Comparing Pacquiao-Mosley to Mayweather-Mosley

[Mar]

Not shittin on you taeth, pac is the man and there's nothing wrong with supporting your boy ! But comparing floyd fighting shane vs pac beating him to me is like comparing what gamboa did to rodgers mtagwa against what juan ma did against the guy. Hbo spent all night comparing the two as some sort of measuring stick. Two different fighters, two different styles, whole different ballpark all together. And this weekend was no different. We all generally remember the last thing we saw. When floyd beat marquez the roar was oh shit marquez gave pac trouble and floyd blew him away so........same with guys like martinez, donaire, christ even some now think ortiz could beat floyd. Not saying any of those guys are good or bad just pointing out how quickly one win or loss reguardless of a career can change fans minds . I know most hate it but i still think floyd would have no problem with pac. Would he beat pac's ass ? Hell no, but he'd win an easy decision and as usual we'll move on and drum up reasons why boxer X can now beat him. But watchin shane avoid pac all night didn't really show me anything new about pac we didn't already know. If anything shane kinda screwed pacs chances to really shine this weekend.

I'm the biggest Mayweather fan on here. Ask anyone on the site. For me to say that Mayweather would have a lot of problems with Manny is saying something. I don't compare how guys look against similar opponents except in the things they do individual. How sharp are they, how quick they are, etc ,etc. Mayweather has always been sharper than Pacquiao, and his style necessitates that, but Pacquiao was way sharper than he has ever looked, far more responsible in every way. Mayweather is sharper, but Pacquiao is getting increasingly more sharp himself, and he is faster with way more power than Mayweather. Pacquiao showed me for the first time that he truly is a complete package. Sure he will always have more flaws than Floyd, but those flaws are getting smaller, while his physical advantages remain. And when push comes to shove judges seem to favor quantity over quality. I am not saying I can't see Floyd winning even against this version of Pacquiao, but it's just much harder than before when Manny fought Margarito or Clottey where he wasn't this good.
