Just because I am able to see that Mosley was a guy who was discouraged numerous times from going "all out" to win and you aren't, doesn't mean I think of Mosley as being a Lou Bizzarro-level fighter. Bizzarro was a feather-fisted, running fringe contender. He fought a disgraceful fight in his one chance against Duran, making no attempt to win. He showed a lot of guts in getting up from a bunch of horrifying knockdowns, but other than that he did nothing but run away. Only a maniac would think Mosley was that bad. You seem to equate not believing Mosley is a brave legend with believing Mosley was a horrible fighter.
if duran was around when mosley was at lightweight i think it would have been an excellent, competitive fight.
so, maybe he would have instead been relegated to Edwin Viruet status, which is still respectable He's not beating Duran
Randy was a real good and tough, but unspectacular fighter. The guy reminded me of the Quarry's in that he didn't slip a lot of punches, and he beat Ray Leonard to win the national amateur title. Pete Ranzany cleaned his plow in a big fight at the time, but Randy would have been too good for Primera.
