    one thing to learn from floyd-hatton...

    is that floyd is excellent at controlling distance....he had hatton where he wanted him damn near the whole fight...i saw the fight again and one thing i never noticed live is how floyd kept hatton from getting too close, if he got too close he tied him up, and he hit hatton with damn near every punch...not saying mosley is hatton but i dont think he has great footwork....i havent seen all floyds fights but castillo seemed like the only one who could get inside mayweathers comfort zone with his footwork....honestly i think we might end up on may 2 saying delahoya put up a better fight vs floyd....

    note: this has nothing to do with floyd-pac

      The Hatton Floyd beat was a beast. He was undefeated in over 40 fights & a 2 division champion before he got brutally KOd by Floyd.

        He was a beast at junior welterweight.

              Floyd is gonna light Shane's ass up. It's gonna take him a few rounds to weather that Mosley hurricane, but once Shane finds out that Floyd's defense is damn near impenetrable, he'll mentally give up.

                fat boy Cortez jumping in to split them every 5 seconds made it perfect for Floyd, Cortez kept Hatton off him almost every time they got close.

                    honestly when i saw it live i thought the ref screwed up a great victory....then i saw again, dont pay attention to the crowd or commentary, floyd is hitting hatton with the kitchen sink..hes just moving and landing punches as soon as he sees hatton load up...you could give hatton 2 rounds at most...anyway the point is that i just see mosley have a hard time cutting floyds movement off because even tho he has some physical advantages i dont see em coming into play that much....unless he lands a bomb in the first 3 rounds i think hes due for a one sided fight...
