most dangerous test he will face at least before age catches up. Oscar was very fast, way bigger, and threw a lot of punches, and Mayweather wasn't trying to move as much, and he still made Oscar look ordinary. I think what I saw with Mayweather-Marquez showed me if you put Mayweather in there with Pacquiao, I think Manny would land a few lefts, but ultimately Mayweather would pick him apart. Shane is the wild card, he looked so sharp and well timed against Collazo who is faster than Cotto and a good fighter, but then he started loading up on punches and almost disregarded defense against Cotto, I think Margarito was the first guy Mosley actually didn't try to outdo in what they do best. I think if he worked on his jab and started throwing combinations again which I can't see him not doing against a significantly smaller guy like Mayweather then he could be a real test for Floyd.
