    I agree with that too, except I think that Tsyzu would have beat him by a close but clear UD.

    Defintally not up on the level of Leonard and Robinson but that doesnt mean he isnt worthy of the Sugar nickname. Like both Sugars Shane Mosley is extremly gifted and talented plus he was a great fighter and took on the toughest guys out there for him. Somebodys gotta be the worst of the great Sugars and it just so happens to be him.

    I don't think so just becasue of Shane chin, power, and speed. Also I think that would be a hell of a war. But I pick Shane by tko in the 7th. But Shane in his prime was a beast and is still hanging with this new cats which is amazing

    Yeah, but you forget that Tsyzu was 35 when he destroyed Mitchell and nearly 36 when he fought Hatton and was extremely competitive until the dodgy low blows and shitty ref.

    Prime for prime I pick Tsyzu, too good of a counter puncher, too powerful and SSM wouldn't know what to do. He is really underrated by many. Would have been an excellent fight.

    Mosley has always been a stand up guy. To bad he never was greater than he should have been. Mosley should have been a household name. His promoters dropped the ball with him. He had a great smile, great personality and was a great fighter. He is one of the greats and did the 'Sugar' name proud.

    Top 100 ATG, but nowhere near the Top 5, which is where the other 2 Sugars lie.

    Your Goddamn right he does. He'z never ducked any one and still wantsta fight Maywether. This dude doesn't give a **** about the thought of a 6th. loss. For me that speaks volumes. This guy would fight the terminator if he felt it would make his fans proud. And I've grown to be quite proud of Sugar Shane. He's one of the all-time greats. Believe it.

    Okay look, I was sittin' here tryin' to think of a way to convey my point and think I may have found it. Though I loved Sugar Ray, he didn't offer Hagler a rematch, did he. Dontcha think Sugar Shane would have? You all know the answer, don't you?

    Here yu go, it wouldn't surprise me if Shane went into retirement for a few years or better and came out to fight a primed Cotto or whoever only to get his ass kicked just like Sugar Ray did against Camacho back in 97. The kidz that gutsee. He probabaly will too. Betcha.

    Yes he was. A shame their boxing career, or boxing business, never crossed down the road.

    Ask yourself this, why hasn't Money fought Cotto when Shane was so readily to and not only did, but gave the guy what was arguably the fight of his life. I betcha Shane would fight the winner of the 26th. in a heartbeat and think little of it.
