    Look at Tyson, dude was trash by the time he fought Lewis but it was really easy to get action in that no contest.
    Shane is a great, he's just not as great as some think.

    BTW while Shane did face terrible competition prior to his title fight(like making Wilder appear brave bad) he got it faster than the 6 years I suggested. Not sure how I remembered that wrong

    Sugar Shane had the guts and testicular fortitude to fight the top prime fighters at their best... unlike Floyd's cherry-picking from 2003 till 2011. Hatton's the sole top prime guy that Floyd fought in that entire time.

    Diego Corrales was not in his prime?

    He was but so was Casamajor and Frietas and the fights never happened, as well as Cotto and Kostya.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I thought Mosley did enough to win the fight they had when he was 35 years old. I think if he was the same Mosley that fought Oscar he blow Cotto out of the water. I mean Mosley was pretty damn good fighter just not as good as the other sugars like Ray Leonard and the goat.

    Mosley has had like one great performance in his entire career against a fighter of hoya's level... what else has he done? It was one of those once in a lifetime performances for him so I dont think its practical to gauge a cotto fight off that night against oscar...

    You are too generous lol.. mosley and leonard dont belong in the same sentence bruh.. mosley couldnt qualify to be leonard's sparring partner.

    Mosley is a borderline HOFer imo...

    Mosley has been champion at 135, 147 and 154 and he was not paper champion he was considered the man of the division when he had the belt. He has wins over Oscar, Vargas, Moyorga, Margarito, Molina, Lieja, Collazo and Holiday which is not to bad. He lost to Forrest and Wright in his prime and they were pretty big compared to him. He is a hof not a borderline, and as for his fight with Cotto that could of gone either way and that was a Mosley at 35 not a prime one. I mention Leonard because of the names my friend i am well aware that Leonard was a better fighter and is a top 10 atg.
