I like Shane he is great fighter and nice guy outside the ring but i haven’t been able to see that many Mosley fights can any of you knowledgable posters tell me what his best fighters were ?? thanks ccs for the answer.
The de lah hoya ones;
golden johnson.. rivera and shannon taylor are good ones?
I would strongly recommend you watch the follwing fights they are all early fights of his career.
vs. Valenzuela - He drops SSM and SSM fights back an early SSM fight. (Valenzuelas the same guy that dropped ODLH)
vs. Holiday - It was his 1st shot at a title, not his best performance but a good one as he crowned himself IBF champ
vs. Molina - A dominant performance by SMM over the tough and rugged vet.
vs. Leija - A full frontal beat down, SSM at his best.
Thanks alot bro cc ill download them later and thanks to you also Preme cc.
I put this on BoxingBanter.com my views are the same
Cotto has beaten (inorder); Mausssa Ko8th, Sosa Ko4th, Lovemore N’dou UD12th, Kelson Pinto Ko6th, Randall Bailey Ko6th, DeMarcus Corley Ko5th, Mohamad Abdulaev Ko9th, Ricardo Torres Ko7th, Gianluca Branco Ko8th, Paul Malignaggi UD12th, Carlos Quintana RTD5th, Oktay Urkal Ko11th and Zab Judah Ko11th.
Sure Mosley has fought people like Vernon Forest and Winky Wright but 4 loses from those 2 fighters in joint total.
2 Ko Wins over Fernando Vargas and a UD over Luis Collazo stand-out as the best recent victories for ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley and he’s also scored 2 points wins over David Estrada and Jose Luis Cruz.
Everything for me points at a Cotto victory. I certainly can’t see Mosley scoring a Ko over Cotto.
nice list CC - gunna dl some of them m self..
no probs ice - cc back
Well you also gotta point out that he did beat ODLH the 1st time around. That’s a very meaningful fight there.
The majority of Mosley’s best fights are at Lightweight with the exception being the first DLH fight at 147lb, he was outstanding in that fight, i regard that as his best performance.
He destroyed lesser opponents with ease and was totally dominant in the Lightweight division, any footage you find of him at 135lb will convince you he was up there with the all time greats of that division.
Find the Leija fight at 135 and Taylor at 147lb and you will see a destructive force.
I don’t think Floyd would have beaten him at 135lb, he was that good!!
I had the same list except mine also had Willy Wise and Shannon Taylor on it
I love his fight with de la hoya.it still lingers in my mind. O0
His fight against Eduardo Bartolome Morales is a good one too.
Shane Mosley vs Adrian Stone
Shane boxed great . Ive seen Stone b4 and he did well against Forrest so I thought he was atleast capable of taking Shane afew rounds but he never got into the fight . Shane was so quick and the finish was brutal . Adrain Stone was already unconcious when Shane landed the finishing blow and he needed medical attention . Shame to see him on the floor like that so early cuz he was a good little fighter but no match for a prime Sugar Shane . Nobody was .
rivera
oscar1
johnson
stone
leija
taylor
holiday
collazo
Rivera was giving him a lot of trouble but this was his first ww fight and Rivera is a tough fighter who had never been KOed before this fight. Mosley is a great fighter. I think his best was at Lightweight but he defenately made his mark at WW.
Im just getting to the end of his career box set at the moment and I have to say I have enjoyed all of his fights. Both the ODLH fights were good to watch (the first one was the best). He was so lightening quick at lightweight and his bodyshots were top drawer. Another thing that came accross is that he is such a nice guy too and never ducked anyone even if it meant he took a smaller purse he always took on the best fighters.
You know this sucks fellas i have found few of this fights but link is not up anymore or i just can’t find them shame i was looking forward to watching his Lightweight bouts.
Here is a couple short showcase bouts early in his career…

I don’t think there is a boring one. He gets after it. Not a guy looking to win on points and cruise through a fight, I think his first couple of fights after losing to Winky were his least exciting. He was trying to box more and intentionally went rounds. Overall I would watch any Mosley fight.
The first one with ODH was a beauty. Actually one of my favorite fights. Both guys put it on the line in that one. I used to think ODH was extremely overrated before that fight.
Now I think he’s a damn tough fighter, just a little overrated.
Thanks for the clips Daxx i’ve still had no luck i just got Forrest vs Mosley 1 but thats in foreign language i want the HBO version if anyone has it ?? or any Mosley fights on the list and i will give you 10 ccs.
I certainly wouldn watch the Willy Wise fight it was very scrappy…
As for entertainment value, you really cant go wrong with his fights against Collazo and Vargas, Shane looked great!
