    Good post. Shane was great to watch back then.

    That was a peak Mosley.

    If he'd gone to the Olympics and won gold the same year as DLH, then that LW run would of been given so much more light.

    You really believe that's the sole reason, BL? Sad.

    Shane was a wunderkind at 135. Had every tool, punched with power 'n a killer instinct. His combinations were graceful shades of Robinson.

    at 135 I doubt he took peds, but as he moved up in weight (147) and saw power didn't come close to what he had at 135 I think is when he started taking peds.

    They never pushed for an investigation into getting the decision reversed, and Mosley had lost his title when he admitted it so it was kind of a non-issue.

    He "looked" real good against mediocre opposition. In his best win at 135 against Holliday, he looked like crap.
