    Shanes been sugar for a long long time people. Watch Shanes old fights as a lightweight. That guy was more pleasing to watch than some of Floyds best vintage performances. Shanes already an ATG.

    He earned the Sugar name tonight. Winning the Welterweight title now, beating the dominant recognized champion, and at his age.

    I will say right now, I have not seen a better performance from Shane since his first win over DLH back in 2001. He looked absolutely sensational tonight.

    Shout out to Brother Nazeem, the man worked with Mosleys best assets; hand and foot speed, body punching, ring generalship- and he developed them to their absolute extent

    he's been Sugar Shane since his lightweight days, where he was truly a beast and at his best. no doubt he would of reigned there supreme even today or at 140lbs as well

    The big difference in this fight that not alot of people are mentioning is Shanes left hand, in previous fights it was almost non-existant, in this fight he was jabbing, throwing hooks and even turning southpaw to throw left hand bombs. You better believe that was the main thing they worked on for this fight.

    Mosley's resume and balls are light-years beyond sissy... hiding...picking his fights... Floyd. Period.

    Yeah, I agree 100% regardless of the fact that MARGO was never a great fighter, he was seen by many as not only one of the best WW's out there, but indestructible and Sugar Shane totally destroyed him and did what many people deemed to be IMPOSSIBLE, and thats KHTFO!!~!!

    Shanes left hand has never been missing. He KO`ed Vargas and Mayorga with the left hook. You sould watch a prime Mosley switch hit. He did it vs the woefully outclassed Shannon Taylor. It was beautiful to watch.
