With only a year separating the Mayweather/Mosley/Pacman fights what is the defining moment for you?
For me it is MAY 2010 Mosley scrapped for 10 rounds with Mayweather, knocking Mayweather down and never getting hurt by Mayweather, but outboxed. MAY 2011 Mosley gets hit by Pac, looks bewildered from the 3rd and elects to protect his chin for the last 7 rounds.....

Defining moments for who? Mosley? Mosley fought Floyd for just two rounds, hurting and wobbling him with a big right then presented himself as a human punching bag the rest of the way. Mosley fought Pacquiao for three rounds and after getting decked by a huge left, suddenly and uncharacteristically became a back pedalling, hugging and a gun-shy boxer who was more interested in merely ending up on his feet than anything else.
The difference is that one year ago, Mosley gamely took his lumps without retreating while in the recent Pacquiao fight, he went from ring post to ring trying to avoid Manny.
But one year ago, going to the Floyd fight, Mosley was a still confident and cocky fighter fresh from his demolition of Tony Margarito.
Heading to the Pacquiao fight, Mosley was nothing but an old fighter comprehensively beaten by Floyd and nearly whupped by a fringe contender named Sergio Mora who had nothing but name recall, still remaining commercial value, according to Arum, and a fast fading memory of a distant glorious past to carry him against the best fighter in the world. He knew very well that he hasn't got a prayer of a chance.
But personally, the defining moment was the realization that we all have been had.
