    In his prime how good was he?

    Can prime Mosley beat guys like Mayweather, Pacquiao?

    I don't think so. He needed EPO to outlast prime DLH.

    Oscar was like the gatekeeper for greatness. If you squeaked by him you were no doubt exceptional, but great I don't think. A great fighter would beat Oscar convincingly.

    Mosley would always struggle with Floyd....he can't handle boxers.

    Pac would be 50/50...both juiced to no beyond...like to let their hands go....I still think Pac would out work him.....

    You DKSAB

    Shane, Oscar, Tito, Winky, Forrest, Vargas......it was another level of skill and talent back then. Prime Shane and Prime Oscar give Floyd absolute Hell. I'd favor Oscar to win a UD, and Shane to win or lose a very very close fight. :deal

    Between Pac, Floyd and Shane it's very difficult to say who was the best at using PEDs. :think It has to be Pac or Floyd since Shane was caught and foolishly admitted it.

    i will never understand how Shane Mosley and Evan Fields are somehow these extremely respected fighters despite being juiced to the gills while Barry Bonds can't even crack 40 percent on the HoF ballot.

    He's a 1st ballot HOF'er and a great fighter in his prime.

    He was a great fighter at LW but the talent level on his resume didn't pick up until he moved up to WW/JMW. His legacy is also tainted with him admitting PED usage.

    The problem I have with Shane is that he was absolutely juiced to the gills for75% of his career so its really hard to say.

    At lightweight he hammers Floyd.
