He was very good and could hang with anyone in history.. Not the greatest ever, but a very good fighter, and if he was around today he would be a huge star and him vs Floyd would be the biggest fight to make..

Shane moved up from lightweight to welter in 99.. He totally skipped 140.. He had a few fights at welter and established himself as a contender for a welter title, fought oscar in the summer of 00 and won a great fight over oscar.. He was seen as the first guy to clearly beat oscar... At that point he was considered top 5 p4p with many people having him top 3 or 1..

His lightweight reign was dominant but never fought another high caliber fighter at the weight..
His welter reign didn't have much success, 2 or 3 lackluster defenses and then a big fight with Forrest in which mosely was dropped and thourghly beaten by Forrest.. Shane performed better in rematch but still lost a wide decision

mosley in 2000 i believe was what, welter? i forget what year he moved up to fight DLH. he was a lightweight champ for a year or two then moved all the way up to 147 to fight oscar. shane will always be a really good HOF, not an ATG.

mosley is my 2nd all time favorite behind of course the pacman

good stuff SAA.. i allways was under the impression shane shouldve went to 140 after beating oscar the 1st time, i dont think any world beater was at 140. he couldve been champ at 140 easily and would be a feather in his cap to be a 4 division champ

Prime Kosta tszyu was at 140 and so was prime Judah,,,
I don't think mosely could make 140 after going to 147.. Without really draining himself.. Shane was a bulky guy
