I agree with this.

The calendar shown in evidence "suggested" that Mosley began and finished the banned drugs in 12 days from end July to 1st week August. He was never charged nor suspended, for which the Commission must have had a reason, probably that he tested clear.

As a lightweight, he had 8 defences all won by KO; Mayweather had 3 with 1 by KO.

Considering that Gatti was a 1st round winner, Mosley should make it easily depending on what other entrants there will be.....

he did not fail a test, sir. but i'm guessing your question is rhetorical and that you know the story already.

Definitely aware of the story. I just think of the Oscar rematch a no-contest. Since most felt he lost it anyways.

We may not always agree but you nailed it with this post. This is what the HOF to me has been downgraded to.
