This is a ****** thread Roy Jones has far better skills than Mosley. Just a far better fighter in all aspects

That wasn't the question

[Robbie Barrett]

Mosley fought in the more competitive divisions so of course Mosley. If anyone was around when RJJ was active they should remember a streak of 3 or so guys who were a fireman, a police officer & a teacher or something like that as their full time jobs in between getting their asses kicked by RJJ on HBO.

And thats not to say RJJ never fought anyone good. There were some good names RJJ beat Toney, Reggie J, Hill & Bhop among others, but 147 is just deeper & there were more notables to get through at that weight then RJJ's weight.

Lies. Lets look at the some ratings as an example of Jone's cherry picking. He did fight some highly rated fighters but he could have fought a lot more.

1995
Roy Jones Jr.
Nigel Benn
Chris Eubank
Frankie Liles
Vinny Pazienza
Tim Littles
Michael Nunn
Ray Close
Graciano Rocchigiani
Antoine Byrd

He fought Byrd #10, Pazienza #5 and Thornton #Unranked

1996
Roy Jones Jr.
Nigel Benn
Steve Collins
Frankie Liles
Tim Littles
Vinny Pazienza
Bryant Brannon
Henry Wharton
Michael Nunn
Ray Close

He fought Sosa #unranked, Lucas #unranked and Brannon #7, McCallum #6 at LHW.

Sugar Shane fought better competition.

Just curious....

Shane, but RJJ looked better fighting

[b00g13man]

Easily Shane.

Probably Mosley fought more top guys but they both fought many top guys. Prime Jones never lost to the top guys while prime Mosley sometimes did. Jones was a better fighter but I think Mosley fought more top guys. He fought and got beat up by Pacquiao, Mayweather and Canelo when he was close to forty. Win lose or draw Mosley would pretty much fight anybody any time if the money was right.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Shane Mosley without a doubt.

Forrest twice
Oscar twice
Winky twice
Margarito
Floyd
Manny
Cotto

The most correct answer, 135 to 154 was just deeper, and perhaps usually is.
