I beieve so too, all KO victories except against DLH. His record would probably be 40-0-39
yea, didnt think of that. he prob would had stop every last one of them
I don't buy this type of argument. Styles make fights. Just because Shane is a greater name than the dudes that's on Floyd's resume, doesn't mean he would have beaten them. And I hate to pull the steroid card, but I find myself putting an asterisk next to some of Shane's fights. I'm a skeptic, and the fact is we don't when he started or stopped using. Two fights that I find difficult for Shane right off the bat is the versions of Diego Corrales (even if Shane was 135) and Zab Judah that Floyd fought.
shane would have destroy zab mentally and physically
This is true. Mosley fought at 139 as an amateur. 135 was never easy for him to make and the move to 147 was necessary.
berto fought his amatuer career at 165. andre ward fought at 178. so just bc shane fought amatuers 4 pounds above where he started of his pro career means nothing.

delahoya and judah did. i don't see the guys mayweather fought besides those guys giving mosley a hard time either. baldomir, hatton, gatti, bruseles, phillip ndou? guys like that would not trouble prime mosley in anyway but then again he wouldn't fight them unless he was tuning up for a real fight.
Chop Chop gave floyd a hell of a scrap, great fight.
Also, against Carlos hernandez they WENT TO WAR, yes WAR, up until
floyd broke his hand and took a knee. at that point he fought the rest
of the fight on his bike.
The list goes on.. anyone who has actually followed floyds career knows he
has been in some serious bangers at the lightweights and put on some exciting fights. We also know he looked ordinary every time he began to brawl with people too, and just looked out of place.
Shane would be 40-0 right now If he had fought floyd resume fighter for fighter. what you think???????????
i agree he prob would be...............the only problem is it would have been helped by PED's. Why SSm started with that shit i don't know......i don't think he ever needed it.
Prime DLH would of beaten Floyd.
Smaller guys all the time?? Is that why he is a 6 division world champ?? lol
You're right he isn't Roy Jones. He actually fought people that weren't policemen.
No he wouldn't have. Prime Delahoya barely beat past prime Pernell Whitaker and Ike Quartey. And neither were on Mayweathers prime level. Many people think Delahoya lost to Whitaker who was no where near his prime. Delahoya never had the skliis to beat a fighter like Mayweather. Never at any point in his career. Especially at 130-35 when Delahoya relied almost exclusively on his left hand. Delahoya had all of the advantages when he fought Mayweather (glove size, gloves, weight)and still came up short.
He may possibly go undefeated, but I don't think he'd win most with margins like a 118-110 or 120-108, like Mayweather did. I mean other than JLC there has never been a fighter that has given Mayweather that much of a hard time.

Oscar would of rapped everyone Floyd has faced too.
This is what's messed up. Lot of greatness is chosen based on who they choose to avoid and get away with it. That's what I see.
Not Corrales. When Oscar fought at 130 he would have lost to Corrales.
I read somewhere that he could only be 135 for a certain amount of time (Can't remember), of course thats the case with most boxers but it wasn't to Mosley's extent. If someone could help me out with that, it was something I read a long time ago.

On top of that.. i dont see floyd beating winky and verno at 154 either.
:lol1::lol1::lol1:
i think mosely did make some questionable decisions in his career. the forrest fights were understandable, but why the hell did he move up to fight winks??that was wayyy to big of a risk, one he didnt have to take. i think that also contributed to him having a more difficult time when he did move back down to welter...that and not having a marquee trainer. nyways, mosely has had one hell of a career, so what he doesnt make as much money as floyd, different careers, different resumes. it aint fair to either to compare the two.
mosley could have been the greatest of all time, a billionaire, and p4p number 1 still if he just didn't risk anything and picked easy fights. floyd is right he is a dummie.

I agree, there's no one on floyd's resume that mosley couldn't beat.
but there several guys that mosley fought that floyd would have problems with if not lose to: Winky, Forrest, and Cotto (and you might be able to put in a prime DLH).
Oscar would have received his first loss if Castillo was at Lightweight when Oscar fought there.
Oscar barely beat a shot-ass Vargas.
Why was Vargas shot when he fought Hoya?
People overrate Vernon Forrest so much. His claim to fame was Shane Mosley.
He struggled with Raul Frank, he struggled with and nearly lost to a way over the hill Ike Quartey. He got vicously ko'd by Ricardo Mayorga... only to be outboxed by Mayorga in a rematch.
Please stop overrating Vernon Forest. Thank you.
First it's not about who Forest had a hard time with that was just as big as him.Its about size and if you think that size would not have Matter I have to qustion if you know what your talking about.What we know about May is a jab gives him trouble Forest had a long jab good movement and a crushing over hand right.May does not have the power to rock Forest like Mayorga did.I see may losing a lopsided UD to Forest which is why he went right to Jr WW and not to WW at the time.
You said Shane was too big to make 130 right?So the guys that fought May at 130 would Move up and get Creamed at lightweight Mosley was the bigger name which means they would move up to fight him get it.Just like Mosley and May moved up for bigger fights.But bottom line is no one on May resume would beat Mosley.Come May 1 you will see why.
This is easy. Mayweather could and would have made it through Pacs resume undefeated. In fact, he could possibly breeze through it, and he'd do so without KO loses to Rustico Torrecampo, and Medgoen Singsurat or a loss to Érik Morales, and without fighting to a draw with Agapito Sánchez and Juan Manuel Márquez.
what? How can you say that after what I said? I dont even get the response
