    The version of Mosley that Floyd fought was not a better fighter than the Virgil Hill that Hearns beat. No ****ing way.

    At least double the spaces down the list.

    I'm also inclined to ask who they have 14 spaces ahead of him.......but that's just too easy to expose them.

    Top 30-40 for me.

    Based on watching some of Hills 10 defences of his title before meeting Hearns and realising he was a very good fighter and comparing it to the old Mosley who gassed after 2 rounds against Floyd.

    I know you're going to bring up Mosley beating Margarito in the fight before Floyd, but that was well over a year before and when you get to your late 30s that time can make all the difference.

    Fair enough, I just think Mosley was the more versatile fighter. He only had that one debateable loss to Cotto in what, 7 years? Then the huge KTFO victory of Margarito.

    Put it this way, after losing to Hearns, Hill went on to win a WBA LHW world title, which he defended 10 times, then he unified and became the lineal champion again by defeating Henry Maske, before losing to Darius Michaelczewski when past his prime.

    After losing to Mayweather, Mosley has since drawn with Sergio Mora, lost a wide UD to Pacquiao and lost a wide UD to Canelo.

    You seriously thought Mosley was a better win than Hill!?

    Lol,just WHO did Duran beat for that middleweight title,lol?You have written many,many times that "Duran started fighting better guys when he moved up and they wrote the blueprint on how to beat him".Many times.Bet yet you ignore that he was past prime anytime after 147.I never wrote Duran's win over Moore meant the old Duran was back.Where you got that I wrote that I've no idea.Good luck to you.Just because Duran fought well against Barkley does not mean he was close to prime.But if you want to infer that,cheers.Once again,because this is the FOURTH TIME that I'm requesting that you answer the question(either from this thread or on another).Do you believe that the Duran from Montreal beats Kirkland Laing?Would you please simply answer the question honestly?Or am I going to have to request it again as you are simply ignoring the question?

    This is as bad as those Ali vs Klitschko threads.
