I was almost killed by a car. It is impossible to tell if I was even touched by the car, from that statement, because of our constant stream of colloquialisms.
You are stretching it well to claim Mosely "almost" knocked out Mayweather. He landed one punch, good enough to change Mayweather's footing, is about all that came down to.

Keep in mind, my only REAL point I am trying to make here is Shane looked a hell of a lot better years ago than he does now or recently. Not just a little bit better like Floyd did 10 years ago. Obviously I can't say for certain he Koes Floyd 100%. I did word it like that but I was trying to make a point about how good Shane was in his prime, and I think he was a better WW than Floyd and would have beat him.

Shane was a very gifted fighter.. Great chin, speed and power.. Had good skills but not really great and wasn't the best ring general.. In his younger days at lightweight, he was a monster.. He was in a pretty shallow division, I wish he would have been around in the 80s vs Camacho, Lockridge, chavez or early 2000s with castillo, casamoyer, corrales, Freitas .
Would have loved to seen tszyu-shane at 140 in 97-99, or even at welter after shane had beaten Oscar..
I think the best time that would have made the most financial sense had been after floyd beat Oscar and became a PPv superstar. Mosely was the rival to Oscar, and if no Oscar rematch for floyd, why not fight oscars big name rival.

How good was Mosley overall anyway? I'm guessing not quite all-time great, but still pretty good and skilled among his contemporaries?
