    The question that is the mosley- Hoya fights

    So in hoya Shane one, it was a beautiful display of fisticuffs. This is the win that boosted Mosley into the pound for pound number one spot. It was the fight of the year tied with Vargas Trinidad which was more violent.

    My thoughts from the fight: obviously both guys held their own but is Mosley who made the adjustments in the judges eyes. They looked similiar in muscle mass except Oscar had a huge back compared to Shane. That piston like Oscar jab was breaking Shane's back. He kept complaining about it in the corner. That's all I remember...

    Then in the second fight Oscar was coming off of a real high against Vargas. But the thing is he pulled that Trinidad Shyte again: running and shoeshining. both fights were awful close, but I think the second one could've went either way. Same as the first one depends what you're watching. It's not outlandish matter of fact. Then there was Oscar with that "I'm gonna put a full investigation on this fight." Mosley part two.

    When you look at both fighters who outslugged who in the first fight? Who outboxed who in the second fight?

    These guys fought a whirlwind of who's who in the boxing game.

    Shane Mosley clearly won the first fight. He took over and essentially swept the last half of the fight after it was close early.

    The second fight was incredibly close and it was fair to score it 115-113 either way or a draw. The general public seemed to think De La Hoya won and HBO seemed to think De La Hoya won. The judges thought Mosley won.

      Mosley was caught with steroids in the first one and clearly got a gift in the rematch

        Both fights were close but Mosley clearly edged it out the first time.

        Rematch Is hazy because I was drunk off my mind and was busy talking to girls but I remember Oscar making good adjustments and working off the jabs. His jabs were on point and his straight right hands were landing alot.

        Oscar had the activity but Mosley scored the big shots and very few. I thought Oscar won.

          Oscar made me a fan in the first fight, I thought he won.
