Why does ODLH have the reputation that Shane Mosley deserves?

On here people frequently say "Oscar lost his biggest fights".



On paper,

Oscar won the following 'big fights' - Whitaker, Vargas, Quartey, Chavez 1 (one could argue that Genaro Hernandez was a big fight as well perhaps)

Oscar lost the following 'big fights' - Trinidad, Mosley(2), Hopkins, Mayweather, Pacquiao


(you'd have to excuse him for the latter three losses though surely, as Hopkins was so much bigger, and ODLH was years past his best by the time he went in with Mayweather & Pacquiao)


So, the big fight record is not bad at all on paper.

By my cards, Oscar won the Tito fight and the second Mosley fight, and lost the Whitaker & Quartey fights, so he still didn't "lose his biggest fights" either way.

IMO, Shane Mosley's big fight record is clearly worse.


Wins - Oscar 1 (legit), Oscar 2 (clearly lost the fight), Margarito (presume legit, but Margo surely can't have been at his best after getting caught with the wraps)

Losses - Forrest(2), Winky(2), Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo


(you'd have to excuse the losses to Mayweather, Pacquiao and Canelo, as SSM was done by then)




By my card Mosley lost the 2nd Oscar fight big, and all of his losses were fairly clear (unlike ODLH), so that leaves Shane's big fight record as 2 (Oscar 1, Marg) wins and 6 losses (Forrest x2, Wink x2, ODLH II, Cotto).





IMO, Mosley is more deserving of the 'big fight loser' rep than Oscar is. :bbb

 

I CLEARLY already said that in the opening post. Wouldn't hold the Pac or Mayweather fights against either of them.

 

Yeah coz Shane didn't enjoy huge weight and size advantages over the mediocrities and oldsters he was beating up at lightweight.

 

:huh His big fight form was worse than ODLH's. Explain how that is wrong dumdum.
