    of their first fight? or would he be in the same exact position he is in today? IMO the fight could have been easily stopped in the 2nd negating a rematch which would lead to a bad mental game in the ring preventing him from ever being considered elite. Or who knows, maybe he woulda just had one less loss on his record by receiving the rematch since Forrest was pretty much Mosley's "kryptonite"

    Idk so what do you guys think?

    Mosley was already considered elite at the time. Hell, he was vying for P4P #1 with Jones at the time of that fight.

    No.

    I would have stopped the fight in 2nd round if I was the referee.

    I think the block of losses affected him just as bad as a second round ko would have, maybe worse.

    It matters how he fought other guys. If Delahoya knocked him out in 2 rounds then it would have affected Mosley's career because it was a fellow HOF fighter. But Forrest would have been seen as a guy who had his number.
