    2.Mosley 2 wins over Oscar put him here
    3.MAB losses to Pac and JMM hurt him IMO wins over Nas and EM help him.
    4.Oscar Lost to many megafights and gifts in others

    Reason for ranking MAB over BHop is that MAB beat genuine HOF on his own weight class. Wins over Hamed & Morales*2 IMO are more impressive than wins over undersized Tito & ODLH. Granted he got a win over Winky & Tarver so that may sway it depending on how you rate those victories vs MAB's other victories. MAB has losses to Jones, Morales & pac but Bhop has losses to Jones & taylor*2, his first loss doesnt really count.

    Those bogus "losses" to Taylor shouldn't count either! :-(

    But could you make an actual case for Mosley being ahead of him?
