Why is Shane Mosley so highly rated?

[AztecWanker]

He was a beast at LW but ever since he moved up to WW, he's been mediocre.

His best win is Oscar De La Hoya (13 years ago). Good win and somehow catapulted him to P4P #1.

Then loses to Vernon Forrest x2. Beats shot Vargas 2x. Loses to Winky x2. Shoulda lost to the Oscar rematch. Beats mid-tier guys like Collazo (good win IMO), Estrada, etc.

Then lets Cotto squeak by him then looks like ass vs shot Mayorga.

Then has his best win since Oscar, an already beaten fighter in Margarito. Shane is really lucky Margarito came in mentally fucked from what happened in the locker room.

Then it's all downhill from there. He was already gonna be used as a stepping stone for Berto, had a full training camp, then Floyd steps in, has another training camp and looks like ass. Has a TERRIBLE fight vs Sergio fkn Mora, looks like ass vs Pac and Canelo.

I don't see how this guy is so great above LW. He lost every single top fight he had. Oh, and he's a proven cheater.

Discuss, gentlemen.

He was beast at Lightweight against 95% unranked bums.

IDK much about his LW resume tbh. If this is true, then LOL.

One last thing...this is Miguel Cotto's best win. In a fight where he won by a round, in MSQ.

It's true, alright.

The only ranked fighter he beat at Lightweight was Philip Holiday and he didn't look good at all in that fight in comparison to when he was knocking out unknown, unranked fighters in 3 or 4 rounds.

To be honest...i dont know when you look at his resume it isnt great at all

Damn, you must really dislike ginger then.

Who "highly rates" him? Top 50? Top 75? Top 100?

I don't think I've ever seen Shane Mosley appear on a top 100 list.

To his credit, that was past-prime Margarito. Prime Margarito was avoided by everyone and they momma, except Cintron ironically.

He's a bum.
