    As we all know Sugar Shane was basically unstoppable at lightweight, but Broner was a beast also. Who do you think would win this fantasy warfare?

    Mosley takes him out by 6-9. Unlikely to lose more than 2 rounds

    Mosley at 135 would be hell for PBF at 135, forget Broner.

    Broner is durable, the Maidana fight proved that.

    But Sugar at 35 was a complete destroyer.

    The Reach, Speed, Power would prove to be too overwhelming for AB.

    Sugar KO

    Broner would have nightmares of a green eyed monster. Like when Frodo puts on the ring and he shits his pants when he sees the eye of Sauron. Mosley completely humbles Broner.

    Floyd would destroy Mosley easily. Castillo was a beast and look what Floyd did to him.

    Mosley was explosive at 135 and in his earlier days of 147. He'd probably have been Floyd's toughest fight of his career had they fought at 135.

    :facepalm: Seriously? The real winner would be my desire to see Broner humiliated.

    GTFO, at 135 you could argue SSM is top-ten all time h2h.

    Broner might not crack top 100.

    This. Broner is decent but not in the class of a prime SSM.

    I remember in 1998, Mosley fought around 5 or 6 times that year en route to winning the BWAA fighter of the year.

    He was some kind of fighter at 135 lbs. Power in both hands (he had a ridiculous KO percentage at LW,) fantastic handspeed, he was the real deal.

    Broner doesn't throw enough punches in general so i don't know how he'd keep someone like Mosley off of him. I'd imagine Shane catches him inside 6 or 7 rounds. Mosley is a HOF fighter that did some great things north of 135, but at LW he was definitely at his best and a H2H nightmare with anyone in that division.
