    I'd say he'd be top 30.......under say the Leonard's and Ezzard Charles but close or even with fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez and Alexis Arguello

    Naw.....Mayweather has the greater body of work, and has established himself top 10 all-time at one weight (130) and p4p. Would be a great win for Mosley, but Mayweather has beaten stiffer competition

    Neither has Manny Pacquaio, Bernard Hopkins, or the other previous p4p best in the world.......it would be a great win but its kinda would have that Aaron Pryor affect.....decent wins a very good one with Cervantez, and gets pushed to far up the rankings beating a p4p great in Arguello who is smaller.

    Not even top 40. The guy is overrated. If he beats him, it will not be due to skill but a lucky punch.

    I was comparing it to how people ranked Pryor ATG...some have him top 20-top 30 but his competition isnt that great he just has one or two wins over top guys......

    I'm a massive Shane fan, but you really should pose this to classic as I've seen much more personal 100 all time great lists put up there.

    I will say though I currently rank Shane in this position in this group.

    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Erik Morales
    Sugar Shane Mosley

    I wouldn't change it to be honest.

    In my opinion the things that distinguishes Shane is from day one his willingness to fight anyone, and ya gotta know he's got heart. Throughout his career there's been no ducking the hard fights.

    Unfortunately we only know Shane has been a clean fighter for one fight for certain. If he somehow looks spectacular, won't it be weighing on people's mind if he is using EPO again. I hate to say it cause I am a fan of Shane and would love to see him pull off the win.

    He did step aside for Oscar, but no way, no how was he actually afraid to fight Floyd.
