Why did Mosley not fight at Light Welter?

He should have gone down to 140 because he was very fast at 135, but going up and down in weight isn't a good thing for boxers.

i wonder if he regrets it now. I respect Mosley as a fighter, but that's the only fight i think he didn't earn.

Cause the first fight was so good he stuck around to get a rematch. He also moved up to 154 and did some questionable things for that rematch. i wonder if he regrets it now.

but why didnt he step down after oscar? its a title in another weight which is a huge thing Cause the first fight was so good he stuck around to get a rematch. He also moved up to 154 and did some questionable things for that rematch.

Oscar De La Hoya offered him a lot of money to fight him at 147. Correct, He was searching for a big money fight against DLH. Kind of the same reason Pac and May jump up the weightclasses as well.

I know he has campaigned at 135, 147 and 154 but not at 140.. Anyone know why? Surely at some point he was at 147 when he was younger he could have went down to 140 and picked up a title.. Why go straight from 135-147? Oscar De La Hoya offered him a lot of money to fight him at 147.
