Alright guys uncle bob here
The Mosely Manny fought was at the peak of his physical power and mental belief. In the lead up to the nearly beat a fighter I many years ago called the best ever winning one round and could easily have won another 11 if the rounds were they 2 mins and 59 secs shorter
Then you have his draw with one of the most avoided fighters in modern day boxing. There is a reason that both Floyd and Manny have never called this man out publically with his strength skill and speed he is very similar to a smaller version of Ali. And if he did not keep hitting Shane in the face Shane would have tamed the animal with ease
So when you consider all this is it such an outrageous claim. The Manny Shane faced was in the form of his life as I have highlighted and was nearer to his boxing prime which we all know in boxing in closer to 40 then 30 then the Shane coming off a morale depleting win vs Tony that faced Floyd
Thoughts
Was The Mosely Who Faced Manny Top 5 ATG???

Don't need to D4, you've been proven wrong, on the old 606, 606v2 and here too many times.
Your a fanboy at best and a troll/WUM at worst (I suspect it's the latter.)
You refuse to listen to any reason regarding Manny and it's therefore pointless to debate him (or Mayweather) with you.
If Manny fought Mosely tomorrow you'd make up some excuse as to how he's as brilliant now as he was at his peak etc etc. It's boring and does boxing an injustice. I just hope you realise that boxing is in the state it's in (mismatches etc) because fans like you peddle that crap is okay and other people buy into it.

Your ignorance is bewildering

That's your opinion, I disagree and have made my points above as to why I think your the worst kind of fan.
If your not sure if your a fanboy, see if you can sit and write an article criticizing Manny, I'm not on about ripping him apart or disputing the fact that he is a fantastic boxer. Just some things he could have done better. (Like no catchweights for titles etc.)
I'd ask the same of the Mayweather fans too. It could make some good reading actually.

I'm sure if I didn't take all Manny's earning's he would love to come over and thank you for your continued support D4

FYI the topic of this thread is not about what kind of fan D4 is, it is about the condition of Mosley when he faced Pacquiao.
I have always stated Mosley was past his prime, but due to the circumstances which I have stated, he was in a better condition than when he faced Mayweather a year earlier.
You have not offered anything to the contrary, even though you claim I am wrong.

It's a ballache when a thread gets hi-jacked, take note for next time you start to do it
No Mosley was not a top 5 ATG at the time, Mayweather and Manny shouldn't have fought him (although he deserved the pay day.) To try and justify it for either boxer is a bit daft. But then again the hoopla over them 2 facing each other has cast a shadow over whichever opponent they face.

Hey Bob, if you and Floyd don't like each other why are the two of you are so cozy in this picture?

Mosley was injured his whole training camp against manny! The Mosley that manny faced was like RJJ now! He also ducked him when Mosley went to roaches gym and asked manny to fight him just after manny best oscar! His reply was NO WAY only if you come in at 142lbs! Manny pacqiuao been cherry picking since Eric morales 1
