    The Mosley pre Forrest was a beast with a great combo of speed and power plus a great chin that version would be a dangerous proposition for the more skilled Crawford. I think if it goes to the cards Bud would win if it ends by KO it's Mosley.

    The version after Forrest gets washed by Bud.

    Mosley while he was on the cream and the clear PED's was a monster. Crawford gets hit and Shane swam without getting wet.

    If things had fallen different Mosley could have been a modern Sam Langford. Mosley always felt like he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But things didn't fall different. Crawfords weight classes are that aformentioned wrong place.

    Mosley could have either bullied LWs or been a P4P guy at the bigger weights. But at Crawfords weight classes he doesn't have the speed, power or size to beat the sort of ATGs that populate those divisions in the 21st century. And of those ATGs Crawford is one of the best. Others are mentioning Mosleys power but Mosleys power never flipped a fight.

    Still maybe Mosley could beat Crawford at 168. 140/147/154? Don't see it as likely.

    How would Mosley win at 168 he's never fought there and would be overweight

    According to BMI he'd be on the lower border of being overweight. Which is no big deal for a boxer really.

    Mosley would have more power at 168. Hes not outfighting Crawford either way but maybe at 168 he could get him.

    Mosley never fighting there doesn't mean its not a better weight for him.

    Prime Mosley was a fantastic fighter, he was certainly capable of beating Crawford. Mosley was never unbeatable though so Crawford would have a very real chance if winning himself. 50/50 in my opinion.

    Mosley loses. He's good at beating come forward fighters. Anytime he faced more nuanced fighters he lost except vs De La Hoya, who he barely beat.

    Crawford fought in an era where Thurman, Porter, Spence were top dogs.

    Mosley fought in an era where De La Hoya, Winky, Forrest, Quartey were top dogs.

    Huge difference

    First of all, No, second of all Bud fought the worst version on Canelo, so your opinion is void.
