Then who is the best at 154?
There are many guys staying busy at 154 and I would say Mosley is better and call me crazy but Travis Simms is better than Oscar at this point IMO. See the thing with me is that I don't care about the big name but rather what I see in the ring.
Mosley is not fighting anymore at 154. And when he was at 154, his only clear victories in 6 fights there were the 2 wins over Vargas, who is in worse shape that Mayorga.
Travis Simms had not fought in over 2 years until his recent fight with Rivera. He has fought mostly nobodies and his biggest win is against Bronco McKart, who has been beaten by every decent fighter he has ever faced.
Simms has nice speed, good power and skill and is hungry. I consider him more dangerous at this point. That's just my opinion though.
