    tough call. we never got to see shane at 140 but judging by the 135 version, meldrick would be slightly faster, have far less power, better combinations and for me, a lesser chin (but not by much). i see meldrick sweeping the first 6 with mosley's power starting to turn the tide thereafter. there is a knockdown or two but meldrick does just enough to eek by with a majority decision.

    meldrick by a grossly one sided decision, he would be way too fast for mosley. i like shane and he truly is an ATG, but he never had to face a speed freak like meldrick, and we've all seen how mosley fares against fighters that are pretty fast (wright).

    Shane would win and bust up Meldricks face. Guys like Meekins busted up Meldricks face, what would Shane do to it.

    I don't think so. Shane is strong and Meldrick fights on the inside. Meldrick is a little quicker on the inside, but that would nullified by Shane's inside strength, and also Meldrick's face never took punches well.

    I love these "what if's". Anyway, Mosley stops taylor inside of 9. Easy call imo.

    at 140 i see Taylor outpointing him, even a wide UD, UNLESS Shame stops him on the later rounds.

    Meekins didn't bust up Meldrick's face.. Meekins took an ass whoopin.. Meekins was not a busy fighter at all, he would sit back and chose his shots and Meldrick would swarm him..

    Any how, Shane too strong for meldrick,,, Shane is very similar to Norris and Norris blasted Meldrick ..

    I think Meldrick's tendency to trade more than he should could hurt him in this fight, but Mosley never faced someone with that kind of speed...tough fight to call for me, but I'd have loved to see it.

    Mosely wasn't quite as fast but he hit much harder. He would bust Taylor up and Taylor is one of my all time favs. Bad style matchup for Taylor but a winner for the fans.

    It would be the fastest combination punching fight in history. I can tell you that!
