i think they matchup well stylistically. a big puncher with fast hands vs a crafty vet in a 135 JMM. I think these fights would be close wars with mosley knocking down jmm but getting out boxed when he tries to finish him off.

2001 147 Shane beats any version of Marquez imo.
Also...maybe it's just me but..I think Shane overplayed the Pac KD..I think he was looking for a way out..
Shane has taken insane punches throughout his career and kept going. Atg chin. I think the fight plays out similar to floyd vs jmm. Sure different styles but the size/speed/power would be too much in tandem with Shane's skill. JMM gets overwhelmed I feel. Marquez tends to get hurt by the left hook and Shane had a vicious one. Especially the lead left hook.

Shane Mosley wins...this was prime Shane Mosley. We're talking 135 Marquez, the Marquez who fought a FOTY with Juan Diaz and took some punches against Katsidis. Mosley in 1994 at 22 years old was getting used by Julio Cesar Chavez to spar for Meldrick Taylor, footage shows a young, skinny, Shane Mosley getting the best of JCC with his handspeed.
If you want to get more detailed...prime Shane all the way to past prime late 2000s Shane would probably never lose to a guy of Marquez's style, especially not one who he's BIGGER than, much bigger. It's no secret that Mosley's greatest performances came against the best Mexican fighters he's faced, DLH in 2000, Vargas in 2006, Margarito in 2009. Marquez would just end up in that list, and I love JMM. Shane at 5' 9" with his power, speed and reach would beat Marquez at 135 all the way to 147. A bit off topic: Actually, I don't doubt for one second that the CURRENT retired Shane Mosley would all of a sudden look young again against JMM at 147.

jmm's best win at 135 was against diaz, and the guy wasn't really that good. mosley was a beast at 135. he would brutalize jmm into a tko
