    Although I'm extremely biased towards Mosley, even I think you can make the case that Trinidad has the better resume. But in an actual fight, Mosley would win because of styles I believe. Felix had a good jab but not the great kind of jab you need to knock Shane off balance and disrupt what he likes to do.

    So, Trinidad was a more dominant champion, Mosley the better fighter.

    His top win there was probably Philip Holiday, who was a pretty good fighter at the time and had some defenses racked up himself before Shane took his title from him.

    I voted for Mosley but its tough

    I guess that recent fights (Margarito, Mayorga) gave him the edge

    Mostly the DLH fights, plus Mosely hung around longer and is still a top-tier fighter. Tito didn't actually beat ODLH, he got taken to school in every way and that decision was absolute and pure bull****. Mosely has at least one legit win over ODLH. Tito didn't do much after the Hopkins fight and the handwraps controversy doesn't help his legacy and imho takes something away from his brutal KO's at MW. I also thought Tito was going to lose that fight against Vargas without the low blows....

    Why didn't Shane and Tito ever fight?

    It shouldn't. Forrest was a HELL of a fighter prior to his injury and could hang with ANY welterweight, including DLH and Tito.

    Do you have to be wrong EVERY time you post? It's getting tiresome... you'd think you'd just get lucky and be right at least ONE time.

    Both have virtually the same accomplishments in terms of titles and weights.

    Mosley has better longevity, but Trinidad didn't lose 4 times in his prime and also Tito has a slightly better resume.

    For me, its Tito.

    Tito...Rodriguez, Faded but incumbent Blocker, Faded Camacho, Campas, Carr, Faded Pendleton, Waters, Faded Sweet Pea, Reid, Vargas, Fat but prime Mayorga, meh...Joppy I guess.

    Shane...Holiday, Leija.........Hoya.......Past prime Vargas..Collazo, no-plaster Margarito. (The dots stand for all the roids he took).

    Id take Tito...He had a much better career at his best weight. Had better wins for a deeper resume and overall showed a better level of in the ring dominance..Shane lost 5 times in his prime.

    Not sure about that. He was a hell of a fighter, but he Mayorga mopped the floor with him twice, literary.

    No way does trinidad KO mosley.

    Just cause he has power means an automatic KO for Trinidad? Vargas makes it to the late rounds yet Mosley cant?

    Mosley went 24 rounds with DLH, who has a powerful left hook and was never hurt. Now does Tito hit that much harder than DLH's best left hook? No way does mosley get KOed when we've seen how durable he is in the forrest fights
