    I dont think he would make it to the hall of fame. What has he really done at lightweight he was real good and looked like he had potential to make it to the hall but he never really beat anyone really meaningful there. And after lightweight all he really did was beat De La hoya once.

        hes only beaten 1 very good fighter 1 time and won a extremely controversial decision vs De La Hoya the second. If Mosley belongs in hall, you can make a argument For Junior Jones in hall because he beat Barrera twice, a hall of famer

          I dont think Mosley is a sure hall of fame candidate yet

            As much as I love the guy (my favorite fighter) he has fallen in love with his power and moving up was his first mistake. His second mistake is moving back down. Hopefully he regains his amazing hand speed in the lower divisions and makes a mark on the 140 lb division although I don't think he will because he already had a tough time with Estrada...I'm just hoping the guy doesn't make ANY more ****** decisions, he's already made MANY (fighting Forrest only 6 months after his first loss), not having ANY tuneups for any of his losses. His losses are all against taller guys and it shows that the way you beat Sugar Shane is by jabbing.

                    THE TRUTH, this seems like a ****** question to some, who would you consider greater, Vernon(36-2) http://boxrec.com/record009047.html
                    Or Mosley(40-4) http://boxrec.com/record004952.html

                      Mosley because of his wins over Oscar and the reputation he built...but neither are hall of famers.
