Shane was at his prime at LW and when he first moved to WW. Once he juiced up to 154, he looked like shit. "Power boxing" went out the window and he started trying to just whack guys out.

Brandon Rios on himself: I know he has tremendous skill and punching power, but I have punching power too. And I do have some skills, kind of.

hahaha.

True on Mosley. I think Mosley's problem ended up being his approach to fights when he moved up. It's like he still believed he had the same freakish advantages that he had in Lightweight, but against naturally bigger & better guys. He didn't have the same effects on his opponents, but still maintained the same mentality that he was still the same freak. So he did seem to expect the KO's to always come!

It didn't help that he continued to consistently fight the best in each division he ever fought in. Shane Mosley's path and list of opponents in his career is sadistic. Closest boxer to have had a very tough career was Oscar De La Hoya!
