Is Shane Mosely the greatest ever?

[levi#1BoxingFan]

Sugar Shane has done what is apparently impossible to do. He moved down from 154 lbs to 147 lbs, late in his career, after more than 40 fights and well into his thirties and won the linear title.

As we know from recent debates on this forum as well as basic understanding of human biology it is impossible for a fighter to give up even a couple of pounds and be able to compete with a smaller guy on a fair footing and yet Sugar Shane has defied these odds and moved down AN ENTIRE WEIGHT CLASS and became the champ.

Surely he must be the best fighter of all time?

Are you serious? Shane is good but greatest of all time? This post is the greatest waist of all time!

Mosely makes my top 1000, just behind Martin Rogan. He was 1 second away from humiliation against Mayorga

Yes, because the way people view him should be based upon one fight.

Yeah 1 fight that he won by sensational KO and was a mile ahead on points anyway. I dont think he has a point .

what fight were you watching? the Mayorga fight was close until the sensational KO, the fact that the fight was so close and for Mosley to not let it go to the cards at the very last second was what made it such a good knockout, i had Mosley ahead by one round, two at most going into the 12th, hardly a mile ahead, the official scores were judge: Tony Crebs 107-102 | judge: Pat Russell 104-105 | judge: Nelson Vazquez 105-104
in favor of Shane, and IMO 107-102 is pretty ludicrous

I personally didn't think it was as close as some people thought, Ricardo Mayorga landed hardly any clean blows. I had Shane Mosley comfortably ahead.

but he was smothering a lot of Mosley's shots and also stopping his momentum, IMO it wasn't pretty but Mayorga was being effective, and even if Mosley was well ahead, his performance was hardly as impressive than DLH's and Trinidad's against Mayorga, many believed Mayorga had nothing left prior to the Mosley fight, it came out that it wasn't so

Humiliation as the scorecards would have announced him the winner? That was a great fight where both fighters performed well and Mosley really put the fan interest before his and probably made things harder on himself then he should have. As for the post, a lot of serious replies? And is this Bilbo?

I know. It boggles the mind.
