Ok I certainly didn't want to turn this thread into a doping conversation, but i have to take issue with this.
Mosley nearing forty years of age, fought the most technically accomplished fighter of our generation and went the distance. Along the way he managed to rock Mayweather and although he was never active enough. I wouldn't deem that a "shite" performance.
Additionally, Shane Mosley was accused of HGH use for the De la Hoya fight only. Having competed at world title level for so so many years that is the only fight in which anything suspect was detected. That does not mean that Mosley was not tested on numerous occasions throughout his career. Given that he was involved with Balco and finally admitted to having used the Cream and the Clear, it would be foolish to think that Mosley was not more stringently tested before and after all of his fights following the scandal.
Mayorga was a relatively recent fight. That merely means that the fight took place having benefited from the lastest of testing methods which are more sensitive to supplements, performance enhancing chemicals and hormone levels. It is safe to say whatever occurred in the past, Shane Mosley was an aged fighter whose body was clean for the Mayorga fight.
And he still stopped Mayorga hard.
