I don’t see how people can consider Mosley as an ATG. His resume is good but not GREAT. His lightweight run was decent and nothing to behold. He done what needed and that was it,
His best win at WW is Oscar and Maragrito. Also badly beaten twice by Forrest in one sided schooling,
His win over Oscar at 154 doesn’t even count, since he used illegal substances and also was given a gift. Winky also schooled Mosley yet again, reinforcing the idea, Mosley can’t beat skilled boxers. Vargas and Mayorga were both done when they fought Mosley and near were at their highpoint of their careers, respectively
Mosley is a HOFER, but not an ATG

he's definitely belong in Canastota and right now hovering around the borderline of ATGs. He ain't done yet and the end will justify the means.
He's probably undefeated too if he went through Floyd's opponents. He took
greater risks, he fought guys that Floyd would most likely avoid. In essence, he dared to be great.
Mosley was/is extremely talented but lacks the resume at 135, a division rich with history, to be ranked among the greatest ever at that division.
As for his whole career and him being an ATG, since the term ATG is so subjective and different people have different criteria, I won't argue with those who do or do not consider him one.
I wouldn't argue with this. Is he a Hall of Famer? Without question. But an ATG? He'll need another huge victory before we can discuss that. Mosley's lightweight run was impressive but the opposition was underwhelming. No real standouts in his defenses and Phillip Holliday wasn't more than a titlist. But moving up to beat Oscar is impressive and his dominating win over Margarito was equally shocking. Those two wins should carry him to Canastota but I'm not ready to put him in with the very best. Maybe if he can beat the Pacquiao-Mayweather winner and look good doing it?

not disagreeing with you because youre fundamentallly right, mosleys resume is lacking(though its ironic that mayweather is your wet dream)....
just wanted to point out that the second forrest fight was not one sided at all.........7-5 fight......hell, some people actually had mosley winning.....and forrest was clinching like a bitch....hardly a schooling....

i agree as well, he needs a couple big wins still......if he beats berto a fight with both pacquiao and mayweather and beats them, it safe to say he should be at least p4p one of the best, but that's yet to happen
