    Who was the best lightweight that Mosley beat, besides Philip Holiday (Holiday beat Jeff Fenech, when Jeff was 32 years old)?

    You don't think Mosley could beat those guys?

    Beating Buchanan and DeJesus would be a mile over anyone he did beat at that weight ,,,so no he'd lose to one of them at least

    Duran said Buchanan was the best overall fighter he ever faced, and had the best jab.

    Mosely fought a lot like DeJesus.

    That is interesting considering all the great fighters he faced.

    At the very least he'd be a great test for any of them.

    Yes, the asked about different categories and Buchanan was top in most catergories, but Leonard had the fastest hands and Dejesus was the hardest puncher, though I feel Hearns punched harder. [url]https://www.ringtv.com/462377-best-faced-roberto-duran/[/url]

    Too bad Shane never got his super fight at 135 lbs. He was way superior to the competition he faced at LW at the time. Shane defeats Duran opponents undedefeated.

    I think Shane certainly could. He would have his hands full with DeJesus though. Even a Ray Lampkin in the form that he fought Duran would be a good test. Duran almost killed him and essentially ended his career. Lampkin fought an amazing fight. But yet would move and go the distance. Mosely should best him. I dont think Buchanon is quick enough to beat Shane.

    There`s been very few fighters at any weight that were better than Duran but Ken made a pretty good fist of it.

    I think Ken beats Shane. Shane simply has no plan B or C or D. When his usual style isn't going as planned he has no back up. If a foe has good movement he struggles to do enough to win and becomes tentative and looking for big KO blows. Ken would be moving all around the ring popping Shane with jab after jab. I think he takes a UD from Shane.
