    Both at their lightweight best or in 95 or earlier when the fight could have happen? If it is prime vs prime Shane should take it. Despite the results in their two fights I hold Oscar as the greater fighter, but Shane was the much more seasoned fighter at lightweight and would beat a green Oscar by decision. In 95 Oscar KO's him, Shane would have been way to green, he didnt win his first title until 97.

    Do you think Mosley would always have had Oscar's number regardless of weight? Tricky one to judge at 135 in my view.

    Yes. I think he was a better light weight than Oscar as well

    Maybe Shane. Thought Oscar beat him in second bout.

    Good fight.

    Not much between them just as there wasn't when they met at 147 and 154.

    I though Mosley won fight 1 clearly in a competitive fight and Oscar won the rematch close but clear as well. I don't think a fight at 135 would be any less close and competitive but I lean towards Oscar just.

    Shane was just all wrong for oscar at the lower weights
    Oscar did better at 154 but 154+ wasnt shanes strongest place

    I agree and I think this would be the most competitive and best version of a matchup between these two.
