    who wins never seen this ever talked about

    who wins and why?

    i think Robinson by wide ud i think he would knock Mosley down once but not ko as Mosley has an iron chin only been knocked down twice i believe by Pacquiao and Forrest.

    Robinson's sugar was of far higher quality.

    I've loved Mosley since I was watching on Tuesday Night Fights in the 90s, but there's no doubt that Robinson either wins a big decision or gets a late KO, especially if it's scheduled for 15.

    Robinson would knock Mosely out, it doesn`t matter to me that Shane has never been stopped before, Robinson did everything better than him & was the bigger guy as well, Vernon Forrest almost stopped Mosely in Shane`s 1st loss, Robinson hits far harder with either hand than Vernon & is light years ahead of him in terms of ability.

    Mosely is too open to survive the distance vs Sugar Ray Robinson, he`s never been in with anyone close to as good as Robinson, SRR has KO`d bigger & tougher men than Mosely on more than 1 occassion.

    Robinson KO7 Mosely

    Yeah, I was waiting for him as well.

    I could see Shane winning. Wouldn't put any money on it, but I could see it. Shane's fighting weight was 265 pounds, and he would've KO'd Armstrong so I have no doubts that he could've taken Robinson's blows, whatever that comparison means. I'll tentatively go with Shane by SD. Bigger, faster, harder, stronger, work it, make it, do it, make us harder! Better! Faster! Stronger!

    Vernon Forrest actually said he patterned himself after Sugar Ray Robinson whom he studied intensively. I imagine the original would improve on Forrest's effort and actually get Mosley out of there with those combinations.
