Ricky Hatton is looking for a high-profile fight in America. Shane Mosley has a big name and can offer the high-visibility bout that Ricky needs. At the same time, Shane is on the downside of his career and seems less dangerous than a few years ago.

Is this a good fight? Who wins, and why?

i don't think this is a good fight for hatton, shanes too big and can't bully him around and i don't THINK he can outbox mosley either.

but very possibly a fight hatton could win.

So if he can't bully Shane and swarm him, how can he win? Isn't that RH's principal style?

I think that would be a good fight to see. I don't think Mosley should go straight for Mayweather.

i dont think ricky hatton will beat vivian harris in may..but hatton should stay away from mosley and fight cintron or somebody

This fight will not happen so why start a nonsense thread about it?

i guess thats my point dude, he can't win against mosley.

mosley is to big for hatton to bully and mosley is a better boxer than hatton, so i cant see ricky beatin shane!

Mosely wins via TKO 8 due to cuts

Because this is a boxing forum, and we are here to speculate.... why else? :rolleyes:

hatton would win, too agressive+too smart. Vargas had the agression but not the smarts and if it wasn't for the eye he might have won.

I don't think MOsley is the perfect style for Hatton but I think he can deal with most styles in one way or another. Would be a good fight though

I don't think Mosley should go straight for Mayweather.

very good idea.

Mosley is risk, if he lost to him Hatton would never get Mayweather, Mosley is very big for Hatton. Hatton is a nail-on light-Welter.

Dangerous fight for Hatton. Mosley is really strong at this weight, especially with his new trainer....

Kostya hits harder than Mosley in my opinion, so I think that Hatton would b able to take those shots Sugar Shane dishes out (smother his shots)...and Mosley wouldn't be able to handle constant calculated pressure (ala winky), and PLUS he's going to take extra shots to the body from Hatton, thats a given...whats mosley going to do?..pitter patter flurries?...Hatton's gonna parry those shots coming in... Shane loses due to stamina...

That is a stupid response....

Anyways... The stupidity aside....



I think Mosley has what it takes to take out Hatton.. This would be a good fight to watch. I mean who would'nt want to see this fight?

**** that!!!...lets see Shane against my boy Cotto.;)

Mosley is bigger? how so?

Mosley/Hatton are both 5'6' and Hatton comes in around 150-155 come fight time and Mosley comes in at 150 when he fights at welterweight.

Hey I always hated fighters overseas.But you GUY'S HAVE REALLY GIVEN MOSLEY TO MUCH CREADIT.FACE IT MOSLEY HAS LOST IT.IF IT WASN'T FOR THE THE HEAD BUTT THAT REALLY DID HAPPEN .MOSLEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN KNOCK THE **** OUT.BUT NOT TO GET OFF THE SUBJECT HATTON WOULD OVER POWER MOSLEY AND KNOCK HIM OUT.

hatton would win, too agressive+too smart. Vargas had the agression but not the smarts and if it wasn't for the eye he might have won.

You think Hatton is a smarter fighter than Shane Mosley? I disagree.

Kostya hits harder than Mosley in my opinion, so I think that Hatton would b able to take those shots Sugar Shane dishes out (smother his shots)...and Mosley wouldn't be able to handle constant calculated pressure (ala winky), and PLUS he's going to take extra shots to the body from Hatton, thats a given...whats mosley going to do?..pitter patter flurries?...Hatton's gonna parry those shots coming in... Shane loses due to stamina...

1) What evidence are you using to say that Kostya hits harder than Shane?

2) When has Shane ever worn down late in fights?

3) Winky didn't provide constant, calculated pressure. Winky provided an impregnable defense with a steady jab.

4) Are Shane's shots "pitter-patter"? All his opponents say differently. Even Winky.

Mosley is bigger? how so?

Mosley/Hatton are both 5'6' and Hatton comes in around 150-155 come fight time and Mosley comes in at 150 when he fights at welterweight.

If you think Shane is five-six, then please pass me what you are smoking.

Also, being "bigger" can also mean that you are accustomed to fighting bigger men. Shane has been in the ring with legitimate middleweights (Vargas and Winky). Shane has experience with the bigger and better punchers : Delahoya and Vargas.

Shane is a bigger, stronger man than Ricky. And his reach is substantially longer than Hatton's.

Agreed that Mosley is taller than Hatton He's about 5'9 right?
Agreed that Mosley doesn't throw Pitter-Patter shots

I however disagree that Mosley would be stronger than Hatton at either 140 or 147, Hatton is extremely strong for his weight, probably due to his diminutive build.

Mosley doesn't have a stamina problem, but then I don't think KT did, Hatton just has more stamina than either of them.

To be fair, I think Mosley has good ringsmarts, but I think Hatton would find a way to beat him, he's a very canny fighter.

mosley wins this fight IMO. by a UD.. shane can definately outbox hatton.. if ricky puts too much pressure hell be eating tons of leather..
