    styles do make fights so I believe it would be a better fight than floyd vs shane, however, I don't really see the appeal that much just because shane already lost badly to floyd and I just don't see pac getting much praise for beating him at this stage, even if he does look great against Mora.

    I think there are other fights out there better for pacquiao (besides floyd obviously), including andre berto or timothy bradley/alexander winner. I don't think Pac should continue fighting at 150+ after margarito.

      What's with manny fighting all Floyds left overs?

      Manny takes this by workrate but he doesn't KO Mosley. Just doesn't happen.

          yeah, hatton wasn't considered old though. Shane will be probably 40 years old by the time the fight happens.

          Also, with hatton it was a case of pacquiao moving up in weight so there was a feeling that hatton was going to be big and strong for pac.

          Additionally hatton was a belt holder at 140. I don't think shane will have a belt at 154 unless I'm forgetting a super-silver plated-interm-3rd World democracy-International-emeritus title

            to be honest i think 40 year old shane is better than 30 year old hatton because shane does not drink and do ******* like that. shane is always in shape and take care of himself.

            look at what hatton did before he fight lazcano




            Round One began on Friday. Ricky downed six pints of lager near his flat. He then sank another three lagers, six pints of Guinness and five vodka and Red Bulls in Tramp nightclub.

            Round Two the next day saw Ricky supping another six lagers in preparation for a night out at The Dubliner.

            There, he polished off seven pints of Guinness, two pints of rum and the alcopop WKD, three whisky chasers, and three vodka and Red Bulls.

            Before the boxer finally stumbled into a taxi at 3am, a witness said: "He was bladdered, totally blotto - but still an absolute gent."

            Round Three on Sunday saw Ricky, of Stockport, despatch five pints of lager in various bars during the day. Then he whiled away the evening at Blaydon Races aided by five pints of Guinness, five vodka and Red Bulls and two vodkas.

            Round Four on New Year's Eve had to be something special. Ricky limbered up with six pints of lager, a huge burger and extra large chips.

            Two seats, guarded by bouncers, were reserved at Blaydon Races. Ricky and Jennifer arrived at 10pm to an impromptu chorus from revellers of Blue Moon, the Manchester City anthem which the fighter enters the ring to. The hero then settled in to seven pints of Guinness followed by four pints of rum and WKD.

            At midnight, Hatton downed one bottle and shared the rest with friends. He then drank four vodka and Red Bulls and two vodka shots before leaving unsteadily at 3am.

            A recommended weekly alcohol intake for men is about 22 units or 11 pints of weak beer. Ricky, who famously balloons by up to 40lbs between fights, had a bare minimum of 144 units in four days.

              Hindsight is 20/20 though, I mean going into the fight the general consensus was that hatton would give pacquiao a tough fight, plus again it was a great fight for pacquiao going up in weight and taking the true title at 140.

              Mosley I'm sure, even at age 140 would be a tougher test than hatton turned out to be, I mean ****, urango would have lasted longer than ricky did.

              Like I said I actually think mosley vs pac would be a good fight, based on styles. But my point is I just don't know what that does for pacquiao at this point in his career and would the general public's feelings/interests would be. Maybe I'm wrong and there would be a big demand for it, I dunno. I just personally think there are a few better fights than mosley in 2011.
