Usually I'll mention the punchers chance, but againstthe Iron jaw of Mosely I'll discount even that vague hope.
Mosley dismantles Mayorga, but perhaps over a longer period than say Oscar.

Hold on!!!!

If we look at bothe these fighters when they were on top of their game, Mayorga proved to have the better chin by taking the best Forrest had to offer and giving him free shots.

He also proved he had the bigger power by knocking Forrest out

Even at this stage of their careers I say Mayorga is too much of an animal for Shane to live with.

Yeah Mayorga has cashed in on a couple of fights against De La Hoya and Trinidad but I see him doing much better against Mosely

No one can complain about Mayorga fighting a name, he brings a good scrap with him.

Him and In Jin Chi are a couple of the only fighters that I find exciting, wading in with punches taking everything thrown at em
Style's make fights.

From the amateur days it was established that Forrest's style was ideal for defeating Mosley. That in addition to Shane's rush from Lightweight to the more marketable weights meant his loss was pretty convincing.
Since those days Shane has matured and doesn't rely on his power as much.

You almost support my point here with your advocation of Oscar's win over Mayorga.

Couldn't I also argue the point that Shane bettered Oscar Twice and therefore will beat Mayorga?
Or that Shane stopped Vargas twice when mayorga was drawn into a rugged brawl with the fatman?

Mayorga is entertaining, but he's C level.
