Im sorry, i love Shane, but the same people who say Oscar was overrated are the same people who credit Shane for being a legend. People blame Oscar for "losing every big fight".

Who did Shane beat? He lost all his big fights. He barely beat Oscar, was on the steroids in the rematch (which he still lost by the way), lost to forrest twice, lost to Winky twice, lost to Floyd, lost to Cotto......I just dont see the logic if people are gonna dog Oscar.

Oscar was the pretty boy that had skills, so everyone hated him (ala Lebron). Shanes biggest win is aginst Margs. People mention, "well he beat Leija, Rivera, Cazallo and what not, but no one cares that Oscar beat Ruelas, Leija, Quartey, Vargas, Genaro Hernandez (though i never saw that fight :< ), Cammacho, ect. Lets be real, Oscar BEAT TITO.

I think yall know where im going with this. I just see so many inconsistencies that its ridiculous. Then again, when your a pretty boy poster child, you have more doubters than people who will respect you for no reason other than they cant stand the fact that one is so popular and sucnessful, so they look for any tiny detail to attack. Floyd has that problem as did Kobe and now Lebron, and Pac.

Me and a buddy were discussing so just thought i share my thoughts.

Oscar was his biggest fight and he won it.

Shane Mosley is a multiple division champion & future hall of famer. Let the haters hate.

Of course, and im not taking anything away from Shane. Im just more of calling out the inconsistencies of the so called unbiased fan base.

Mosley clearly is a LW. That's his best weight, he brtually beat EVERYONE there. Man I even think he'd give Mayweather hell at MAYWEATHERS best weightclass which is LW.
Yes, he lost to some GIANT light middleweights, he fought the best - won some, lost some.
His resume is VERY good, he's no top 50 ATG or maybe you could squeeze him in. He won in the respective class' LW and WW. LWW is still bull**** to me...
