    Hmmmm,:huh

    Mosley had the best attack, extremely fast and relentless.

    Tito had the best power and had good "prowler" style footwork that always put him in place to land a bomb. Almost any punch of his was a bomb.

    Hoya was the more complete fighter with good feinting ability, parrying skills, use of combinations, and could fight on the backfoot. Very good power as well.

    Trinidad!

    At 147 and 154... toe to toe in a war he would have KO SSM and ODLH.

    I think you have to pick Oscar, just based on Mosley's weak competition during his prime and Tito's limited ability to adapt during a fight.

    Id go with Oscar even though he is techniqually 0-3 vs the guys. I think hes a much more complete fighter then either Shane or Tito. What Oscar lacked agianst them was stamina.

    1. DLH
    2. Trinidad
    3. Mosley
    I think this will be the order historically, when it's all said and done.

    1. Tito
    2. Mosley
    3. Oscar

    Oscar lost to each of them.........

    Tito and Shane ONLY lost to guys who posed stylistic nightmares for them. Ironically for all of this "crap" about Oscar's resume, DLH wouldn't be caught dead in the ring with Vernon Forrest, Roy Jones, or Winky Wright......He'd prefer to "box" a smaller guy in Mayweather and EVEN faded at the end of this match...

    Actually, Oscar is known to "fade" in alot of his "big fights".....IF you're talking PURE pugilism, this is the list.

    If "we" can chuck out the offcial verdicts for the Whitaker and Sturm fights and give our own "unofficial" verdicts, then Oscar beat both these guys (mosley the second time) by being historically kind in turn. Hearns beat Leonard second time. As fans we have to understand this weird **** that happens "officially."
