    Mosley seemed to retain a lot of speed when moving up in weight. Great foot
    speed as well imo. Anyway, classic opinion of mosleys foot and hand speed at
    lightweight compared to past atgs?

    In terms of raw speed he's at the highest elite level within that division. Guys like sweet pea, floyd, leonard etc

    Fast hands at lightweight..........even faster in his early welterweight days.

    Yeah I remember I think I gave mosley the last six rounds in mosley delahoya 1.
    I was amazed at mosleys speed at welter. Any lightweights before duran s time1 I should know
    who were elite in the speed department?

    Power boxing.

    Shane was sensational at lightweight. I remember the comparisons to Ray Robinsons.

    Shane's best weight has always been 135lbs. He was a monster. Very few guys could take, i can only see 4 guys beating Shanein the last 50 years - duran, ortiz, pernell and buchanan - im talking 135lbs specialists here.

    Nice posts. Ill definitely check out buchanan im not too familliar with him. What do you
    Think of oscar vs shane at lightweight "adaptation"? Def would be a classic.
    You guys think shane is gonna retire or what.

    Delahoya improved quite a bit at welter so Mosley would win probably more decisively at LW

    Against Rivera in the early rounds Shane looked so quick it looked like a sped-up film!

    One of the most overrated 135lbers of all time.

    Yep. It turned him into just a fast brawler at times. Jack was hopeless.

    If you think he's so overrated at lightweight elaborate. I mean he never had
    a GREAT jab and didn't posess amazing boxing, but the speed the feints the right
    hand power. Correct me if im wrong but shane was undefeated at lightweight no?
