    Yeah but you also have to remember that both Forrest and Wright were alot bigger than him especially Wright. Mosley didn't have any trouble at LW against all styles and hes only lost three times at WW and that was argueably out of his prime against Cotto (I see his prime as the first Oscar fight) and it was still close, it was the wrong gameplan for him. I'm 100% sure if he fought Cotto again he'd knock him out.

    Vernon I think was the totally wrong style and I rank Mosley far ahead of Vernon in total

        he KOed mayorga and vargas w/ it and he nearly tore off margo's head w/ it

          forrest and winky are not slick boxers... just cause they are black doesn't mean they are slick.

          forrest just has too much height and reach for mosley. mosley couldn't get inside and work.

          winky was just too big and even when mosley got inside, he couldn't get around winky's peekaboo guard.

          both guys have excellent jabs. mosley loss to them has nothing to do with "slickness" or "blackness"...

              Wright and Forrest are just plain too big for Mosley. The reach was the big advantages.
