It doesn’t matter who wins between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley on May 1 as long as Manny Pacquiao keeps fighting, according to a world heavyweight champ.

James Toney, the reigning International Boxing Association (IBA) heavyweight titlist, said neither Mayweather nor Mosley would dare mess with the Filipino boxing star in his peak.

“They aren’t f--king with Pacquiao right now, man,” Toney told Percy Crawford of FightHype.com while referring to Mayweather and Mosley.

Mayweather and Mosley will be slugging it out on May 1 for the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title.

Toney, however, thinks the two pound-for-pound contenders are no better than World Boxing Organization (WBO) title holder Pacquiao.

“Pacquiao's on fire,” he said in the report posted on FightHype.com. “Mayweather gives angles but not the odd and awkward angles that Pacquiao gives. As far as work rate and activity, forget about it.”

Toney said Pacquiao’s edge over his opponents is the volume of punches he can throw in a fight.

“Combinations! That's something you see a lot of smaller guys getting away from, but Pacquiao throws a s*** load of combinations, punches in bunches, and from all angles,” he said.
