    be cool to see him back there after all these years. not many people expected him to be de la hoya when he did yearrrssss ago, not many people expected him to school collazo or knock out fernando vargas. after 12 rounds not many people expected him to knock out mayorga and margarito was a 4-1 bettering favorite against Sugar Shane. All this after losses to Vernon Forrest TWICE and Winky Wright TWICE, two of the best fighters in a higher weight division that Mosley challenged, becasue he challenges the best.

    Mosley has a very good chance against Mayweather. I think he wins by unanioms decision with huge knock downs along the way.

    Yes, I remember... I also remember that at the time both Shane and Trinidad were considered p4p #1 and p4p #1-A at the time. It depended on who you asked. Some thought Shane was best after his defeat of Oscar, while others thought Tito was the best who was knocking guys out left and right... and then both lost and Roy Jones assumed the mantle once again.

    Ahhh, I remember fondly. It was for one weekend while Roy was working on a rap career.

    some considered shane to be one of the best lightweights of all time after his thorough domination of the weight.

    People who do not fully appreciate the difference between a fighter like Margacheato and fighter like Mayweather are the same type of people that keep the action on with the sports books when a mismatch like this gets put together. Margo was a very limited fighter at his peak. Shane can punch and Margo blocks punches with his face. That upset was an easier call than this one.

    Didn't Roy say that? I'm pretty sure it was something to that effect or at least the best since Duran
