**If Cotto takes a match with DLH**

No way Hatton beats Mosely. Hatton's good, but it seemed that without the ability to wrestle and maul, he wasnt as effective. Mosley beats him by KO.

 

I guess we can just agree to disagree b/c in my opinion being a title holder doesnt make you the man.

I dont care for the politics. I think a fighters greatness should be determined by the quality of his opposition.

Speaking on that alone, Hattons quality was not impressive. His greatest 2 victories were over a semi-retired Kosta who was allowed to be held for the entire fight and a past his prime, partially weight-drained Castillo. He struggled against a B/C class fighter in Collazo and a D class fight in Urango.

Mosley's resume is probably the best for any active fighter today regardless of his losses. In my opinion, Mosley was a much bigger threat to Cotto than Hatton was to Mayweather. The only people who gave hatton a chance of winning were his fans and Floyd haters. Unbiased people knew Ricky had no chance at all.

On the other hand, the Cotto/Mosley fighter was truly a toss up.

If Ricky Hatton fought Cotto or Mosley, he would get destroyed.

 

That doesn't change the fact that a 36 year old Shane is a MUCH better welterweight than Hatton will ever be. Can't believe you think this fight would be even close. Go watch Hatton - Collazo and Shane - Collazo and then come back and say that again.

 

I feel you, but we're comparing wins at welterweight. Mosley is a top 5 welterweight, while Hatton might not even be a top 10 welterweight.

Also, who says that Mosley is old and done. Look at Hopkins. The reason you cant consider Mosley a washed up fighter is b/c he had come off of a string of great victories. If anything, DLH is a washed up fighter, which would make Cotto's win over Shane better than Floyd's over DLH.

Also, do you think that FLoyd over Hatton is a better welterweight win than Cotto over Quintana.

Do you think Hatton can beat Quintana or Zab Judah?

 

I quote Floyd " Shane doesn't get it, he's just the bait... First I beat him, then I'll beat his boss" July 17 2006. What went wrong? Shane was never the bait for Mayweather and still Floyd was applauding in front row Shane beating Vargas and Oscar stopping Mayorga... Now, that Floyd's a grown up mega-superstar... "Shane Mosley is just a sparring partner, I don't fight sparring partners... He doesn't bring enough money to the table... Margarito is not in the same plateu as I am... blah, blah, blah". Shane couldn't and rightfully didn't fight the kid when he most wanted to but should have had when he was a WBC nº1 Contender for Mayweather's title - of course, there would come the Sulaiman and Ellerbe private negociations, money talked louder and all of a sudden, Hatton was a brand new WBC 147 pounder mandatory challenger. LOL.

 

you think Hatton would beat Mosley, I think Mosley would beat Hatton.

I'm not using the weight as an excuse.
You're the one who brought up weight when you asked what weight they'd be fighting at obviously they'd fight at 147 but if you think it doesn't make a difference then that's fine Mosley would beat Hatton at 147 wether weight makes a difference or not.

 

On what basis do you think Hatton can beat Judah or Quintana. I dont think he can b/c both Collazo and Floyd have shown that he can not deal with slick fighters. I might slightly see him doing well against Judah, but not Quintana.

Also, who says Cotto is not after Floyd. We all know that he doesnt make the decisions. He leaves it to Bob. I hate that he does it, but what can I do about it except enjoy his fights. I'm sure he would not have had ringside tickets if he was not after FLoyd.

Did Floyd have ringside tickets to the Cotto/Mosley fight? Floyd picked Mosley to easily destroy Cotto. Up until Cotto's victory Floyd always said Cotto was too green, but now he has seen what Cotto is made of and wouldnt dare to talk crazy.

 

I said Hatton is a better fighter at 140 than 147. And I only said that BEFORE the fight and never after. I never used any excuses whatsoever. I actually put some money on Floyd, while I'm sure you didn't



You're a fool eze. Maybe you don't know if Mosley would beat Hatton until they fight, but I do, and most boxing fans who know what they're talking about also know.

By your logic, Eric Crumble could've beaten Sugar Ray Robinson, and we'll never know. atsch
