    Just read the article on ESB about Shane taking Duran's route and should go to middleweight (personally i dont think he should) but i was thinking maybe Mosley could take this and do a Hopkins.

    What do you guys think?

    Duran had an almost unparalleled skill level that enabled him to move through the weight divisions very effectively. Mosley (while also being skilled) is more of a physical specimen...and the higher he goes in weight the more he loses those natural athletic advantages that he holds.

    Personally I never felt Mosley looked particularly great at 154 so I see this being a step too far for him. But I'd be cheering him all the way!!!

    With all the physical advantages of Pavlik over Mosley, plus the fact that Mosley is now 37 yrs old . . . Pavlik by stoppage or decission.

    Pavlik wins this, Mosley is a speedster but not the type to hit and run, this will be his down fall.

    Pavlik KO in 6.

    Mosley's bravery could even be his downfall here...he can't trade with Kelly!!

    If Mosley can turn back the clock at a catchweight than I pick my man, the Sugar Man.

    i have always been a ssm fan, but pav is too big and too strong. pav may not be as crafty at 160 as forrest was at 154 but since pav is so strong it wont matter.

    **** me its a shame we even need to theorize about this b/c ssm should be able to find a decent fight at 147 w/ all the talent but what should be and what is arent always one in the same in boxing i suppose
