Prime Mosley - Prime Cotto

[Master]

Mosley at lightweight was awesome and if he fought a prime Cotto at light-welter he would have beat him in a classic. Shane was the better welterweight and light middle too.

I am not going into how great Shane was or wasn't...but there is absolutely no way Mosley was still in his prime when he fought Cotto or Margo. He still gave Cotto a very tough fight. As some others have mentioned...his prime was without question when he dominated lightweight (the only exception was his performance going up against Oscar...but the drug cloud hangs over that).

I hope none of u put Mosley on that ATG status cuz he sure aint.

All depends on what weight... Mosely has the punch and chin of a HW. If at Jr. Welter and Welter I would have to give the edge to Mosely. But if at Middle and Jr. Middle I would have to give the edge to Cotto...

Mosley wins. Cotto is very good, but Mosley was great.

Cotto barely barely beat Mosely when he was getting past his prime.

Not quite. Great as in hall of famer.

For me it goes:
Contender
Titlist
Champion
Great/Hall of famer
Legend/ ATG
GOAT/Roy Jones

I think you could argue Shane was an ATG at lightweight.
