147 Pounds unification tournament - who is the man?

[smashup]

My 2 Cents for what it is worth..

Cotto v Mosely--I pick Cotto by SD

Cotto v Mayweather- I go with Floyd by UD, he stays away from Cotto to get banged up

Mayweather v Mosely- If they fought tommorow I pick Shane

Cotto v Pac- Pac unless he gets caught early

Pac v Mayweather- Pac Floyd has yet to meet a man at that pace

Pac v Mosely- Mosley

Just thought i'd point out Jesus Chavez threw over 100 punches, in almost every round against Floyd Mayweather and it didn't do much to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Yes i know Manny Pacquiao is obviously better than Jesus Chavez, but i was just saying Floyd Mayweather Jr can deal with that kind of pace, and plus Jesus Chavez was a very good fighter he won plenty of rounds off a prime Erik Morales with one arm.

Well you answered a lot there, Yes that is true about Chavez but Floyd has slowed a bit he too gets older, Chavez threw a different typ of shot , Manny throws bad intention punches, there are almost non lulls in his attack, he keeps spinning, spinning, spinning making it even hard to counter more then one shot at a time, he pops in and out, and again the fast pace is brutal....

Floyd has not been in a fast paced fight since Judah and that steamed out by round 5,,,it also was no whhere the pace Manny puts out...

Manny will not allow Floyd to just lay on the ropes and counter....Floyd is not an overly hard puncher though he does get guys out of there....

You have valid points but I stick with my picks

Agree Dax, Pacs speed could well be the deciding factor when they meet.

Infact i think it probably gives him the edge

That speed IMO is what hurts so many of Mannys opponents...

Don't get me wrong though I am in no way trying to pull one of those

"NO WAY HE BEATS PACQUIAO!!"

Statements because Floyd is so talented, I just think Manny has the edge but at that level you never know....

And I know many won't agree with this next statement but the combination of Pacquiao and Roach up the odds in Manny's favor....Roach studies the hell out of guys and Manny follows Roach to the T...If makes a huge difference

I never really consider Pacman to be a 147 pounder, and that thing about ODLH being weight drained in their fight, it was him that called out Manny from 135 lbs to jump 2 weight classes and meet him. So enough with all that hoopla that it's not a fair fight for De La Hoya, but I guess a fight at 154 lbs between both of them would be a fair fight right?

I say Sugar Shane takes all, and a Sugar Shane that is in his physical prime is one of the best I've seen at 147.

As a natural welter, the best is Mosely!!! For somebody with a bully mentality Williams. That's why even the so called Best pound 4 pound Mayweather ignores these two
