    well Castillo has that win over Mayweather that they never awarded him, his lightweight resume is better than Shanes so he certainly shouldn't be written off h2h. However, Shane did seem like a talent tbh, and I think h2h he would have beat Castillo prime for prime, and yes, possibly even Mayweather too. Shane is a very underrated fighter who didnt have a well cared for career.

        he was never as bad as Judah, who would choke past 4 rounds. Mosley had more heart and a better chin.

        Honestly a lot of Mosleys problem was taking such tough fights. Kinda like Holyfield. Kind of like every single oldschool fighter with a ton of losses on their record.

        He got in with too many good names and he wasn't always big enough or young enough.

        I'd say his one flaw was a lack of a real jab, his constantly played the tricky card, but when you run out of tricks what do you do?

            mosely ducked a lot of prime guys himself prime mayorga and trinidad.

            mosely was never a good boxer so i agree about his garbage jab. mosely is a strong guy. but just a brawler.
            people mistake him for a boxer because of the flashy punches he throws

              Pretty amusing coming from you. Maybe you should do a little more research before running your d*ck chompers. Shane fought Mayorga twice, once when they were both prime. Prime Oscar twice, Winky Wright twice, Vargas twice, Cotto, Margarito, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo. All in or close to prime. So please quit with your school girl dramatics.

                  Really? Mayorga was still looking to make the toughest fights at that point in his career and Mosely had only lost to future hall of famers. Mayorga may have been slightly past prime, but it's not Shane's fault they didn't fight any sooner.
