    At lightweight he had 32 wins with 30 by KO/TKO
    All 8 of his title defenses ended in KO's.
    Very prolific knockout artist at that weight, but I rarely see him mentioned as the hardest hitter in that division or even in the discussion. He should be shouldn't he?

    Shane had explosive power at Lightweight, I don't think anyone would argue that.

    Better then Tank?

    I think Mosley at light weight would dismantle & TKO tank.

    He was a monster at lightweight. His power was legit even at 147 but at 135 he was a big, big puncher.
