If Mosley and Mayweather were to never have another match

I'd say Mayweather. It's hard to argue Mosley when Floyd has never been beat.

 

PBF is essentially where Mosley was after he beat Oscar the first time. The difference is that Mosley has never shied away from a challenge. When he lost to Forrest, he wanted an immediate rematch. Same with the Winky fights. As far as talent goes, I would rank them about the same, but I give Mosley extra credit for taking tough fights. So yes, I regard Mosley higher.

 

Exactly.

 

No, Mayweather is where Mosley never was. Up to beating De La Hoya the first time, Mosley never had the likes of Castillo, Corrales, or Judah on his resume. Mosley also never had a legitimate championship, let alone 3.

 

Mosley was linear Champion 3 times you ****ing maniac.

 

No offense, but how old were you back in 1997-2000 when Mosley was running roughshod through the lightweight division?

You either didn't witness Mosley's fights as they occurred during this time, or you must have forgotten what a beast Mosley truly was at 135. And then Mosley jumped two weight classes and beat a PRIME Oscar. A prime Oscar is better than anyone PBF has ever beaten.

 

When was this, you twit?

Do you even know what requirements determine a lineal championship? Mosley was never champion at 135 or 147. I'll give you 154 if you're that desperate.

 

How in the world could you possibly believe that PBF's accomplishments FAR EXCEED Mosley's? :huh

 

Most would pick Mayweather simply because he hasn't lost but, Mosley is the better fighter in my view. Mayweather hasn't fought better fighters than Mosley. Head-to-head Mosley would win.

 

I read them. You didn't change my mind.

 

Vernon Forrest was certainly no B-level fighter. He simply chose to unify the titles against the wrong man in Mayorga. Horrible matchup for Forrest.

 

Fact: Most pick Mayweather because he hasn't lost.

Fact: Mosley fought better fighter's despite losing (2nd fight with Wright was a lot closer).

Fact: Head-to-head Mosley would win because he fights, is just as quick, has more power, although risks defense to trade.

This is my view. You don't have to like it. Remember, Mayweather SD a past-the-prime dela Hoya. Mosley SD a prime dela Hoya.

 

How can you regard Mosley as an A-level fighter while dismissing his poor matchups while regarding Forrest as a B-level fighter based on his 2 performances against Mayorga (I'm assuming). When he beat Mosley, he was more highly regarded than Cotto is right now and in the middle of most everyone's P4P lists.
