    I think Pacquiao is a much bigger threat. I still think Mayweather would beat him, but I think he possesses several attributes which make him more dangerous than Mosley. He's younger, more adaptable, more dynamic, faster (arguably), hits almost as hard, he's a southpaw (I've seen several knowledgeable posters demonstrate that Mayweather's defense is designed for fighting right-handers), he has better movement, and, despite Mosley's great win over Margarito, he's looked like the much more impressive fighter recently. Mosley has been susceptible to being outboxed as well. Cotto, Winky, and Forrest all did it by relying on their jab and those fights showed the difficulty that Mosley had making adjustments (though I think he did a fairly good job in the Cotto fight).

    That is why I feel Pacquaio is a bigger threat than Mosley or any of the others I mentioned. I still think Mayweather - Mosley is a great, compelling fight, I just expect Mayweather to win.
    I think someone should start a thread on that and have a poll as to who is the greatest threat to Mayweather's 0? Or was there such a thread already?
    I'm sure there have been various incarnations of that thread over time, but that's no reason why there shouldn't be another one if you want to make it.

    Nah, I promised myself that I won't start a thread until I reach a hundred post. I'm almost halfway there.

    Mayweather will blame his bad hands on the defeat.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
