    Oscar EASILY.

    Mosley doesn't really have great boxing skills. He has a sorry excuse for a jab, he's not exactly a counter puncher, his footwork is inconsistent.

    Mosley got where he has by god given athleticism, and the ability to take an incredible punch. He is the definition of a speedy slugger.

            wow......:







            Boxer "Sugar" Shane Mosley testified in 2003 that he injected himself with the notorious doping agent EPO as he prepared for his light-middleweight title fight against Oscar De La Hoya, according to grand jury transcripts and doping calendars reviewed by the Daily News.

            The Mosley transcripts are part of a massive BALCO file that was under a protective order from March of 2004 until last week, when U.S District Court Judge Susan Illston vacated the order at the request of prosecutors who are preparing for the March 2 trial of Barry Bonds on perjury charges.

            In the testimony, recorded on Dec. 11, 2003, at the federal courthouse in San Francisco, Mosley also said that BALCO founder Victor Conte explained in detail how the drug was used and what its effects would be, including the potential harmful effects of the highly-regulated endurance booster. Mosley has admitted publicly and under oath that he used steroids and EPO, but has denied knowing that the drugs were banned or illegal.

            When asked if he had gotten EPO from Conte, Mosley replied: "Yes, the hematocrit."

            "And that's something you actually inject into yourself?" he was asked by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeff Nedrow.

            "I think it's right by your stomach, yes," Mosley said, indicating where the drug is often injected.

              I honestly believe Shane can box, I think he has tremendous boxing skills, but that is not his style... he like to brawl, stay flat footed...

              So style wise I guess I go with Oscar, he was a better harder jad, due to the fact that his lead hand is his strong hand... he likes to move and use the ring.... he also like to be on his toes and be bouncing and popping the jab... I event think he had better foot speed than Shane but Shane has quicker hands...

              This is actually a very good question...

                Doesn't mean the right person won. I forget which fight I thought DLH won vs Mosley, but I do think he won one. Just like I thought DLH beat Felix.
