    There is no way Mosley was pound for pound in 2010_at that age give it a rest. List the Ring magazines pound for pound in 2010 and Mosley isn't on any list.

    From Google:
    In early 2010, Sugar Shane Mosley was ranked as high as No. 3 in The Ring magazine's pound-for-pound list. However, following his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May 2010, Mosley was dropped from the pound-for-pound rankings by September 2010.
    He was Number 3 on Feb and April and dropped to Number 5 after losing to Floyd.

    In the eight bouts AFTER Mayweather Mosley went 3-4-1. So tell me are you going to tell me he was PRIME or even close to it vs Mayweather?

    He was not pound for pound number 3. He hadn't been in the pound for pound for YEARS.
    Now answer the question was he PRIME,close to it, or was he SHOT?

    Right and your answer if Mosley was in his prime or close to it for May weather was......... he was WAY past his prime as he showed by losing most of his remaining bouts.
    But hey he went from being the THIRD BEST BOXER in the entire world to being a totally shot boxer unable to post any good wins in ONE YEAR.

    Again that was never my argument just concede you were wrong and he was ranked third before the fight and we can go our separate ways
