    What a great fight! Shane would have the speed advantage but he tends to fight his opponents fight. This always leads to his fights being closer than they should be. (See Mosley vs. Mayorga) I think it would go to the cards as they are both tough and at some point they would both feel their power and then maybe start a chessmatch. I wanna say that Ike punched harder and Mosley doesnt have great defense so that may be the most important factor. Ike by split decision.

    Yes, I like Ike in this one too. Mosley is a fast handed puncher, but Williams has the range and power. Williams by UD.

    I think Mosley's speed sees him get off first and see Ike being pushed to the backfoot losing his leverage to get power in his shots, he'd also take Williams punches with his great chin. Ike's technique and skills are much better though so.............I don't know............

    My gut reaction says Williams would win. I think in terms of head to head Williams is as good as anyone at 135, but I also think Mosley is as well.
    I'm going with Williams for now at least.
