What exactly has Mosley done that make him so great?

This whole sentence yanked the credibility rug out from under this thread's feet. The bold especially.

 

That's true and I agree with that. Which is why I say Mosley is mostly overrated resume wise and not skill wise. He beat DLH and Margarito. Then it also depends on how high you rate Marg. However he absolutely demolished him, and made a statement. **** I think, all them, Pac, Mosley and Floyd are overrated a Welter!. And Mosley has the best win at welter probably, but that was ages ago against a prime fishnets.

 

exactly
mosley loses to winky 2times and forrest 2 times
mosley also has wins against guys mayweather wouldnt think about about fighting in Margarito

2 guys mayweather wouldnt even think about fighting

so mayweather has a nice pretty record, but has more average joes than forrest, winky,margarito caliber guys

 

He's only overrated now mayweather is about to fight him.

Classic case of HATERAID

 

Dominated LW and then moved up to beat one of the toughest WW's ever head-to-head to beat in an amazing fight. That right there is enough to be called great and ....but to cement his claim for greatness 9 years after...9 years! after moving up to beat Oscar at WW, he demolished another #1 WW in Margarito.

 

:good

 

Is it just easier to assume eveyone who talks **** about Shane or Floyd is a *******? What about the Floyd fans who talk **** about Shane...are they really *******s? :huh

 

His resume may be overrated specially as he was (proven) to be on steroids I believe during his greatest triumph in beating DLH. H2H in his prime though, both at LW & WW, one of the best ever.

Mosley was seen as a shot past prime fighter 2 years ago straight after his fight with Mayorga. People thought Cotto would beat him and Cotto did but Mosley put up a much better fight than people predicted. I picked Mosley to beat Margo but those who lack analysing skills picked Margo and was so shocked when Mosley beat Margo that the underrating of Mosley turned to overrating.

Margo was tailor made for Mosley. Because of Mosley's size he is top 3 WW today but lets not forget, a lot of people now believe Cotto to be some B level fighter, Cotto beat Mosley. Mosley is roughly the same level as Cotto now, p4p neither guy is as good as PBF/Pac but because of their size, H2H they come pretty close.

Mosley is Floyds toughest test yet, Floyd gets credit for taking him on and even more for beating him. IMO it will be Floyds greatest victory.

 

Absolutely! Mosley was ahead in that fight with Vargas, people need to do their damn homework before starting these kind of threads!

Also, the threadstarter fails to take into consideration Mosley's longevity, his willingness to take chances, his ability to bounce back from defeats, the entertainment value of most of his fights and doesn't mention Shane's dominant wins over solid fighters like Collazo and Margarito in his mid-thirties.
