    Thats what I thought, he could probably beat sturm. Pavlik is too big, Hops hit him at will all night and couldnt stop him so Mosley aint going to be able to.

    There is so much talent and potential big fights at 147 right now that he should stay there. He is too small for 160

    He would make more $ if he participate in 168 tournament.

    I saw an interview with him years ago during a Winky Wright matchup I believe it was Wright Vs Griffin in 2001. Joe Tessitore asked him about fighting Bernard Hopkins and he said that he would ask him to come down to like 156 or 154 or some catchweight because 160 was too big for him and this is when he was the welterweight champion

    No way can Mosley handle 160, 154 again maybe but not 160.

    Everybody except you seems to know excactly what would happen to Shane when this freaking beast came after him. Pound for pound Mosely is one of the best fighters on the planet, but he ain't handlin' this ****.

    Don't get Pavlik overexcited now. :lol:

    Mosley moved down from 154 because he didn't belong there going to 160 is foolish especially at 37. Don't get overexcited with the Margarito victory, it's a great victory but many here have told the idiots that Margarito is a one-dimensional, zero skill, zero movement, zero speed tomato can quality fighter who needs concrete in his gloves to call out/compete and lose to guys half his size. Mosley is an all-time favorite of mine and the reason, right next to Tyson, I'm a boxing fan and I wouldn't like to see him move up and lose to someone like Pavlik based on size even though Pavlik isn't THAT better than Margarito.

    It all comes down to stamina, if Mosley can keep it up for 12 he can beat him. Though at 37 it's hard to believe he could especially two divisions above. Hey man, the Hopkins ass whopping proved that this guy can be beat against someone with skill/movement. Actually the Jermain Taylor rematch showed it and Hopkins confirmed it.
