Chris John has some draws on his record.
Mosley never needed a draw to keep his lightweight titleComment

i disagree. if clottey had more hype he could have been undefeated going into the pac fight. the margarito fight was super close(i scored it a draw) the cotto fight was super close(i scored it for clottey by 1) the baldomir fight was an easy win until he was unfairly dq'd, and he beat judah. he was just as good as the best welterweights in the world he just didn't get the benefit that popular fighters get. judah proved he was not. judah beat spinks but he clearly lost to spinks 1, baldomir, mayweather, cotto, and clottey. he couldn't compete with the best.I don't remember where Mosley was ranked when Cotto fought him, but I do know Mosley was the lineal champion when Floyd fought him. Mosley was coming off one the best performances of his career. Was he a better fighter? I doubt it, but he was ranked at the top of his division.
Many people thought Clottey beat Cotto. But for the record, I put Clottey in the same category as Zab Judah. He was never an elite fighter and always found a way to lose fights.Comment

the ts actually thinks that jabs shouldnt count in hit accuracy percentages so that way manny pacquiao will have a higher connect rate than floyd. he made a whole thread about it. this guy licks pacquiaos nuts to the highest degree and hates on floyd for everything. seriously dont feed this troll.Comment

Cezar Bazan is about as good as anyone Shane Mosley faced at Lightweight.
Atleast Cesar Bazan was not only ranked, but ranked in the Top 5 of his Division at the time.
Something we can't say about many of Mosley's wins at Lightweight.Comment

People just see Mosley record at LW...Which was what 33-0 with 30ko's? Or something like that at LW. So the idea is wow he's amazing. But, they're not looking at who he actually fought and when he fought them.
Castillo resume at LW is greater than Mosley. I don't even like Oscar and his resume is greater than Mosley at LW. Hell some of Mosley best wins at LW were Oscar leftovers.
Mosley didn't even fight the best LW at the time. Which was Stevie Johnston. Mosley didn't fight the best guy. And, that would have been a damn good fight. A tough fight for Mosley IMO.Comment

The fact you have idiot's on this thread talking down to other's whilst in the same breath claiming Shane Mosley was one of the best Lightweight's ever is a joke.
The fact Title Defenses are used to justify idiocy is a joke. And it's becoming increasing to use that reasoning.
I understand not everyone is into the History and prefer to focus on modern times. And that's fine.
I just hate when people make brash, ******, uneducated and ignorant statements concerning the history of the sport when it's obvious they don't know ****.
I'll never understand why people feel the need to make comment's on things they clearly know nothing about. Why bother?
It's disrespectful to the sport.Comment
