Mosley/Mayweather Legacy

[SPREAD]

Mayweather definetley has the better skill set and record but names to add to his legacy is what he lacks

Mosley fought:
Vargas-twice and won(light middle)
De La Hoya-twice and won
Callazo-who gave berto problems
Margarito-Most feared fighter in the world pound for pound at the time
Mayorga-just plain awkward

Ok he lost to Forrest twice but he would have given mayweather problems, Winky is a fight shane shouldn't of taken and did and would also be a style nightmare as hes bigger and a southpaw and cotto who floyd hasn't ever considered and had his best night against a slightly jaded mosley

Don't think Gatti, Baldimor, judah, hatton and marquez(at 147) compare to the names mosley has fought

ODH and Mosley i give full credit for and the corrales victory when he was a genuine super featherweight a victory against pacquao would change this fact i feel? Anyone agree disagree? No floyd hating

[infamous larryx]

mosleys only good wins are oscar and margo..vargas was shot to **** when he fought mosley..mayorga was way past prime..collazo was a decent win..but collazo never beat anyone worth mentioning

floyds resume>>>>>mosleys resume

castillo
corrales
hatton
judah
hernendez
jesus chavez
plus mosley..lol

not even close

add in the fact that mosley admittly cheated in the 2nd oscar fight

You dont get credit for fighting people.

You get credit for beating them.

Mosley resume < Floyds Resume

Mosley resume < Floyds Resume

Margo big with mexicans
Cotto huge following, big name
Any boxing fans knows Vargas

Hernandez baldimor chavez mitchell nobody's

low risk no names to be fair this was when floyd didn't fight for huge money and belts instead

[Thread Stealer]

Mayweather has the better overall resume of wins.
Mosley has the best single win among the two (1st DLH fight).
Mosley has the better resume of opposition fought.

[ßringer]

Mayweather has a better overall record of opposition fought, but Mosley definitely has the better quality of opposition fought.

Both are similar in the regard that they both blazed a trail of dominance from Lightweight all the way up to Welterweight, and continued to dominate opponets there.

But what seperated the two IMO is the fact that once they both got to Welterweight ; Mosley took on the tougher challenges.

I'm not saying Mosley's record of opposition at 147 is stellar, because I don't believe it is ; but it's certainly far better than Mayweather's.

Prime De La Hoya, Rivera, Collazo, Cotto, and Margarito > Baldomir, Judah, Mitchell, Hatton, Marquez.

Floyd's overall record looks better (what with all the "big" names, and the undefeated streak), but Mosley's record of competition is tougher.

Mayweather will be ranked above Mosley in the history books.

good post i agree 100% mosley fought the tougher comp but mayweather goes down in history as the better fighter

Floyd fought most of career at Top Rank. They're great matchmakers. Mosley is my boy just like Floyd. But I will never in my life understand why he fought Winky or Santa Cruz over Zab or Margo. Wish he got a belt at 140 against Tszyu, Mitchell, or Vince phillips instead of fighting John Brown, because he was ducked hard by Stevie Johnston
