The best-case scenario for a clear p4p and welterweight champion (and for boxing) to emerge from this mess is if Mosley beats Mayweather and Pacquiao beats Clottey because there are no obstacles to a Mosley-Pacquiao fight and it is a mega event.

On another note, Mayweather-Mosley is a more significant fight than Pacquiao-Clottey. No doubt about it. It would be very surprising if Pacquiao-Clottey outsells Mayweather-Mosley.
not really lol Mosley already proposed the fight to Pacquiao and he tucked ass and ran from the fight, i wouldn't be shocked if he went ahead and retired after the Clottey fight
This make me laugh, I guess your right maybe Pac should retire after IF he cant deal with Floyd, but remember Cotto boxed and beat Mosley the Pacquiao beat Cotto this you mean that Pacquiao will duck Mosley?
No doubt Floyd and Pac should face each other. This what people wants, no Mosley/Margarito-Pac nor Floyd-whoever. This is really sad if aint gonna happen
What I meant is that a Floyd-Pac fight ain't happening. It would be great for boxing but it just ain't happening while a Pacquiao-Mosley fight would definitely happen. Mosley beating Floyd sets up a Mosley-Pacquiao show-down, which would clear up the p4p and welterweight questions.

As an aside, Doug Fischer in his blog at RingTV below said that Floyd negotiated for an immediate rematch with Shane should Shane win. Is there any truth to this?

"Hi Dougie,
Long time reader here. First off, let me say that I sincerely hope I am wrong and you are right about Shane beating Floyd. I'm a big Mosley fan and have been for years. That said, speed kills - and I think people will be surprised at how slow Floyd will make Shane look. My greatest wish is for Shane to grind him down and stop him, but it just ain't happening. When's the last time you saw anyone able to consistently get to Floyd's body? Do you think it's because nobody's thought of that or tried? As much crap as the guy gets (most of it deserved), Money's absolutely brilliant about not getting in positions where he can get touched up to the body - or head for that matter.

Interesting fight for 3-4 rounds until Floyd solves Shane and shuts him out with annoying but scoring counters en route to a wide UD. -- Scott

You are so wrong, Scott. I can’t believe how many fans and members of the media are sleeping on Sugar Shane. It’s sad. It really is.

Dude, Floyd didn’t want this fight. He was forced to take it because it’s the only fight (outside of the Pacquiao showdown) that would guarantee him $15-$20 million-plus and it’s the only bout that fans and the media (including his apologists) would accept in lieu of the Pac-Man fight. Mayweather’s side wanted an immediate rematch clause in the contract. What does that tell you about his confidence going into this bout? "
