    Mosley defeated Wilfredo Rivera, Oscar de la Hoya, Shannan Taylor, Antonio Diaz, David Estrada, Luis Collazo and Antonio Margarito. He was defeated by Vernon Forrest and Miguel Cotto. Was still competitive at age 37.

    Trinidad defeated Maurice Bloker, Luis Gabriel Garcia, old Hector Camacho, Yori Boy Campas, shot Pernell Whitaker, Hugo Pineda and barely beat Oscar de la Hoya. He was IBF champion during 4 years and is undefeated in that weight class.

    Who has a better career at 147?

    Trinidad probably but not by much.

    Also, you must consider that Mosley really is a blown up lightweight for most of his career. If he wasn't such a phenomenal athlete, he would have absolutely no business fighting at that weight.

    He really is the Holyfield of 147. :lol: Seeing him in the ring with Margarito, even without knowing his age (and the fact that he was a 4/1 dog coming in), it was a surreal visual based on size alone. He straight muscled a guy with two inches on him, who really has the frame of at least a light middleweight. Actually he did the same thing twice against Vargas. :yep

    Some of those weren't even against Top10 contenders. Tito has quantity, but Mosley -with wins over DLH and Margo- has the quality.

    Tito.

    The bias in your OP is blatant.

    Shane for me.

    Also ranks higher as an ATG.
