This made me wonder. Should the Sugar man retire toady, what would your opinion of him be? What are your primary memories and are they fond memories or not?

For me he goes down in history as an ATG Lightweight. This may be a bit much for some people but I feel at 135 he was that good.
I'll always remeber his chin and heart, for a guy who was actually smaller than nearly all of his competition he never was fazed and apart from the Wright and Forrest fights I never saw him beaten decisively.

So.....Thoughts?
If Shane's heart is not in it I would rather see him retire....Mosley is an ATG....Best at LW but ATG in general....He has only really been beaten by 1 man in his prime years and that was Forrest who also could have been great if he was able to mentally recover from the Mayorga beating...IMO he never really did....

As for my memeories of Mosley...all of them good...Shane has always been a true gentleman...a great face for the sport...his speed was fantastic...his power at LW was dangerous....I always said I would have loved to see a prime Mosley at LW go against Mayweather at LW...IMO Mosley not only beats him but KO's him
