JCC Duran Whitaker Mayweather those four off the top of my head beat Mosley at 135 - who's resume at that weight was highly questionable. JCC's body attack, savvy, relentlessness, and tactics would give him the nod over Mosley. At LW, Mosley's just fast as hell and had tremendous power ... JCC can box, brawl, pressure, lead, and he was good at cutting off the ring.
I take nothing away from Mosely, he was probably the best LWT since Whitaker but i think a lot of people on ESB forget just how good Julio Cesar Chavez was at his peak. The 25 yr old LWT Chavez who fought Rosario would win a unanimous decision vs Mosely IMO. Chavez was easily a top 10 all time fighter, Mosely IMO is not.
Mosley also is very hittable ... Mosley has no jab ... Mosley has never been hit in the body like JCC would do to him ... Mosley can't box, he's just fast ... Mosley has no defense ... Mosley is just fast ... Mosley has no head/shoulder movements ... He doesn't step to the side ... he comes in and backs up in a straight like and just bounces up and down.
Would be interesting. Like the recent Cotto Mosely fight, except Chavez would never take a step back or fight defensively. Big differences in Chavez and Cotto ability and stylewise.. Cotto is a more rounded boxer and able to fight defensively, where Chavez was more a relentless fighter who would use defensive movements to create offense, he always moved forward and never needed to addapt and step backwards because he had the chin and durability to back up a relentless style. Both fighters sit on their body shots. Cotto is the more versatile fighter with the ***** in his chin. Chavez was more one dimensional but able to get away with it because of his durability.. Ends up being a durability contest, Chavez vs Mosely. Guy who moves foward in a fight doles out more damage than the guy stepping straight back who isn't hard to find. Shane was, and still is too easy to hit. Chavez' defense was even better than Shanes.
