      If it wasn't for his resume at 135 which isn't even really all that good outside of the longevity, he'd only be a borderline hall of famer. The only great HOF caliber fighter he beat was Oscar in the first fight and he didn't even dominate him. You can't look at Mosley's career and say he has a dominant win over an A-level fighter and really I think he's below a whole slew of guys in greatness who are part of his era. Fought great fighters, but lost to most of them except Oscar as I just mentioned.

          He's most well known for beating Oscar, which he didn't do that great against really, and he was on steroids at the time too. I don't think he deserves it. I'll give him credit for giving Margarito a good beating though.

            No way.

            I'd rank him an ATG LW based on potential but he never stuck around long enough to do anything serious there.

              If by ATG you mean like in the list of 20 or so greatest boxers then , no. If you mean in the list of top 100 or so best boxers, I'd say yeah probably. His last 2 performances have been subpar but I take in account his age now.

                I personally say no, but I think he is a sure fire first ballot HOF'er.

                  No way. He lost all his big fights ala De La Hoya. He lost against Forrest, Wright and even Cotto. His best wins is DLH 1, Margarito, and Vargas. Not an ATG resume.

                      Dude, outside of his fight with Margarito and maybe Collazo, he's looked subpar since the Forrest fights.
