    Shane Mosley vs Aaron Pryor

    Who wins, both at there best? I know Pryor was greater, but do you think Sugar's a bad style match up for him, Mosley loves fighters who like to fight and come at him.

      Mosley would have been a monster at 140. I like this matchup for him. One hell of a fight for sure.

        Could Mosley make 140 in Pryor's era? Maybe Shane has a bad style for Pryor but it's hard to pick against a guy who was rarely behind in a fight and won most of them by KO. What a fight it would be though.

          I actually really like this match up (assuming Shane would look good at 140) but I think Pryor wins it but I don't think he stops him i think clear descion.

            Shane is a natural 135 lbers - HIS BEST WEIGHTCLASS. I really only see few if any give him problems there (Duran).

              Mosley had huge problems making weight at 135 and would blow up as soon as the weigh in was over. He could have never made it and been as effective had he had to weigh in the same day. 140 is a much better natural fit whether it be same or day before weigh ins.

                It was his best weightclass, & he proved he could've beaten much better opposition there than he coasted through, but let's not go crazy. It is an almost immeasurable step-up in class from what Mosley fought at 135 to the cream of the crop. Quite reasonably argued, Duran isn't even the #1 LW of all-time.

                  Only 2 people are capable of competing with Duran for the number 1 spot, them being Leonard and Gans, he has just as good an argument as both of them.
