    Greg Page and Bernard "Superbad" Mays who Manny steward called more talented than Thomas Hearns.
    Also El Gato Gonzalez.

    I was all on the Mosley bandwagon. I remember the Ring magazine treated him like the second coming of ray Robinson and I bought it hook, line, and sinker. The Ring had a magazine.dedicated to the 12 best fighters in the world, discussed their biggest fights strengths and weaknesses. For Mosley they said: What weaknesses? The.Forrest fight was stunning.

    :deal Amazing how easily people are seduced by a touch of speed.

    I assume they were talking about LW Mosley?

    You had to be there. A lot of people thought that Mosley got better when he moved up. And he had been a beast at 135.

    Everybody did. After de la hoya he was a consensus number 1.

    I thought Andre Dirrell would go places with his talents and possibly win the S6 but after that circus act with Abraham he hasn't done ****. Don't think we'll ever see him with the big boys anymore.

    I can feel you on Page, Mays not so sure. I think Ramos and Shuler would've taken him.

    I said he would stop him with his workrate alone. Could not figure out why old Hops picked a young punching workhorse.

    Now I know. :D

    Nothing terribly wrong with it, either. The De La Hoya win was a good deal bigger than anything Roy was doing around the time and Shane had looked a beast in pretty much every fight out.

    In my much younger days, I saw Nirvana play some house shows, and remember thinking to myself, "What are they going to do with their lives when this doesn't work out?"

    Oh yeah..

    Prime Mays owned Thomas Hearns in the gym, and what did Tommy do to Shuler?

    Didn't Mays get dropped and held to a draw by Ted Sanders?
