    Who would own Mosley when he was a LW?

    Serious question do you think any fighter in history wouldn't have any trouble with the 135 pound Mosley? I mean there are obviously some fighters that were considered great and had a better resume at 135 but Mosley's natural gifts of power and ridiculous speed a long with his natural athleticism were amazing.
    32-0 30 KOs pretty special record at that weight. Who do you think would beat Mosley at LW pretty soundly and why?

    Don't say Floyd because of the fight that just happened, Floyd performance was masterful but Mosley's chin, power, speed, stamina and reflexes were super rough for any opponent at 135. That Mosley was a combo puncher with power. How would he have dismantled that Mosley which was an offensive dynamo had better stamina and more of a natural smooth rythmic fighter. While Floyd made this Mosley look super bad I think he would have had a very rough time with a young Mosley.

    Who do you think would beat Mosley and who you think would lose?

            duran wouldn't own **** against mosley at lightweight...he'd probably win but he wouldn't own ssm at lightweight. floyd wouldn't own ssm either.

              Duran, Sweet Pea, and Arguello all give him a tough fight....not sure if they own him though

                I always forget about Sweet Pea, man that guy was amazing at light weight, defensively the only fighter who is in his realm is PBF. I wonder how that would have went, Sweet Pea was just so good at making everyone look bad. We all know Mosley couldn't KO Pea and Mosley has a hard time with good defensive fighters but he was far more fluent in light weight.

                  I only think Pea and Floyd could give Mosley trouble at LW, but not sure any of them could beat him though. He was such a beast! Duran would be in trouble.
