People said Mayorga was super shot after the Trinidad fight, but around the same time Mosley was fighting Vargas, the first fight was really close, and going in Vargas' favor except that he had bad swelling which rendered him unable to defend himself against the right hand, and the ref stopped it. In the second fight Vargas was terribly weight drained, and looked like a zombie as him and Mosley both looked ineffective until Mosley landed a huge left hook, but he didn't dominate the rounds leading up to the KO anywhere near to the degree Oscar did. Then Mayorga and Vargas fight, and the "shot" Mayorga beats Vargas and drops him 3 times over their 12 round, ugly, fight.

In the meantime Mosley beat Collazo, but Collazo broke his hand and still Mosley wasn't able to land very many effective punches, and even though he won most of the rounds, he certainly didn't dominate them. Then he lost a close fight to Cotto where he was outtimed, outboxed, outpowered by Cotto, and only his great chin saved him. Then Mosley fought 12 ineffective rounds against an older Mayorga than Oscar fought, and didn't look anywhere near as good as De La Hoya did.

My point is that the Oscar, Mayweather fought was at least on Mosley's level in terms of how dangerous he was, clearly a bigger puncher than Mosley, more effective offensively. Oscar was beating Margarito up as sparring partner for quite some time, but people payed no attention to that when I brought it up. Oscar also was never bruised or battered when Mosley was his chief sparring partner, while he was in the lead up to the Pacquiao fight. My point is that
Dude I've learned not to be so bullheaded, because a lot of the guys on here are pretty knowledgeable and cool cats. Therefore I try to leave insults out.

BUT YOU MUST BE ON FUCKING CRACK If you believe the oscar over mayorga victory was "telling" in terms of who was dangerous. That was a set up fight to help boost oscar's legitamacy as to a real PBF opponent. Mayorga had one easy fight in nearly two years after tito blasted his ass.

then the vargas that oscar beat courtesy of a another tito blasting. was roughly the same. then you try and discredit mosley for beating in the first fight. UHHH how the fuck did his head swell up? Because mosley was pounding him with right hands. then scored the tko in the second fight. And the fights with fernando were at 154...shane is too bulky at 154 as i told you three years ago. Oscar carries the weight better. example he looked much better against floyd at 154 than he did against manny at 147... as shane looked better against collazo,cotto, and marg, at 147 than he did against vargas,winky,mayorga @ 154...

Either you're just a super dooper floyd fan or you really dislike mosley because you've never given him credit for shit. Hell so what collazo hurt his hand...gatti beat ward with a broken hand. Roy beat hopkins with a broken wrist. And tell me how in the hell oscar leading up to the pbf fight was more dangerous than mosely..

oscar lost to mosley, then strum regardless of the decesion, kayoed by hop, then beat out of shaped rusty mayorga then fought pbf...

where as shane has only one close loss to cotto since losing another competitive fight with winky in 2004.
