    :deal

    Mosley has the best resume by far, but he lost to the best. The exception of course is DLH. Mosley is to DLH as JMM is to Pac.

    DLH only fought six times in the last 10 years and he went 3-3.

    He has the best list of opponents, not the best resume.

    It's still his resume, a list of his professional fights.

    How could I have forgot DLH and Mosley?

    Both fought Floyd and Pac.

    Mosley fought Magarito and Cotto.

    DLH fought Mayorga and Hopkins.

    Yes, win-lose record not great, but we're talking resumes.

    How can you count getting beaten by someone as an accomplishment though? If you were to make yourself a resume would you include the jobs you applied for and didn't get? **** no. A resume is a list of accomplishments, not failures.

    A resume is a list of your experiences. You list the jobs you had no matter how shitty they were. You don't exclude things on your record because you lost. Mosley was in most of his fights. There's nothing to be ashamed about losing there.

    So would you say he's had a better career than say Mayweather over the last 10 years?

    It's not like people wouldn't say Ali fought Frazier 3 x

    Or Leonard/Duran fought each other 2 x (3, but meh)

    Or, even more appropriate, Hearns didn't fight Leonard, or Benitez didn't fight Leonard or Hearns.

    Going up against great fights, and losing (usually in competitive fashion), certainly adds to the 'resume' of a fighter. In my honest opinion.

    With that said, it's not as strong as fighters who actually won those respective fights. No questions.

    Pacquiao and Bradley

    Cotto has a good resume

    Paul Williams resume is possibly the most underrated of all time

    Mayweather has a top 25 resume

    No, a better resume doesn't mean a better fighter. Mosley has been past his prime for a while. We seem to be arguing semantics. To me a resume is a list of your experiences, good or otherwise. You treat a resume as a list of positive accomplishments.
