    See Mosley vs. DLH 1. His stiff jab was giving DLH lower back pain, he complained about it in the fight. If Mosley was brought up to be a great boxer he would have been something. I still think him vs Mayweather at LW would have been amazing. I think Mosley has a shot at Mayweather at LW where he was stronger with better reflexes and fluent combos, it would be hard for any fighter in the LW division in history to beat Mosley at 135. His chin and offense were legendary, 32-0 30 KOs that is unheard of at LW.

      Must have been a mistake, Mosley has a longer reach than Floyd.

        He's a fighter, not a boxer..

        He didn't need to out-box fighters at 135..

            But it came to haunt him when he fought bigger opponents like Winky and Forrest

              Bully gets it.

              Shane grew up going against Mexican fighters.

              When Shane was 16 (or whatever) he was sparring with Julio Cesar Chavez.



              Floyd was sparring with Pernell Whitaker.

                thats what I thought too. But according to the tale of the tape its otherwise. But I agree, I think it was a typo.

                      That was the second fight, DLH should have got the nod in the second fight but he lost the first pretty clearly for a lot us fans. Even those with favoritism I was with all agreed that Mosley won that fight.
