    Mosley never backed down from anyone and only lost to the best. He is a classy guy who never talks smack, he just does what he does. I say top 20 of alltime.

          He's an ATG with an asterisk. Which ought to keep him out of the HOF.

            Ex,

            ATG?! really?

            Where do you have him ranked? Top 25? Top 50? Top 100?

            Do you rank him DEFINITIVELY above these guys of his generation (ish):

            Whitaker
            Jones, Jr
            Holyfield
            Hopkins
            Chavez
            Mayweather
            Barrera
            Morales
            Pacquiao
            Lewis
            Chavez
            Wright
            Etc...

            Can a guy be an ALL TIME great if he isn't in the top 15 of his own era?

              I've have liked a 'maybe not yet' option. He needs a couple more quality wins IMHO. It all depends how broadly you define ATG.

                      I wouldn't go as far as top 50 but top 100 certainly.
