Originally posted by PBP View PostCuz Mosley won 5 straight fights before he fought Cotto. You could argue 6 because Wright 2 was a solid close fight.
His only losses were to Forrest and Wright which were style problems for him.

In that fight according to compubox cotto and Mosley landed the same amount of punches and the fight was very close, many thought mosley could've won or it could've been a draw. I think mosley being the number 1 ww, p4p #3 and coming off a crushing knockout win over margarito is much more impressive then having no belt and coming off a ud over collazo.
When he fought cotto he was as sharp as ever and fought well enough to win the fight. That's the best he had looked since the first de la hoya fight on the big stage.
Against Floyd it was a combination of being neutralized and being old. Floyd took his soul and Mosley lost his confidence and just fought to survive and get paid. But you can't determine whether 2007 shane was better than 2010 Shane based on his fights with Floys and cotto because Floyd would have destroyed 2007 shane just as easily. Cotto is an easier matchup for him.
I agree with you that margarito is a better win for mosley than collazo. But I'd take the younger faster 2007 Mosley any day over the 2010 version with over a year layoff.

Originally posted by PBP View PostI see where your coming from but that Margarito win was fools gold. Plus he had a year and a half layoff after he fought Margarito and stepped into the ring with Floyd. The key is, look after the Mayweather fight. Didn't he struggle with Sergio Mora the contender dude?

10oz gloves benefit Mayweather, who is a great boxer but NOT a KO artist. 10oz allows the harder puncher to punch harder without getting their hands hurt.
