      Don't know honestly. However had they had fought, I'm sure it would of been close. A fight between a good Oscar and Shane would always be close.

        Obviously we have to look at both 154 and 147, but in the case they fought at 154, who do you got between today's Mosley vs 2007's Oscar?

          IDK, maybe Shane would edge it with Richardson 7-5, 8-4. Floyd's Oscar would beat Cotto's Shane though.

            I think Mosley today is better than the 2007 Oscar. The thing about Oscar by that time was he wasn't anywhere near as active as he used to be and was becoming the "businessman" Oscar as Oscar "the fighter" was dwindling down slowly. Mosley, though hasn't fought since Jan '09, still constantly trains so he's more than likely in better physical condition than Oscar was at that point, along with Mosley still having a good amount of speed and still packing a lot of power.

            If both versions of those guys fought now, I'd ride with Mosley.

              tough call. Oscar was in that fight v floyd going int the last 4 rounds but he could never put his foot on the gas when it mattered. No way should he have won on one scorecard, but he was right in it. If Mosley does as well I'll be mildly surprised.

                Hmmmm, I could see Oscar catching Cotto with a left hook and definitely hurting him, but I think Cotto's confidence level at that point really helped him a lot more than people give him credit for. You also have to take into account the size of where Cotto vs Oscar would've happened.

                Definitely a fight I would've liked to have seen, but ah well...close fight to me though at that stage of Cotto's career.

                  Oscar was able to cut the ring off against Mayweather. Mosley couldn't cut the ring off against Cotto. I believe thats something to think about. So obviously, Oscar had the better legs.

                    They're even imo.

                    34 year old DLH at 154 is at least healthy. 147 Mosley claims to feel more powerful and faster at 147. Floyd fought/is fighting both of them at their healthiest. A healthy 34 year old DLH would have given problems To the Mosley of now imo.
