    Slightly?

    Titos win against an old post- prime Pea is better than anything Mosley ever cheated his way to.:bart

    Funny you mention that cuz i met him too. I met him in a bowling alley in Memphis...he was bowling with a couple of friends and watching ESPN boxing highlights and i said to myself...:huhHe looks like Zab Judah. Then I kinda waited up with my bowling ball just to get a better look threw my ball and turned around subtly to get a better look and was like "HEY! You're zab judah!!" and he was like "Yea thats me!" He shook my hand and I asked him how he felt about his upcoming fight (Against Cotto :yep) and he said he's confident his speed will win the fight. I'm a Cotto fan so i didn't wanna give any advice or spill the beans about being a fan of Cotto's so i just asked a basic question. But he's actually a really kool guy. He's much smaller than he looks too.

    Other than that I've actually seen Shane around Pomona once, but was too far away to actually meet him and what not.

    The lightweight Mosely who moved up would have dominated the 140 lb junior welter division for years.

    But like Duran, he was looking for bigger fish to fry and challenged himself where many times he was just too small.

    But, because he was such a credit to boxing, I would rate him an ATG.

    I dont know why he isnt considered better then Oscar since he's beaten him twice. With a win or loss to Margarito he has the edge over Oscar, but still is just slightly below Tito. I agree that ODLH has a better resume but the 2 head to head fights speak for themselves and Shane was victorious, one of the two fights is disputable but none the less he has 2 wins over Oscar.

    I would say so...he beat De La Hoya twice if I'm not mistaken.
    And beating Margie would be a feat that De La Hoya ran from.

    De La Hoya put a stick on his shoulder and dared Margie to knock it off.

    Margie knoced it off and spit in his face and called him a coward.....
    Oscar turned and ran.....

    Give it to Mosley....he has cajones.

    Hard to say if he surpasses them because what exactly would make him surpass their achievements, he has pretty much been in the mix just as long as them and he beat Oscar twice, Oscar lost to Felix and lost to Hopkins, Mosley has been in with top opposition but so has Felix and Oscar so very hard to say but it would be an achievement if he did beat Margarito but sometimes a fight sometimes goes into a stage where skill is irrelevant and it becomes a battle of wills and Margarito has tunnel vision and I cannot see Mosley De-railing him, not at this stage of his career. I personally preferred Mosley as a fighter over Oscar simply because I always saw Oscar as Hollywood and when he ran from Trinidad in that fight I lost respect for his fight game.
