    how would pacquiao have fared against mosley?

    thoughts?

    note: we're talking about the mosley of last night, not the welterweight who beat de la hoya 10 years ago. last night's mosley may or may not have aged overnight (yall will have something to say about that too i'm sure)

    i think pac would have KOd him. i think mosley and cotto are about level in terms of skills, but i think mosley wouldn't have been able to run for long against pac. cotto had stamina, mosley seeming ran out halfway through the fight. part of it was because of floyd of course, but i just didn't see much energy from mosley tonight.

    doesn't mean pac would beat floyd (haven't made up my mind about that one yet), i'm just saying both floyd and pac would have dominated mosley last night, same way they both dominated hatton in their own different ways.

      He would have popped him repeatedly until he stopped him. Pacquiao moves too much for Mosley. In, out, left, right, front, back. Mosley with his looping punches is too much of a stationary target for a guy like Pacquiao. Mosley likes to measure range with his jab before letting his punches go but range is constantly changing when you're fighting someone like Pac. And his defense is not good enough to survive Pacquiao's offense.

      Also, it takes incredible timing to compete with Pacquiao and Mosley hadn't fought in 16 months. You can't step in with a guy like Pacquiao after a layoff like that?

            Pac would have moved so much more than Floyd did, and Mosley would have been just as nervous and wasted just as much energy fighting jittery. Pac stops him.

              Who knows? The person that knows Pacquiao's abilities the best said Mosley was "too good".

                Unlike no balls-weather, Pac would have gone for the knockout. That's the difference in a fighter and a boxer. Floyd is a boxer, nothing more.

                    Pac UD.

                    It would've been more back and forth, though. Mosley was making mistakes against Floyd that he wouldn't make against other fighter in the world.
