    Mosley's resume at lightweight is decidedly underwhelming ,imo.

    Alexis Arguello should get a slight mention here, definitely for the h2h matchups. AT 135 his resume was short but decent. Mancini, Jim Watt, Jose Luis Ramirez, Boza Edwards, Bubba Busceme and Ganigan all inside of 3 years.

    Fair statement on your part, but consider this...Napoles was avoided at the weight. hence the move up to the welterweight. And in the scant footage of Napoles (against Urbina) at the weight...he looks like a force at H2H...Legacy wise? No. H2H? Definitely...Imo.
