- Welter had one shining moment (a close decision vs. de la Hoya) but 2 non-competitive loses to Vernon Forest (never showed any ability to change styles during either fight). Killed all his momentum by turning down a re-match with ODLH

- Jr. Middle was again highlighted by a razor close fight with de la Hoya (which I thought he lost), two uncompetitive fights with the excellent Wright and a pair of fights with the spent Vargas. A win of Mayorga isn't going to help either.

I just don't see if myself.
I personally thought Vernon Forrest vs Shane Mosley 2, was very close although it was a messy boring fight.
1st...the second fight with wright was extremely close...And i agree totally agree with ICB on the second vernon fight.

And lastly i don't see how Shane needed a win over Margarito who's only win at that point was over cotto..earned him HOF votes...that's just asking too much. I mean who had oscar beaten that was a prime A+ fighter? In fact oscar has never beaten a prime A rated fighter ever...
