    Hatton is a grinder, a mauler of sorts, in recent times showed faster footwork than Mosley who is/was a great athlete with solid fundamentals and a warriors spirit...two different animals and styles. Hatton is/was better at cutting off the ring and had the style of trying to smother his opponents offense.

    Yeah...Forrest coudln't do, WInky couldn't do it, Mayorga couldn't do it, Cotto couldn't do it, Oscar couldn't do it....Floyd with his brittle ass hands is going to KO Mosley like he did Hatton. Why are people so stupid?
    I say Floyd will probably win by a close UD, but c'mon. To suggest a KO coming from Floyd against Mosley?! Floyd couldn't even KO a fat, older, slower Marquez!!!

    I'm just saying it's a possibility but I agree. Nobody has KO'd Mosley. Dude has a granite chin.

    i will be honestly surprised if Mosley doesn't outwork,out land and hurt Floyd and win by stoppage.

    Floyd will have to move a lot to avoid any damage and he wont be able to escape and win that way,if floyd stands and fights hes not winning that way either.

    i think pac beats floyd too.

    now mosley vs pac,i have no idea who wins,they may fight technical and end up going to war after a few rounds.

    Dude he aint improved since 2007....since fighting Marquez he has only fought Flat footed stationary opponents. He still can be outboxed, he is still a sucker for the straight right, and he still drops his right hand when he throws his straight left. Only thing he has done since I first seen him fight in 2002 is he has better uppercuts and a better hook from either side, Roach helped him improve his punching repetoire and not be so predictable when he first got his charge.

    Diaz was a nobody and he couldve fought the other titlist who a bigger challenge. Hatton is a mauler, Cotto has that slow peak a-boo style susceptible to straight punches and a shot weight drained DLH, i DIDNT SEE MUCH IMPROVEMENT FROM THE MARQUEZ FIGHTS.

    Only way we will see how he improved so much is when he fights another great tactician and counterpuncher good as or better than Marquez.

    Why is everyone ignoring the obvious question? Is Mayweather capable of boxing like Marquez and Morales? Corley lost pretty much every round against Mayweather. Why would Pacquiao want to box like some guy who got dominated by Floyd? Now Marquez and Morales both gave Pacquiao hell. This goes to show the problem Pacquiao is facing. People are hoping he can land a lucky punch. Meanwhile, Pacquiao knows damn well that Mayweather has the skillset and talent to beat his ass all over the ring.

    How many counterpunchers has Pacquiao faced since Marquez? How many guys with good footwork, lateral movement? Hell, how many guys has he faced since that fight with a good right hand?

    None...so how can he say he improved so much....He hasnt fought a counterpuncher since Marquez who in the only fight I've ever seena guy get dropped 3 times in the first to box well enough to eke a draw and arguably get the decision, they waited 3 years and pretty much the same thing happened.

    Thats over 6 years since the first fight and he hasnt shown these great improvements everyone keeps talking about, styles make fights, and a fighter who uses lateral movement with power will most likely always beat slow plodding fighters.

    if I remember correctly, people were saying before the Hatton fight that Pacquiao would get torn up against Hatton and the result would just be like Hatton vs Mallignaggi. Everybody said that Hatton has the right hand to KO pacquiao, has the lateral movement to catch pacquiao and had the foot work to that gave Mayweather trouble in the first few rounds of their fights? What happened?

    Everybody that Pacquiao fought were branded as to having no lateral movement, not a counter puncher, flat footed, no lateral movement but before the fight, everybody had those skills.

    Yep that's how I see it. People keep showing this clip or the JLC fight as a way to beat PBF. Guess what? He won both fights one in dominating fashion.:deal These people are putting hope in a KO against the best defensive boxer of this era. It's wishful thinking at best and it's the reason why PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Pac and the betting favorite as well. PBF has more ways of beating Pac than Pac does beating him.

    Tell me what fighters Pac has faced since Marquez who possesed any of these skills? And Pac was more than a 2/1 favorite over Hatton. Most people had Pacquiao winning that fight.
