    Glad you folks got into this discussion. Although I do wish there was a little less name calling.

    Yeah, what the hell was that guy talking about. If were going to reward fighters for the fighters they lost to, then Zab is greater than Mosley.

    It's close, Mosley's accomplishments, especially at lightweight, are underrated, but PBF holds the better wins altogether. Mosley however clearly faced more challenges than PBF, and so in terms of legacy you have to credit Mosely with continuosly facing the best available. Overall I'll say it's a draw, or PBF by a hair.

    If Floyd beats Hatton, that will really set him apart.

    Mosley's accomplishments at lightweight? What would that be? Having an impressive knockout percentage against journeymen and retired bartenders?

    Mosley was and will always be superior, he beat a prime DLH, (his best win) and took every challenge possible, while being almost equal in skill department and being faster then mayweather with his hands, Mayweather tho as a good chance of beating him if he continu taking big fights like cotto hatton and spinks(yeah its a nightmare style wise for him) and of course mosley

    Sometimes its good this many pages in to go back to page one.

    Most impressive career to date? Mayweather. Better fighter? Both sides have valid claims, but I'll take Shane. He had the kind of powderkeg speed and power at 135 that only comes along every couple of decades, and you know what? I will give him credit for taking on and doing his damndest against fighters who presented nightmarish style matchups. Fiscally smart, maybe not, but that's what we all hope fighters will do, take on challenges and give them their best. Paul Williams is PBF's Viper. Think he'll ever get in the ring with him? I think not.

    I like how now that Margarito has lost, people are calling Floyd's title at welterweight "undisputed." Nothing revisionist about that at all.

    The question is ...was a prime delahoya better then the newer version of delahoya who has added MORE to his arsenal over the years and actually became a better technical fighter and actually more of a two handed fighter. In delahoya's prime he lived and died off of his left hook. Period. He was one dimensional he always had stamina problems. ALWAYS. That is the question I have. Some fighters get better as they go along and ODH has added something new to his game every fight to me. In the floyd fight he showed defense that never ever existed in a prime delahoya and a very good str8 powerful right hand. I think ODH now is better than the old one who did not win against the best fighters and was very beatable.

    Mosley is not even regarded that high. ONLY a floyd hater would say that. He is a one hit wonder. He worked his way up knocking out all bums NO competition and beat ODH. That is all. Winky whooped his ass. Forrest whooped his ass. It aint styles matchup.. B/c he fought them twice and got the same results. Though I give him his due for the 2nd winky fight. His best fight to me. Collazo gave him a good fight but his horribly slow pace(collazo) was the biggest reason he lost. I mean Collazo did the same **** with hatton. Im not saying he could beat mosley but he would of been more effective if he lit a fire in his ass.

    Yeah, only a Floyd hater could possibly have a differing opinion.

    Only a Too Shitty jizz gurgler could be that ****ing ignorant in dissing an ATG who behaved like a Champion. All the while gleefully bubbling the essence of Floyd in his lips:good Ever wonder why SSM didnt stay and RULE 35?? Because he was chasing a PRIME DLH!!! Well, now that Floyd toy did the same for OLD DLH, lets see his return and DOMINANCE at 47.

    Lets see PBF take on the types of Challeneges that SSM has faced, including SSM himself. PBF made a big deal of DLH??:lol: Well, Mosley was the better fighter!! At least have the decency to beat both of the old men:hey We all know PBF didnt have the balls to face Wright, even after calling him out:lol: :lol:

    When you mention shane you do not think GREAT fighter. He is respected for taking big fights and that is his MO. But he lost. So that dont equal a guy that jumped more divisions and fought way more top fighters. Baldi/judah were b level. But Forrest was B level. He beat shane and that was it. He did not make it to A level. ODH is most def B+ level a little past his prime. He aint that far gone. If you say he got tired in the floyd fight. You must of never seen ODH fight. He got tired in every fight that went to the late rounds. I tell you one thing, he was in better shape for the floyd fight, then he was for the past few. mayorga,bhop,sturm. Thats a damned fact.

    C money you **** *****.. Winky was a middleweight and walks around 180..Floyd was talking out of his ass when he said that so he checked himself. BUT ..But ******. Your boy margarita did the same ****. Called out winky and when the fight was going to go down. He said. I am no middleweight. If you call out winky you must know you have to go to 154..but the ****** said he is a welterweight..yeah...*****....:blurp
