What would Mosley's record be if he fought PBF's level of comp? Where would he rank?

    What happened when Mosley increase the tempo? Winky didn't change anything. What happened when Hopkins completely took away his jab? He didn't know what to do. Winky doesn't know how to adjust.

    As for Mosley, yeah he had all those stoppages, but looking at actual fights, he wasn't a KO puncher, he stopped by quantity, not by quality. And he was pretty durable fighting smaller men, so he could win actual wars. He wasn't outboxing, he was outpunching them using handspeed. People are making too much out of Margarito fight, thinking him more clever than he really was (based on 15-20 his fights I've seen).

    Winky beat Shane comfortably both times. That he even put his hands down to give Shave a free swing let's you know how interested he was in that fight. He was totally in control, even though Shane had his moments.

    Against Hopkins he still outlanded him, and would have done more so if Bernard wasn't holding him after each exchange. The problem was that he was out of his weight class more than anything , and was sluggish with his punches.

    I'm not. Never rated Margarito myself, and I thought Shane looked average against him, even though he won. Shane has been past it for years now, it's just that the current 'stacked' welterweight division is so lame that they are allowing him to survive and thrive.

    Against Floyd's comp? LOL please! Shane would have been unbeaten!

    I loved Chico Corrales, but had he fought Mosley at 135... Shane might have ended his life before that accident did.

    I think Shane would've lost to Carlos Baldomir. :-(






    Floyd's resume is horribly overrated.

    Mosley would be ranked higher than PBF based solely on being more engaging in his personality.

    Shane would be undefeated if he fought Floyd's level of competition. The other way to look at it is how would floyd have stood up if he fought the same guys Shane did? I'm convinced Floyd wouldn't be undefeated.

    I haven't bothered answering the question as I rate Mosley above Floyd. Simple as that.

    Whether or not you rated Margarito, Shane was awesome in that fight. Some of his punches could not be seen without the aid of slo-mo, for a 37 year old man to do that, you can't look average surely.

    I think he looked a couple rungs below prime form, so he didn't impress me with what he showed. Was it still outstanding FOR A 37 YEAR OLD? Yeah, sure.

    Mosley would be 39-0 with a better KO percentage.

    He would be in the same place Floyd is at. A guy who did not fight the best, but beat them all and looked dominant. This is a very good question actually. I think Shane would dominate all the guys who Floyd beat, and probably stop some of them which Floyd didn't. Shane might look a little more worn out after the fights, but get earlier stoppages.

    Shane Mosley would be undefeated and we'd have to listen to him going, "Well it's like this...40 have tried...and 40 have failed. There's no blueprint to beat me".
