Is Shane Mosley overrated?

32-0, 30 KOs. Went the distance early in his careeer and against Phillip Holyday in winning the IBF LWT title... Hoya was a great LWT and WW too but I find it funny how these nutthuggers have the nerve to suggest that Shane is overrated when Oscar has screwed Mosley twice to fight Mayweather for the WW Championship. Oscar has not fought as a 147 pounder since 2001 against Gatti in NJ. Ever since, he had two good displays against Vargas and Mayorga, didn't look good against Castillejo and Campas, looked like **** against Sturm and Hops and was already beaten by Floyd. What right does he have to fight Mayweather.again and again?... Molsey made a competitive fight with Cotto and is fighting Judah ( not Mayorga or Forbes) so how come he's overrated???

 

The rematch with Mayweather is above 147.

Oscar can't make 147 anymore.

 

He was better at 147, he looked better at 135 because of the third rate competition he fought.

 

Yeah, and stylistically, Floyd would put a boxing clinic on him at this stage. Mosley is clearly past his prime.

 

Highly overrated at WW... but in his prime? Top 200 ATG

 

No he is not.

 

Going by The Ring's p4p list, Mosley was on the p4p list before he beat Oscar.

He fell of the list after the 2nd Forrest fight. He was back on it shortly after the 2nd fight with DLH, but promptly fell off after the loss to Winky.

I don't think he's been back on it since then, maybe he was at the very bottom after the Collazo fight, but he ain't on it now.

But basically he's been on the p4p top 10 for only a very short time since losing to Forrest twice.

 

cotto didnt retreat against NDou, he boxed, and he did so beautifully. That was IMO Cotto's finest performance at 140.

 

Mosley was on the p4p list before he beat Oscar

 

Cotto beats Mosley and all of a sudden Shane is overrated...you're pathetic:-(

 

Mosely is overrated.

 

you're an abortion:good

 

If u watched SSM early in his career especially @135 u knew he was special. He was a LW MONSTER! He knew DLH from the amatuers and they were both the best. He jumped to WW for fame and fortune. I actually picked Shane to beat Oscar because I watched him @135.

Sugar Shane ALWAYS brings it. He has TONS of heart. I wish he could of stayed @35 and ventured to 140 then 147. The lure of a DLH fight and $$$ is hard to miss.

 

Mosley's resume is amazing! He fought arguably the best WW's and JMW; DLH, FORREST, WINKY WRIGHT...and was very competitive, never stopped.

 

Good fighter at 135, but as he moved up, he got worse, lucky he had so many judges voting for him, even when he lost.
