| CompuBox Review: Mosley Dominated as a Lightweight

[QUOTE=IronDanHamza]Agree whole heartedly.
Mosley only looked so dominant because his opposition was so pityful.
I mean, if he fought every ranked contender he would still have dominated most of them. But, he only fought like 1 or 2 ranked fighters. What do you expect?

[QUOTE=Paclan]Mosley was a beast at lightweight but for some reason he became sloppy as hell when he moved up in weight. He stopped focusing on anything except landing his right hand and his jab turned into a lazy, useless pillow punch.
