    Is Mosley a True Sugar?

    Not sure by what your question means...

    But Sugar Ray Leonard was beaten quite bad by Terrible Terry Norris in the twilight of his career (like how Mosley got beaten by Floyd) and still was Sugar.

    No matter what, Shane's still and will always be Sugar to me.

    Besides, it's the sweet science.

      It's a nickname, nothing more. Doesn't mean he needs to live up to Ray Leonard or Ray Robinson. There were plenty of other "Sugar's", like Sugar Ramos, George Costner and Sugar Ray Seales.

        If Mosley could box as well as he can fight he may have been as good as SRL & SRR. When I say true Sugar I'm talking about the mental game, the sweet sciene no doubt.

              in comparison to the other two then no, im afraid not. Had he won last night then most definitely, that fight (for him) was TO BE the 3rd sugar.

                Well Leonard and Robinson were both top 15 all time greats or higher in every list you see compiled out there.

                Mosley would make a Top 100 but not much better.

                  i think that sums it up. The title of Sugar was on the line for Shane last night.
