Mosley vs Hatton a possibility?

[Technical_Skill]

Hatton is a bit small even for a light welterweight, he's about lightweight size:

LMAO.

He weights about 180 lbs outside of the ring, what kind of crap talk is this?

Anybody who's ever really been in a ring knows how important reach is. Ricky Hatton is the best fighter his own size in the world, and he doesn't need to fight bigger boxers to prove anything! I would like him to face Pacquiao and Juan Diaz, have them move up to light welterweight for the fights.

I think he could face Diaz, because I dont think he would have a problem moving up. As for Pac, I doubt that. Pac is probably maxed out at SFW, the highest he could possibly go would be LW, but still that may be a stretch.

Actually Mayweather started his career at 130 and Mosley at 135, Hatton never fought at 130 or 135, he started his career at 140, so Hatton is the bigger man.

I'm not talking about what weight boxers started at, I'm referring to what size they are now. Most people are slimmer in their late teens, but then they fill out in their early to mid 20's. A few actually still grow taller in their late teens. Some people, however, remain the same weight (and height) as they were at 18, and Hatton seems to be one of those.

My point is this: someone who is 5'6'' and has a reach of 65'' is smaller and is at a disadvantage fighting someone who is 5'9'' and has a reach of 74''. That's a very signifigant reach advantage for Mosely over Hatton.

When someone is overweight from drinking too much beer, he's not at his natural size or weight. A person's natural weight is his weight when he's in shape.

I wish Hatton would lay off the beer, it's hurting his career. He should fight more often and stay in shape all the time.

i really dont think Hatton is all that good i think he won a lot of fights against not so good oponents over in europe..fighters in the states are a lot better and i dont think Hatton would beat any of the top welterweights out there..although i would love to see cotto and hatton go at it just because i think they can both stand in the pocket and exchange blows..miguel would get the better of him but out of the top welterweights i think hatton should lean towards a fight with cotto.

Dude the guy in you avatar sucks ass. He's a clown and and phoney, and you attack hatton... :gay:

**** Paul Malignaggi, and Hatton would kill that ****ing piece of ****.

Dude, no way is hatton anywhere near lightweight, without or without the diet, he makes 147 with ease, obviously he cant handle 147 because he isnt a big man boiling down to pick on smaller guys at that weight, but seriously.

No way could Hatton ever make 135 without causing long term damage to his health, lol

I aint mad at what you said, just smack talking for my own personal humor.

lol.

Has to be said I couldn't see Malignaggi lasting 12 against Hatton. He would get mauled.

[squealpiggy]

And Hatton couldn't make 135 without losing a leg.

Yes, Hatton would destroy Malignaggi.

Hatton's a natural light welterweight (140 pounds) because he's solidly built, although his height and reach are comparable to most lightweights and featherweights.
