In 1999 Sugar Shane Mosley was entering his prime and moved up to the 147lb division to eventually face Oscar De La Hoya. Now think this Kostya Tsyzu was in his prime and held the WBC title and was king in the 140lb division at the time. What if Mosley moved up to the 140lb division he would have destroyed Sharmba Mitchell quickly and set up a unification fight with Tsyzu who would have won this fight if would have taken place.

  1. mosley easily. look at what vince phillips did to tyszu when he was in his prime.


  2. I think Shane Mosley would have easily outpointed Kostya Tszyu. I respect what Tszyu has done in the junior welterweight division, but I think he was slightly.... only slightly overrated. Just looking back to that first round of Tszyu's fight with Judah, Tszyu seem like he was outclassed and couldn't deal with Judah's speed. Judah got cocky and got caught, so we all know the rest of the story behind that ordeal. Mosley back then, was just as fast as Judah. Mosley also had a much better focus, heart and desire to win than Judah. you combine all of those things, I think Mosley would have given Tszyu the same problems the entire that Judah give him in that first round of their fight.
