    Everything good but Shane Mosley. Don't think he deserves to be up there. Certainly the 80's welters could go up there before he does (Breland, Starling, Curry). I'd put Margarito up there ahead of Shane too.

          Mickey Walker, Jack Britton and Ted Lewis deserves mentioning.

            Yeah, Mosley lost twice to Forrest at 147, and then later in his career lost to Miguel Cotto.

            Both he and Oscar hold one significant win at welter, unless you count Oscar's controversial win over a faded Whitaker. I'd place Donald Curry above both.

                  Margarito? He hasn't done anything other than beat Cintron who's most credible fight was losing to Margarito twice. Shane deserves to be up there more than Breland, Starling and Margarito not Curry though.

                    I don't think Shane is higher than Margarito who has beaten more contenders and champs at ww than Shane. Cintron, Lewis, Clottey, Cotto? Yeah, that trumps one Oscar.
