    I think Pacquiao is a much bigger threat. I still think Mayweather would beat him, but I think he possesses several attributes which make him more dangerous than Mosley. He's younger, more adaptable, more dynamic, faster (arguably), hits almost as hard, he's a southpaw (I've seen several knowledgeable posters demonstrate that Mayweather's defense is designed for fighting right-handers), he has better movement, and, despite Mosley's great win over Margarito, he's looked like the much more impressive fighter recently. Mosley has been susceptible to being outboxed as well. Cotto, Winky, and Forrest all did it by relying on their jab and those fights showed the difficulty that Mosley had making adjustments (though I think he did a fairly good job in the Cotto fight).

    That is why I feel Pacquaio is a bigger threat than Mosley or any of the others I mentioned. I still think Mayweather - Mosley is a great, compelling fight, I just expect Mayweather to win.
    I think someone should start a thread on that and have a poll as to who is the greatest threat to Mayweather's 0? Or was there such a thread already?
    I'm sure there have been various incarnations of that thread over time, but that's no reason why there shouldn't be another one if you want to make it.

    Nah, I promised myself that I won't start a thread until I reach a hundred post. I'm almost halfway there.

    Mayweather will blame his bad hands on the defeat.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    "I was sick/injured"

    "Shane's on steroids/HGH"

    "Shane's a dirty fighter"

    ....those seem about right

    Floyd will discredit USADA, and insist Shane used ultra ultra ultra ultra rare form of HGH developed by Marsians.

    Floyd will definitely say, "I'm still the # 1 All Time Great. That lost doesn't count."

    I could imagine him saying "Ray Robinson lost 19 times, I've only lost once".

    There won't be any excuses if Floyd loses. Everyone will just use the opportunity to say that Floyd was overrated, didn't fight anyone, no Ray Robinson, etc.

    The excuses will be if Shane loses because no one who hates Floyd wants to believe that he'll beat anyone unless they are at some sort of disadvantage. Shane however if he beats Floyd there will be no excuses, just every hater coming out of the woodwork to bash Mayweather and post pictures of him losing.

    NO. He will say that it's because they did forbid him to have TM as consultant and that they did let him to leak some "privilege" information that Roach utilized into his game plan.

    That, my friends, is one of the truth.

    Interesting thread here. I for one think the possibilities are endless. Floyd has managed to wrap his whole identity up in being undefeated. Floyd thinks that if someone has lost 4 times then he is 4 times better than them. I agree that he will still somehow rationalize that he is the G.O.A.T...His excuse will be something like "Well my Uncle Roger was in Jail"...or is it his dad that's in jail...or going to jail...not sure which.

    If Floyd looses he will say:

    "I hope all fans around the world enjoyed this fight. I came to give my best as usual but Shane Mosley proved tonight he is the best. I admire his skills and how he showed everybody that age is just a number. My best wishes for Shane."

    ...ok, you can all throw tomatoes at me .

    I'm about to throw a piano at you but it's too heavy for me to lift ...... so, take this cotton ball instead.

    If Floyd lost via Split Decision -- "I was robbed, Oscar and GBP had me setup from the start"

    If Floyd lost via unanimous Decision -- "The judges hated me that they want to put an "0" on my record, how can I win if they hate me like that?"

    If Floyd lost via TKO -- "Mosley is fucking lucky, he must be taking that pill that makes him lucky. Uncle Roger and Pop told me about that pill and they suspect Mosley is taking them. I deserve a rematch and its on the contract, we have to do it again."
