If Mayweather wins does he take the number one spot away from Pacquiao?

Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley will likely be the biggest selling fight of the year and pits the second and third ranked welterweights against each other. What makes the fight intriguing is that Mayweather has yet to fight any of the current crop of top welterweights. With a win over Mosley some will rank Mayweather ahead of Manny Pacquiao. Obviously fans of either will claim that their fighter is the better and should be ranked accordingly. The question will be how you compare the recent wins of the pair, and especially those that happened at welterweight. Both have fought Hatton, both have fought De Le Hoya, so not much to choose from there.

Boxing World Is Disrespecting Mosley

Mayweather vs Mosley - Sugar Shane Mosley recently sent out a memo to the press about the basic disrespect he’s been shown by one and all in the boxing world.

He has a point.

Not to disparage the great Manny Pacquiao on his easy victory, he did take some shots. And not to denigrate the career and talent of Floyd Mayweather, he is undefeated. But how can anyone think Mayweather is a cinch to beat Mosley on May 1, in Las Vegas?

The one-sided thinking of promoters, trainers, television analysts, fans and even Pacquiao himself mouthing their wishes for a Mayweather fight is downright short-sighted. Does everyone truly think Money Mayweather is that much better than Mosley?
