    At 140, I'd take Mosely by dec. If fought at 147, my pick is Mosely by 9th rd stoppage.

    I really think Pryor was extremely comfortable at 140 and like Hatton wouldn't prosper at 147 or higher as he did at 140. He was built for JWW.

    I agree Russ...some guys just cant make that jump successfully even though they appear to physically strong and dominant at 140.

    The 140-147 jump has seen some pretty big names fail.

    That it does. I feel like Mosley would slaughter Pryor up at 147 but at 140 it would be closer.

    Wasn't Mosley a 160 pounds in 140 pound fights regardless?

    He weighed in 155-160 by fight time for his welter fights...not sure what he would have been at 135-140.
