May Vs. Mosley would probably be the best fight in boxing, even if Pac gets by Cotto, he really doesn't stand a chance against Mayweather.
Shane is big, fast, strong, with an iron chin at WW. It would be one hell of a fight.
When Mayweather wins people will just say that Shane was old and Margarito was overrated and that Mayorga showed how past it Shane was.

If PAC TKOs Cotto impressively, Pac vs MAyweather should push through. Mosley should wait if this happens.

With what is left at welterweight Mosley is PBF's toughest challenge. I think Cotto may be considered better at welterweight but Mosley would be a better fight. I hope Cotto does win because that would Mosley's only real chance at PBF in the near future. If Pac wins there is no doubt that PBF/Pac is boxing's biggest money fight and money rules boxing so Mosley best be a sparring partner, running mate, trainer, etc. for Cotto. Because Pac has to lose for Mosley to have a chance at fighting PBF next. Cotto would probably have a slight better chance if he won but I think the bad blood would sell better and finally push Mosley in that spot.

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.

And thats exactly the excuses they'd get if Mayweather beat them. And then people would say how he should fight Paul Williams to prove he is the true best.
Mayweather could beat Cotto, Mosley and Berto and any and every excuse would come up as to why Floyd beat them besides Floyd being better them them and getting his due.

As I said maybe he should retire since he feels that way, there's no one worth fighting. If he beat Mosely no one would say anything...depending on how Cotto looks against manny, no one will complain about that one.
One thing for sure is this: He hasn't fought any of them so he can't say what the excuse will be. He got total credit for his wins At 130-135 because he was fighting guys his own size. At 147 he beat judah and baldomir, the two easiest of the possible fighters at 147.

mosley - pacman is the best fight ..
Exactly. Some people just refuse to call it down the middle when it comes to Mayweather.
But you know what, I truly hope these guys in this thread who want to see this fight or the Pacquiao fight will give him his just due when he wins. I know they won't, but i'm hoping they would be fair for once.
I think Mayweather will gun for Pacquiao next. He'll get his win discredited by haters who say he's too big, but he'd also get discredited against Mosley when they say Mosley was old. At least against Pacquiao, he'd make alot more money.
