But the fact is, A-level fighters lose to A-level fighters all the time, it doesn't in itself mean that the guy who lost was not A-level and was "exposed". I think a guy who unfairly gets that criticism is Prince Naseem, who was a world champ at featherweight for 7 or 8 years before losing to MAB. I never understood why losing to one of the greatest fighters in boxing history meant you were "exposed".
Shane Mosley is an all time great, I don't see why he was "exposed" because Forrest and Winky Wright had his number.
