    I think he's a lock for the HOF, not really an ATG but a very, very good fighter nonetheless.

      He never dominated a weight class, but he did have a deserved stint atop the p4p rankings. The only top fighter he ever dominated was Margarito, and that carries an asterisk.

      He got legitimately beat by Winky, Forrest and Cotto. Forrest and Cotto were in his best weight class.

            Mosley ranks higher than Tito and Oscar

            Oscar has A LOT of questionable decisions

              I dont know where i would rank mosley on my atg list but he definitly is up there as one of my favorites to watch.he has fast hands and he is never afraid to let them go. He always in great shape and always a stand up guy. He has beaten and lost to formidable and credible opponents. And if you dont believe that styles make fights take in consideration mosley has knocked out fernando vargas(twice) ricardo mayorga and antonio margarito these are men who hold victories over the men that has handed mosley his losses vernon forrest ronald wright and miguel cotto. Shane mosley definitly one of my favorites of all time.

He was more than surprised. He knew he got a gift. Despite that decision the public definitely knew who the better fighter was.
                  Well if Oscar decided to give the fight away that means the other guy won. It's almost assured in boxing that if you lose your balls in the middle of the fight you're probably gonna lose the fight as well.

                      NO Hall of Fame FOR CHEATERS.

                      I will not let mosely off the hook for this. Too me the only reason he beat Oscar was because he cheated. Imagine How much that win would have done for Oscar career and that lost to Mosely career.
