Alright, I've repped everyone in this thread that has said something productive so far. Whether agreeing or disagreeing. Thanks everyone for your input so far.
Now, I'd especially like to thank miron_lang and generalbulldog, who informed me about Sasakul and who he was and his ranking.
Baring the information they both gave me I weighed in Pacquiao's accomplishment against Mayweathers. Credit's given and edited information is outlined on the first post. Thanks you two. If i could rep you twice I would.

Don't know why Majesty is getting such abuse on this thread all he did was try and express his opinions.
For me I think I can't decide, because they need to fight each other for it to be finally settled.
Manny is the form guy, the exciting, crowd pleaser but Floyd has never lost a fight.
I do think a win over Shane would be a bigger win than anything Manny has so far done so maybe Floyd will have the best bragging rights then, but even then Mosely has lost several fights in his career and so isn't unbeatable.
Ultimately it won't be settled until they fight. Manny's wins over Cotto and Clottey show that size shouldn't be a factor at least, this fight will come down to skill. 2010 has so far been a shit one for boxing with hardly any decent fights in months, hopefully it can end with the big one though.
Bilbo baggins of the Shire
Shane Mosley lost to a fighter named Miguel Cotto whom Pacquio TKO'd. Shane is still a very good fighter but is also 38 yrs old and hasnt fought in over a year.
Marco Antonio Barrera was also a TOP p4p fighter in 2003 with a streak of wins over highly regarded fighters as Erik Morales, Nazeem Hamed, Johny Tapia, Enrique Sanchez and Kevin Kelley. After the loss to Pacquiao Barrera rebounded by beating JuarezX2, Robbie Peden, Erik Morales en route to his 3rd Division title.
IMO Barrera and Cotto are bigger wins than this upcoming version of Shane Mosley who showed some signs of declining againts Vargas and mayorga.
My opinion is based on how they fought ODLH.
“If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.” Muhammad Ali.
I think their resumes were pretty much even however tiny Manny has established himself as a fairly dominant Welterweight (which is shocking as ICB stated in his excellent thread).
Let's see how Floyd handles Mosley... Before that fight, I can't really make a full conclusive decision.
