    Have been watching loads of Old Mosley fights recently and he certainly gets my vote.

    He might make the top-25.

    Shane a clear number one all-time. Kovalev also the GOAT at 175. Never seen a 160 pounder to compete with Golovkin either. Carl Frampton beats the snot out of Wilfredo Gomez too...

    Obviously not. Please move this silly thread to the General Forum.

    This is no knock on Mosley. He was an excellent fighter. Maybe even squeaks into the top 25 Lightweights of all time.

    Took the words right out of my mouth. Those are my top two anyways.

    I can see him as a top 15-20 all time. Maybe in h2h could you put him top 10. Certainly not no. 1 though.

    ** Move to General Forum** I'm sure they'll agree with the TS there.

    Of course not, can be debated if he's even top ten.

    He was a terrific lightweight, and a better fighter down there than up north, but his stay wasnt long enough and his resume isnt deep enough.

    You'll be in the minority on that one.
