ATG: Who Ranks Higher? Erik Morales or Sugar Shane Mosley

Erik Morales for me.

Top Tier: Manny Pacquiao, Marco Antonio Barrera
Second Tier: Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, In Jin Chi
Third Tier: Wayne McCullough, Junior Jones, Daniel Zaragoza, Paulie Ayala

One of the best resumes of the last 15 years.

 

Morales. One tough mofo.

 

I don't think Shane Mosley is an ATG. I'm not even sure about Morales - maybe he just gets in for the victory against a prime, legit ATG like Pac.

 

Do you think Joel Casamayor is?

 

No.

 

:good

 

I'd be curious what your criteria for ATG are.

 

Mosley is probably not an ATG in any of the three weight classes that he competed in but he is an ATG great overall as a fighter. Hopefully what I typed made sense.

 

It makes fine sense to me...but I wanted Cepillo's criteria, brother.

 

I wouldn't really know how to go about answering that question myself, Boxed Ears.

Shane Mosley scores relatively highly in all the key area's though; resume, ability, accomplishments and longevity. He is an ATG.

 

My bad, next time I'll mind my own business.

 

Did I come across snarky there? I didnt' mean to be, really.

 

Me too. I do get, I think, what Benny was trying to say, in the sense that at none of the weights he was a champion in would he rank as an ATG specifically, as in on a short list of the best. I mean, he wasn't all that impressive in the LMW division to me and as good a lightweight and welterweight as he has been, those are so rich historically...Anyway, I look at him highly. I had a list that's been lost on a bad computer that I believe I had Mosley about 70 all time.

 

So will Rustico Torrecampo.
