    How do you see this match up going?

    Second part, would the Whitaker of the DLH fight be able to beat that version of Mosley?

    I think Whitaker's superiority in boxing skills and smarts would be too much for Mosley.

    Maybe Mosley scores an early KD like McGirt did, but Whitaker would adapt and outbox Shane.

    I don't think 1997 Whitaker beats 2000 Shane though. Just like against DLH, Whitaker would do a good job of making Mosley miss more than usual. But I don't think Whitaker would land enough, and I think Mosley would do some quality bodywork to win a decision.

    Shane outworks him and wins a unanimous decision that most Whitaker fans dispute.
