Pacquiao Should KO Mosley to Prove he is better than Mayweather

[Kev]

He will stop Mosley. Not because he's better than Mayweather though. He'll simply have a higher output than Mayweather did. If Mosley gasses after 3 rounds again, i don't even see him making the championship rounds.

What will it prove, if Mosley hit Pacman with a round 2 shot and Pacman don't recover? Will people say then that Mayweather is better then Pacman? I think not!

What if Mayweather beat Cotto into retirement? He's already a scared fighter. Will that make Mayweather better then Pacman? Nope.

What if Mayweather UD Clottey? Again, naw!

Pacman is going to keep running the table if Mayweather don't fight him for whatever reason. The mastermind in Arum is setting up his stable to make all the money in house. If Pacman defeat Mosley(IF), the set-up for a rematch between the winner of Cotto vs Margarito 2(Cotto), for the last quarter of the year is so obvious.

No Berto
No Martinez
No Bradley
No Alexander
No JMM
I would like to even see Pacman fight a young but green Ortiz
or Judah after he win the IBF title in March or April.

Bottom line, is Pacman better then Floyd, we will never know unless. . .
Is Pacman P4P #1? Hell yeah. And I'm a big Floyd fan and Pacman hater!!!

If Mosley knocks Manny out in two rounds of course everyone will say Floyd is better.

Just because Manny Pac stops Shane does not make him better fighter than Floyd. They have to fight one another to do that. Manny Pac can stop all of Floys opponents quicker it does not make any difference other than he is a more aggressive fighter.

Exactly. I can't believe anyone would be dumb enough to even believe that. It's like saying Hatton is better than Mayweather because he ko'd Castillo.

I think if Mosley knocks Manny out in ANY ROUND posters here (including me) will be saying (I won't be saying but I will be thinking) that Floyd is better. So, why would the reverse not be applicable? Shouldn't something that is applied to one also be applied to the other?

If Manny knocks Mosley out, it would appear that Manny is better. But I agree that this is subjective until Pacquiao and Mayweather fights each other. But then it should be up to Floyd to discredit that Manny appears better than him.

But why would he appear to be better than Mayweather? I suppose it could show that he has more power and is more aggressive than Mayweather, but that doesn't make him a better boxer.

Those would definitely make a boxer appear better that the other. The key word here is "appear' and is not a statement of fact. We would, probably, have to settle with who APPEARS to be better until they fight which would determine as to who IS better.

I expect Pacquiao to TKO Mosley in the later rounds, earlier if Shane gasses like he did against Mayweather. If Naazim was thinking about pulling Mosley out against Mayweather than it shouldn't be surprising if he does pull him out against Pacquiao, who will throw far more punches than Mayweather did. That won't make Pacquiao better than Mayweather, and its seriously flawed logic for anyone to use that as a reason for Pacquiao being the better fighter

Appear to who? If someone can conjure the thought that something would 'appear' to be one way, surely they can understand the fact that due to the different style of boxing each of them possess, outcomes of their fights with common opponents will be different.

If your talking about the general public/ casual fans then fair enough, but they aren't usually the ones debating poeples all time standings and things like that.

The statistic of having a knockout doesn't prove anything, which is what the thread title suggests.
