Mosley fought just about every great fighter of his era - Oscar De La Hoya, Vernon Forrest, Winky Wright, Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather.
Undoubtedly, Mosley's greatest victories were over De La Hoya. When they first met in 2003, Mosley had already been a lightweight champion with eight title defenses. Although neither fighter was ever close to being knocked down, both took plenty of damage and Mosley won a split decision.
At that point, Mosley was among the biggest names in boxing.
Vernon Forrest changed that in 2002, knocking down Mosley twice and winning a unanimous decision. The two fought again that year and Forrest won another unaminous decision.
In 2003, Mosley moved back into the upper echelon by winning a unanimous decision over De La Hoya that remains controversial. Punch stats show De La Hoya landed 100 more punches and Mosley admitted in court filings that he injected himself with EPO before the match.
That would be Mosley's last major victory. He lost a pair of fights to Winky Wright, a fighter widely avoided by other contenders. He lost a unanimous decision to then undefeated Miguel Cotto even though both landed the same number of punches. He remained a player in major money fights by upsetting Antonio Margarito, but he was outclassed in matches against Pacquaio, Mayweather and Alvarez.
