    I think this looks a lot like the Whitaker-McGirt fight in the sense that a solid fighter is made to look ordinary by the skills of Whitaker. As good as Shane is, Whitaker was just to slick for him even at 147.

    I like Pea by relatively easy UD.

    Agreed. Mosley's aggression makes him a less difficult prospect for Whitaker than De La Hoya, for instance, & even an old Whitaker only dropped a decision to a peaking De La Hoya by a mere point on my card. The version who belittled Chavez would've won 8-4 over Mosley, & repeated the dosage two divisions south at 135, where, IMO, both of these men were at their imposing best.

    Whitaker by decision. Too elusive and slick for the disguised slugger.

    Whitaker for sure, Mosley lacks the skills to beat him
