    I've got Gonzalez winning this comfortably on points here. Thoughts?

    In my opinion KG would win every round, or something like it.

    Taller, faster, better, granite chin, he's an absolute nightmare for Mosley.

    The Keed schools Mosley at 147.

    Once more Mosely tucks tail and runs to live to fight another day. No glory. Also no guts.

    Kid by UD. Too much skill and experience for Shane.

    Mosley could really dice the Hawk up if he gets in the flow of things, very durable, strong, powerful and very very swift of hand the Cuban Hawk however is truly great so only truth be told a small chance exists for Sugar Shane a 4-8 type decision in my eyes.

    Mosley is a one trick pony that once his plan "A" is taken away from
    him, he usually didn't have a plan "B'. Against a fighter as talented
    as The "Keed" Gavilan, he would need Plans A,B,C,D and E.
    Gavilan would school Mosley, If he won a round against Gavilan,
    it would be a mild surprise.
    Gavilan by a very wide decisive win.....

    Personally ...I’ve always considered Shane Mosley a poor man’s version of Kid Gavilan...they have a lot of the same attributes

    Gavilan too good. Mosley's speed and power would make him a live a challenge throughout the fight but Gavilan was too skilled. He'd neutralize the speed/power of Shane and outbox him.

    Mosleys head will be spinning by the 6th. Only his chin will save him for a wide decision loss but a Turner type stoppage is not out of the question

    If Vernon forrest could put a fresh Mosley on ice skates I think Gavilan could take out a gassed out, confused Mosley

    lmao, a guy weighing in the low 150s who wasn't known for his power in the first place doesn't compare in power to a 160+ lb. guy, also Mosley got hit repeatedly by prime Oscar, prime Cotto, and Pacquiao yet went the distance against all of them; Gavilan would not stand a chance of stopping him
