    As a Hatton fan I'm a little worried about this one. We all know Hatton will take the challenge, but if the Mosley of last night shows up, I don't see Ricky getting the W

    Sugar is a horrible match up for Hatton. Sugar is stronger, bigger, faster, a better boxer, hits harder.

    But the important one here is "stronger".

    Im a Hatton fan but he would get the beating of his life if he turned up and fought against the fighter that faught Margarito last night. Almost any other matchup would be better for him than Mosley I would say

    Even at this age, Mosley is too classy tolose to Hatton. He's a complete fighter. Unless Mosley slips Roy Jones style in the next few years he's always gonna be an overall more skilled fighter than Hatton, and ricky's best chance is to fight him as he's approaching 40 and hope that he gets old overnight.

    I'd actually give Hatton a very good chance at 140, but not Welter:think

    Mosley would brutalize Hatton. He would out-box him badly from the outside and man-handle him on the inside. Hatton would be getting pushed and knocked around the ring throughout the whole fight.
