    Tough one........

    Shane has one clear win over Oscar plus a gifted one. Almost unbeatable at 135, but not quite the same fighter at 147 and 154 (especially).

    Oscar has won world titles in six weight classes, and was a dodgy decision away from taking Tito's '0' but received a gift against the great Felix Sturm

    De La Hoya. Not a difficult one.

    i think its tough. DLH could not handle speed (Mosley, Mayweather), and Mosley could not handle anyone that was slightly unconventional (Wright, Forrest, Mayorga)

    They both always looked to fight the best, never duck a challenge. I would say DLH edges it, as he did it at 5 weights.

    Maybe they should take off their business suits and settle this great debate in the ring for a third time or have a ruck in the car park.

    Alternatively I should be saying that they ought to be retired but that should've happened a while back.


    But I'd have to say ODLH to answer your question.

    Head-to-head Mosley is better. On accomplishments it's tough. DLH has fought bigger names but lost to many of them. Still I'd say he edges it.

    De la Hoya-Mosley at 135 is one sided.... De La Hoya legacy is far greater, Mosley has that flash in the pan feel, especially when he moved up to welter/light middle.

    Oscar but if Shane had kept his early momentum going it would have been a different story.

    Had it not been for Moseleys defeats to Forrest and Winky I would have said Shane but that has taken a bit of gloss off his career accomplishments in my opinion.
    Saying that when you look at the defeats that Oscar suffered I have to rethink.... He was demolished by BHop and was given that gift against Sturm. Also Moseley has beaten him twice.

    Very difficult one to call.

    I would say that ODLH takes it just...:good

    interesting thoughts, so no one has said mosley?

    i personally think DLH myself too, many of the reasons have been said already but the fact is he has a better resume and despite the fact i think shane is better h2h DLHs resume doesnt lie. so for me its also DLH
