    At lightweight, eight title defenses, all by KO. Including impressive wins over JJ Leija and John Molina. His win over DLH was super impressive, and he was in almost everyone's top 3 P4P at the time. With guys like Willard, Ingo, and Jose Torres in the HOF, Mosley should be a cinch. Even without the East coast bias.
    Leija and Molina are journeymen. They have lost to EVERYBODY.

    Shane has a close win over Oscar nd a controversial win. Shane has a brief stint atop P4P. So did Donald Curry.

    You have to look at guys' candidacy against fighters of their OWN era. I can easily name TEN guys in Shane's era more deserving.

      More people than expected have stated he doesn't deserve induction.

      I added a poll.

        we have no idea who is legit and who is not legit these days! or what members that have already been inducted used or did not use steroids! make no mistake about it, many guys now currently and in the past are and were juiced up in all sports. so just remember that making statements about such you must be prepared to stick to your guns if more dudes get busted. namely any of your personal favorites. picking is not an option here. if a guy is busted thats it. same treatment across the board. no favorites here. who knows where this **** is gonna go? they may strip previous hof'ers and champs. the point is i think nothing will ever happen to these people who used! if the numbers are as high as they seem this is a huge can of worms, and we all know that $ rules all, and it will get shot down! they will eventually just sweep this **** under the rug because they will end up busting so many people that it would destroy sports.

            Molina and Leija are quality former world champions who still had good wins after they fought Mosley. Shane destroyed them. Molina had given Oscar one of his toughest fights.

            Go ahead and name TEN guys who you think are more worthy. It still doesn't prove that Mosley isn't worthy.

                I think Melly-Mel nailed it. There's a mythical list of All Time Greats. These are boxers that go down in puglistic lore as the giants of the sport. Who were some of the best athletes to ever lace up and climb into a ring. Every 'ATG' is automatically in the hall of fame.

                Every hall of fame inductee is not, however, an all time great. Technically, a limited fighter could fight hard enough to defend his title for a decade- against every mandatory in exsistence and deserve to be in the hall of fame but is by no means an ATG. Shane Mosley an ATG? Probably not...but he's done enough, I think, to sc**** into the HoF.
