    The Darryl Tyson ( Feb. 9, 1996) was a Super-Lightweight non title
    fight.

    Still, Sugar Shane Mosley LW record (32-0, 30 Kayos): 9-0 (8 kayos)
    in title fights (previously undefeated Phillip Holiday went the distance
    Unc, CO, Aug 2, 1997, Oscar Lopez went 10 rounds in Po, CA March
    26, 1994) - world lw title kayo victims: Manuel Gomes ( TKO11),
    Demetrio Ceballos (KO8, John John Molina (TKO8, Wilfrido Ruiz (KO5),
    Eduardo Morales (TKO 5), James Leija ( KO7), Golden Johnson (KO7),
    John Brown ( TKO 9)

    Roberto Duran LW record (63-1, 50 kayos): 12-0 (11 Kayos) fights, lost L10 in 11-17, 1974 to Esteban De Jesus ( avenged loss KO 11 3-16-1974 & TKO 12 1-21-1974, LW title kayo victims: Ken Buchanan (TKO 13), Jimmy Robertson ( KO 5), Hector Thompson ( TKO 8, Ishimatsu Suzuki ( TKO 10), Esteban De Jesus ( KO 11), Masataka Takayama ( TKO 1), Ray Lampkin ( KO 14), Leoncio Ortiz ( KO 15), Lou Bizarro ( KO 14), Alvaro Rojas ( KO 1), Vilomar Fernandez ( KO 13), Edwin Viruet ( W 15)

    Therefore I consider Roberto Duran a better LW than Sugar Shane Mosley and Mosley a better LW then Oscar De La Hoya. Thank You
