He was very good and could hang with anyone in history.. Not the greatest ever, but a very good fighter, and if he was around today he would be a huge star and him vs Floyd would be the biggest fight to make..

What weight class was he in 2000? Welter? Junior Welter?
His lightweight reign was dominant but never fought another high caliber fighter at the weight..
His welter reign didn't have much success, 2 or 3 lackluster defenses and then a big fight with Forrest in which mosely was dropped and thourghly beaten by Forrest.. Shane performed better in rematch but still lost a wide decision

mosley in 2000 i believe was what, welter? i forget what year he moved up to fight DLH. he was a lightweight champ for a year or two then moved all the way up to 147 to fight oscar. shane will always be a really good HOF, not an ATG.
mosley is my 2nd all time favorite behind of course the pacman

He had a few fights at welter and established himself as a contender for a welter title, fought oscar in the summer of 00 and won a great fight over oscar.. He was seen as the first guy to clearly beat oscar... At that point he was considered top 5 p4p with many people having him top 3 or 1..

I don't think mosely could make 140 after going to 147.. Without really draining himself.. Shane was a bulky guy
