Is Shane Mosely the greatest ever?

[BigLuke]

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?

Great boxer? Yes.
Do i think its amazing what hes done? yes
Greatest boxer of all time? Not even close

His credentials dont stack up anywhere near that kinda talk. I love him as a fighter and hes a class act though.

Mate I haven't seen you posting here in years!
I wouldn't even respond to Bilbo... he doesn't want to talk about Mosely's achievements... he's got a hidden Pac agenda (he tries to hide it but secretly he's a Pac minion).

Style makes fight. Shane Mosley is great. Margarito is tailor made for him. That was prolly his greatest performance. But he's also tailor made for a couple of fighters... Forrest and Wright. And for that, he can't be above SRR, Ali, or any top 10 ATGs.
