The nickname. Can he be compared to Leonard and Robinson? If not, does he not deserve it?

Discuss...

Does he deserve it in what premise?

Anyone can use the moniker if they want to, and it doesn't automatically mean using "sugar" readily attributes them to SRL or SRR.

However, the stigma of the nickname will always be linked to the past ATGs who used it, so the comparison won't be avoided.

Shane Mosley carried the name with pride. He fought EVERYONE, even near his 40's. He beat almost everyone put infront of him, and remember SHANE MOSLEY'S best weightclass were in the LW!!!!!

Yes, he def deserves it. Fights anyone and has a great record. Also known as a KO artist.

Yea, he deserves it. He's a distant third to Robinson and Leonard, but he deserves the moniker.

The guy fought everybody. He beat the **** out of a prime DLH in only his 3rd fight at Welterweight.

He rematched Winky and Vernon after they beat him. He's been in there with Cotto, Mayweather, Collazo, etc...

He destroyed Mayorga, Margarito and Vargas.

He's an ATG imo.

Also, he fights EXACTLY like Sugar Ray Robinson. Obviously not as good, but the resemblance in the ring is crazy. Robinson just had a much better jab.

On courage alone he deserves it. Shane is actually one of my favorites as he seems like a good guy overall, fights anybody and is always going for the KO whenever possible.

I could care less at -600 i just layed 40 down on him,and another 60 on Ortiz over Berto -500.either one pans out and i cash in.

Explain.

I would say they have similar traits but to say they fight exactly the same is slightly puzzling. I think there is a distinct difference in there styles.
