Going back to the original question.
Yes Mosley is still a huge threat to anyone who steps in the ring with him.
Mosley was always a bit too small for 154 and he still did a damn good job there if you ask me. I did think the first fight with Vargaz was closer than some have said here. But you gotta remember that Vargaz, even that Vargaz, was really strong and could manhandle and over power most at 154. He was giving DLH a real tough fight in the first half and looked to be too strong for Oscar untill Oscar stepped it up and took control of the fight.
Vargaz is very much underrated after his loss to Tito. He has only lossed to the very best (Trinidad, De la Hoya and Mosley) and was going into the fight with 4 straight wins including a UD over Javier Castillejo who only last year KOed Sturm for a MW title. I know this is not really that impressive but the point is Vargaz was still a top fighter when he fought Mosley.
I also don't think anyone was overrating Collazo. He is a fast slick boxer who had just given Ricky Hatton, the universally recognized Undisputed 140lb champ, the toughest fight of his career. Mosley was just the better man and showed his quickness is back as a 147lber.
With that said....I don't want nobody talking no sh*t when my boy Cotto smacks that a**
