Should Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight Sugar Shane Mosley before Pacquiao?

I watched the Mayweather vs. Marquez fight and Sugar Shane Mosley totally called out Mayweather at the end of the fight, which was interesting to see. From doing a little research it looks like Mayweather has been avoiding Mosley for years and people say its because he knows he can't take Mosley. Pacquiao fights anyone you put in front of him without flinching! But Mayweather seems to be very political in choosing his fights and obviously conducted an unsportsmanlike manor as to come into the Marquez fight well over the negotiated weight (which can give a boxer a HUGE advantage). So to get to the point, I feel that Mayweather Jr. Should do one more fight against Sugar Shane Mosley before he fights Pacquiao? But what do you think?

    A loss to Mosley would release all of the air out of the Mayweather vs Pacquiao balloon. If Mayweather never wanted to risk it before, there is no way that he would do it now.

    If I am going to see Mayweather lose, I would prefer it to be versus Pacquiao.

    No. Because Mosley has a fight in January, which means the earliest he could fight Mayweather is March 2010.

    That would push a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight into Fall 2010 (mega fights are not fought in the summer due to vacation, travel, concerts, world cup, too many other competing events).

    Also, Pacquiao is running for political office in Spring of 2010. So this fight needs to happen ASAP otherwise it will be pushed into late 2010 or even 2011.

    Pacquiao is eyeing at March 2010 fight or May at the very latest.

    Well if he's in it for the "Money" he should strike while the irons hot on the Pacquiao fight.
