The legacy of Sugar Shane Mosely.

[Kev]

I really hope Sugar Shane keeps fighting a while longer, he can more than hold his own in the welterweight division.

His performance against Cotto was better than most probably give him credit for, he lost most of the middle rounds but came back strong at the end and as Kellerman said it was Mosely exerting his will over Cotto in those final rounds rather than the other way around.

We should also remember that prior to that fight he knocked out Vargas and whupped Louis Collazo.

He's still got loads to offer, even at this advanced stage.

I'd pick him to beat any weltwerweight outside of Floyd and Cotto. Guys like Margarito, Williams and Quintana Shane would have an excellent chance to beat and that alone makes me hope he stays in the division a while longer.

Bilbo, you are a wise old hobbit. I agree 100%.

while Mosley was an EXCELLENT lightweight he just doesnt have enough good names on his record to be considered an all time great at the weight. and at welter his record was patchy at best,2 losses to Forrest ,a close win over the transves....i mean De La Hoya, a KO of Adrian stone, a loss to Cotto(clear im my opinion) .....i mean its hardly great.
but i always liked Shane,he was a brave guy with a real fighters attitude but what do you think of his drug use nobody mentioned it yet.
i for one think it should count against him.a cheat is a cheat whether we like it or not .
