Mayweather

@135 Shane Mosley

@140 Kostya Tszyu

@147 Miguel Cotto

@147 Vernon Forrest

@147 Antonio Margarito

Pacquiao

@135 Juan Diaz

@135 Zahir Raheem

@147 Shane Mosley (before he lost to Mayweather & Mora)

@147 Antonio Margarito(before his war with Cotto, and being TKO'd by Mosley)

@147 Miguel Cotto( before being TKO'd by Margarito)

First off, about 95% of modern boxing fans have to be a fan of either Pacquiao, Mayweather or both of their abilities ,some are just reluctant to take sides as far as who they think would beat who because they don't want to be criticized by the opposing side and don't want to put their reputation on the line.

I would have like to have seen Mayweather fight Shane Mosley when he was undefeated fighting at 140 and i would have like to have seen Pacquiao fight an undefeated Naseem Hamed but of course i want to see Pacquiao fight Mayweather like everyone else.

Mayweather: Pacquiao at 147, Cotto at 147 (pre-Margarito), Martinez at 154, Willliams at 147, Margarito at 147

Pacquiao: Mayweather at 147, Cotto at 147, JMM at 140, Khan at 140, Valero at 140, Berto at 147

Earlier in their careers I think they did fight most of the opponents they should have, it wasn't til both became superstars that they basically dictated who they fought & at what weight. Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Leonard, etc all did the same thing, you hate to see it and it's bad for the sport but it happens. In the end fans lost out on them facing each other because both of their egos got too big since they were boxing's biggest draw at the same time and made too much money fighting basically anyone else.

Pacquiao:

1.) Oscar De la Hoya -- Oscar was weight drained, and I do mean drained, down to 145 lbs where he hadn't fought at in about 6 years. He looked (in physical appearance) awful that night, like an old man.

2.) Shane Mosley -- Shane gave Floyd the last four rounds he had left in the tank. Mora got a burned up Mosley, and Pacquiao got an even worse Mosley.

3.) Miguel Cotto -- Without the catchweight. Roach was quoted before the fight was made that "Cotto would have to come down to a catchweight. He's a strong guy." I believe if they fought at the welterweight limit, the fight would have been very different.

4.) Zab Judah -- Whether or not Judah's chin would hold would be questionable but his quick hands, counter ability, and respectable power would make this one a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

5.) Victor Ortiz -- According to Freddie Roach, these two have had some of "the best sparring sessions I've ever seen". Assuming this was not a catchweight fight, I think Ortiz's power could make for an interesting fight.

im also one of the 5% who dont support either Pacquaio or Mayweather jr...but ive been attacked by fans of both sides..some floyd fans have called me 'novice pactard' while some pac fans have called me a 'hidden flomo'....when the truth is ive praised and criticised both on numerous occasions

it can be said that pac has faced the tougher opponents for e.g his wars with the 3 mexican greats BUT floyd has looked more impressive in his wins.

Floyd's performances against Gatti and Corralles were nothing short of pure artistry!

One obvious answer takes care of both questions. EACH OTHER.
