    He beat the likes of Gonzalez and Hurtado, who were considered to be top fighters in the devision as well as solid guys like Tackie and Urkal

      Mosley fought at 140 twice, both were against nobody's before he was even a lightweight champion.. but if he did fight at 140, Shane probably would have been better than Tszyu.. a lightweight Mosley deserves to be mentioned amongst the likes of Whittaker and Pryor IMO.

        Oops, sorry...I had a brainfart. My bad. For some reason I thought he did what Duran did which was move from 135 to 147 (which is unprecedented) when he fought DelaHoya. I am mistaken.

            It is unproven, he might have been good, but he might have struggled with weight and thus not perform as good.

              KT is definitly very good boxer his life he won Julio Cesar Chavez even though Chavez was out of his prime and won Zab Judah at the 2nd round KO and made him chicken dance tell me which fight did that to any other fighter?

              another thing when he won Sharmba he won him with a KO after the shoulder operation and alway humble and never complains about his loss.

              He is one of the biggest threat to Mayweather jr, Mosely, Veron Forest ( even at pro) and DHL.

              He life and struggle made him what he is and in a computer adaptive fight he won against Mayweather jr 8 out 10 times

                Mosley never fought at 140, at least not while being a champ or former champ. He jumped straight to Welter, but he woulda been better in my opinion

                    But Tszyu beat both of these when either were thought to be the best fighters in the devision.
                    He also dominated against a very good opposition.
                    So he beat a bunch of solid to good fighters, but never really fought anyone on his level in his prime? That doesn't sound all that great to me. Mitchell was especially overrated during the time Tsyzu was injured. He got a ton of credit for beating a string of journeymen. Gonzalez and Tackie were solid fighters, never anything great. His resume just isn't that impressive, honestly...

His best win is over an overrated Zab Judah and a Sharmba Mitchell that isn't that good to begin with. He beat up on an old Julio Cesar Chavez and Jesse James Leija. He had some solid wins, but his career wasn't enough to consider him one of the greats...
                      your saying this, because you dont like hatton or brits..

                      your saying this because you want to dum down hattons win over kosya..
