    He has only been down twice in his career. Once against Forrest and once against Pac Man.

    He has been in numerous wars against the likes of:

    ODLH * 2 - big 147lb fighter with a killer left hook

    Forrest * 2 - big 147lb fighter with great technique, rangey and solid power

    Winky Wright * 2 - HUGE 154lb fighter. Winky with his excellent defence and great accuracy

    Cotto - at the time Cotto was in his prime, knocking out guys like Judah, Quintana. Hit Mosley with bombs

    Pacquiao - P4P #1 at the time and running through the welterweight division

    Mayweather - stuck it out for 12 with the boxing master even though he couldn't compete with Floyd's reflexes at such an age

    Alvarez - took some massive shots and never went down. That left hook to the body dropped me vicariously.

    Also been in tough fights with Rivera, Vargas, Mayorga, Margarito.

    I think his durability is the best i have ever seen of any fighter since perhaps Ali.

    Not sure about all time, but of his time, he definitely is.

    His chin seems like the only thing he got left nowadays.

    He is definitely a tough mofo and can hang with pretty much anyone. One of those two knockdowns came when he was WAY past his prime.

    Most definitely, the average person would have been koe'd like 3 times with the bombs Mayweather was landing on him

    I dont feel he truly started roiding until he moved up 2 divsions to fight ODH, where he easily retained his power and speed. Notice back in those days 147 mosley used to damn near look like a middleweight, when now at 40+ when he should look heavier, looks as if he belongs at LWW and seemingly small for the ww divsion



    The timning doesn't mean anything, he's still a cheat regardless, but as we see now that's simply boxing and he was partaking in the norm, and thats all sports not just boxing, people like to act like roids were created in the 90's and try to bury the stories of athletes using roids in the 50's........................But I digress

    Yes, Mosley was made of iron. It'd take a serious puncher to stop him.

    Mosley now looks like a LWW? Get real. He's bigger than Mayweather, see above. Khan at 5'8.5 (was 5'10, but check boxrec now) is a legit LWW, he is clearly smaller than Mosley.

    Yeah, the guy is pretty durable. I was very surprised to see him standing after those body shots from Alvarez. He has to retire now, it's just silly watching him carry on.

    because Mayweather is a puncher of epic proportions, but yeah Mosley's chin is one of pure Granite. The Forrest KD would be enough to knock a lot of light middle's unconscious.
