MOSLEY: I just don't get it.

[ferocity]

First off, I have respect for Mosley but here comes the downside. I hear talk not only from sites but from others as well that Mosley is simply incredible. I do not doubt his abilities but I do find his fights suspect in terms of proclaiming his greatness.

His run at 135 was awesome, He went undefeated. However, who and can you name those guys he beat ? The only legit guy was Phillip Holiday. He then went up to 147 and beat Oscar by decision, which he rightfully deserved. After the Oscar fight, who did he defeat to be considered elite or all time great.

His 135 reign was marred by weak competition and not fighting Stevie Johnston. His Ko's were against limited comp. and that is why his record shines at 135. His fame and his rep is based on the 1st Oscar fight. If he had atayed at 135 possibly he would go down as one of the best at that weight. However, he went up in weight as have others and has failed.
He lost against Winky, Forrest and Oscar on Steroids.


I welcome the abuse for this, as I was abused as a child.

Mosley chased the money. Like Most fighters.

For a few years at lightweight Moesly would always talk about Delahoya and try and grin and smile like Delahoya, it was so ****en fake.

Not sure what his best win is at lightweight. But he was and has been over rated.

There is nothing fake about Shane Mosley. He is exactly what he appears to be on television. I couldn't say the same thing about Oscar De La Hoya.

Show me on Boxrec or any other record where Mosley has lost against Oscar?

Tuggers, Mosley has 2 wins over Oscar on paper. 1st fight he won legit, 2nd fight he lost but got the decesion which even shocked Mosley. Apart from being a controversial scoring in favor of Mosley, the accusation of steroids really diminishes his "win"

Mosley is legit, no doubt about it, but not even close to be called all time great.
