      He is overrated as a welterweight and a junior middleweight. I think he would be better fit at a much lower weight. He could of ruled the 140 and 135 divisions.

        "Sugar" is a nickname for some of the best fighters in boxing history. "Sweet-n-low" or "Equal" maybe but he's definately not "Sugar".

          Shane is overrated as a welterweight but not as a lightweight. Sure he'd do much better at 135 to 140, but it's obvious that he's not so effective at 147 and up. He should just go back to 140/147 if he still wants to dominate the sport or he may just retire after suffering another one sided loss to Winky.

            Shane actually lost his second encounter with DLH. And from that point on, we could already see that he doesn't belong at 154. Same case with DLH against Sturm.

              Shane aint really overrated but he just moved up to far. If he would have just stayed at 140 and waited he would have had many big payday's. At 140 he was the perfect boxing machine. He had great speed, great power and was one of the best offensive fighters ever. I fhe was still their he would kill everyone in the division to include KT and probably PBF due to the power advantage he would have. Go back and watch some of his fights at 140 if you think he is or was overrated and then you will see how good he was. Hell the guy had 39 KO's in 41 fights before he lost to Forest.That is pretty darn good no matter who you are.

                that's very questionnable: he beat dlh fair and square the 1st time, and the 2nd time it was close but I think he won it too.
                But he's now too small for Jr Middle and I'am afraid he's gonna loose again next saturday and hang it up
                5 years ago he WAS GREAT a prizefighter!!

                  mosley was a monser @ lghtwt, i think he should have stuck closer to 140 than anything else he's too little to be ****ing w/ guys weighing 154 + pounds,have always liked mosley would love to see him beat winky, but don't think it will happen, another loss and i think he's done
