    sorry that was a typo...when i watched teh fight again, i saw mosley body attack from 4-12. i am not saying he wont 8 stright rounds...but mosely was landing some hard body shots and that is when ODLH started to slow down.

    these shots are not always translateable on TV. I actually thougth at first ODLH got robbed. But after wathcign that video and noticing how SSM was pounding his body from roudns 4-12...i have revised my decision bc i think mosely body punching was more effective than ODLH jabs....if odlh jabs were effective than SSM shud not have been able to touch him the body so much.

    CLEAR WINNER!

    I take Mosley. I'm so sick of the name De la Hoya. Who exactly did he beat? The man lost every MAJOR FIGHT of his career, and none of you dumb shits better not bring up Chavez or Quartey.

    DLH. He has an excellent resume. Yes he got come gifts, but he also got robbed aginst Trinidad, which is why I have him above Trinidad. And Mosley is dead last for me becasue he is tarnished buy being a cheating steroid user.

    Yeah, makes perfect sense. "Loses every major fight of his career" and still manages to pick up 10 world titles, at 6 different weights...
    When did they start giving titles to the person who lost the fight?

    These three are hard to compare... Trinidad at welterweight was a beast even when he went up to 154, he still carried his power... What hurt him was fighting and losing to bigger guys, no shame at all for his three losses... Mosley career is still not over and looks great... hes doing amazing things from jumping to 154 coming back down to 147, and still coming out victorious, not to mention his accomplishments in his early career... DLH fought many names just like Trinidad... One of the most popular guys in boxing, which we should respect at least for him facing the known names... I probably feel like DLH could still be fighting at 154 and probably redeem himself... I just feel is to close to rate these three...
