Had Shane stayed in the lower weights, would he have had a better career?

    Let's say after he beat DLH, move back down... where he is the best. Do you think he would have had a better career?

    He would have only ran into trouble with Floyd.

    Maybe he would have had a better record... but we would always have wondered how he would have fared against boxers in higher weight classes.

    The guy didn't exactly choose the path of least resistance in his career.

    I would favor a prime Mosley to beat Floyd.
