Hey man I'm not saying Cotto's win over Mosley is better than any of PBF's wins. I'm saying the Mosley that Cotto fought was better than any fighter PBF ever fought. If you can't see the difference between those 2 statements then there's no point arguing.
Undefeated, prime Corrales whos was stripped of his IBF title who was even money to beat floyd. is a better win then Mosley was for cotto. In terms of legacy and standing in their respective divisions it was a better win. Floyd dominated in that fight to boot.
Did I say that? I said a win against Ricky Hatton right NOW is better then a win against a 36 year old Shane. If Floyd beat Shane when Cotto fought him. You would be saying Floyd ducked so and so for an old Shane. A WIN OVER RICKY HATTON NOW. IS BETTER THEN A 36 YEAR OLD SHANE.
You fools dont read. A win over Ricky Hatton is a better win then Shane now. Shane is old. No matter how you spin it. Shane is not the fighter he was 2 years ago. And if Floyd had fought Shane when Cotto did and won, you would all be claiming he fought an old Shane and ducked Hatton or DLH. I want Floyd to fight Cotto. If Cotto goes after DLH. It proves my point he doesn't want Floyd.
What weight class? Hatton is going back down (like it mattered, he weighed 154 fight night, the exact weight he weighs on fight night as a Jr Welter) I would go with Hatton slightly. As he would make the correct adjustments for getting beat by Floyd and be more cautious but then again he doesn't have to worry about the massive speed difference between Shane and Floyd. Note Hatton doesn't beat Shane Pre 2 years ago and beyond.
Why is a Ricky hatton win better though???? because he was undefeated??? Ricky hatton fought 39 bums and 4 good fighters. Think about the losses Mosley had. His losses have to potential hall of famers and to some of the most avoided fighters in recent boxing History. But Mosley had the balls to step in the ring with them. Regardless of Mosleys' record, he is now and forever will be a bigger challenge that Hatton. But please explain why you think a Hatton victory is better???
What makes you think he would make adjustments. Hatton is an idiot. How long does it take someone to figure out they should not come straight in when they've been getting caught with lead rights all night. He doesnt know how to adjust mid fight.
Ricky Hatton win is better because he was the man at 140. Think of the fight that happened between the two as the match of the BEST of 140-147. Hatton weighed 154 on fight night, exactly weight as his Jr Welter fights. Shane is on his way his out. The Shane that fought DLH years ago would SMASH Cotto. But Cotto given credit like it was that Shane. Shane is not the same fighter. He is older, slower.
Hatton believes in his trainers so much they told him to forget defense. Hatton has time off and will train smarter for a slower opponent. All I am saying is. Ricky the 140lb Champ, the man at 140. Is a better win then a 36 Shane Mosley. It is. Go back a few years and a Shane win is better but right now. No.
sorry to tell you but if you think Hatton would beat Mosley if they fought next month then you should visit your local drug rehab clinic.
Until they fight we'll never know. That doesn't change the fact that a win over the 140lb Lineal Champion is better then a 36 year old Shane.
