    Who could have beaten Mosley at LW?

    Serious question, if anyone here is familiar with SSM at LW who do you think could have beaten Mosley at 135? Seriously though at 135 he was 31-0 with 29 KOs. He was faster, more natural, fluid, and aggressive. SSM was also the best combo puncher in the biz at that point.

    I want to know who you think would beat him at 135?

      He was a gigantic lightweight. and he was a beast.

      So at the time, no one I can think of.

      But weight trouble and $$$ made him move to a more natural weight class skipping the 140 division.

          I don't know about Duran, but Whittaker would beat ANYONE in history. Duran was great but Mosley was something very special. Whittaker would definitely have been a fun watch. I think that regardless of Whittaker outpointing him it would be a sweet fight to watch. Mosley's speed was just unreal and combo punching phenomenal, I think Duran loses in a great fight on points(though I am young and have not seen to many of his fights).

            You never seen Mosley fight at 135. Your opinion is dismissed.

              I have and I answered your question. I know SSM's power/ speed may have not been matched at 135 but also remember. SSM doesn't have defense, accuracy is OK and he only comes in with a Plan A. Whitaker/ Mayweather would U.D him, Duran could possibly stop him, and JLC could U.D him. I seen JLC and I wouldn't count him out

              Reason why I said possibly

                I would also throw Chavez's name in there. Shanes comp wan't all that impressive at 135, though he was. Canzoneri, Gans, Leonard and Arguello should all be mentioned too.

                  Duran, Whitaker and maybe Leonard, I haven't seen too much of him though so it's hard to say.
