Yep, reading through all these posts. I think hoya's and shane's last two fights are limiting judgement a bit too much. This thread would have been better posted a month from now than so soon after Shane's win. When this same thread was posted earlier last year Hoya came out on top clearly over Shane. Now are ESB'ers that fickle that they pick old fighters' legacies over their last past prime fights? I guess so. It was great what Shane did and that he did it at the end of his carreer is great too. But let's see Shane face Berto or someone with the speed of a young man and see if he doesn't come off looking like Hoya in his last fight as well?:think
its preference, both have great resumes but dlh has a better one but mosley head to head, is a better fighter. he jumped two wieght classes and fought the bigger dlh and beat him in dlh's prime. so its how u balance resumes and head 2 head match-ups
Head to head they're pretty evenly matched. Shane had two or three fights at 147 before fighting Oscar. Infact he was at 147 for a little over a year before Oscar, so I don't think Oscar had a size advantage necessarily. Then in the rematch Oscar clearly beat a roided Shane.
dlh is still a bigger welter. if you saw the fight, its was evident. and mosley flat out beat dlh the first time they fought, by the time the rematch came around, mosley was on decline having already lost twice to forrest. thats why if you read the post in dlh's prime, which was also mosley's prime.
Uh he won by SD. 7-5 is reasonable. A draw can be argued, but anything else is absurd. Have you seen the fight? OScar dominated the first half. Then he got tired.
