Hatton to face Mosley next

[rocco1252]

Let me clarify. Even though I am a Mosley detractor, here are some things I think are generally true:

1) Hatton is younger and fresher.
2) Hatton cuts very easily.
3) Mosley is good at taking advantage of cuts/wounds (see Vargas fight).
4) Mosley is bigger, has a rock solid chin, and has the strength that will nullify Hatton's smothering style.

I think this is one of the few past-his-prime fighters that Hatton would lose to, if it happened.

so basically what your saying is it will be a replay of the Oscar and Ricardo fight? Which I agree 100% although Mosley wouldnt do it in such a quick fasion he doesnt have the drive Oscar had/has. If Mosley comes in totally confident in himself and rev'd up he'll school Hatton no problem but I think it would take about 8 - 10 rounds before Hatton is stopped.

I'm not so sure that Mosley would be the bigger guy here. It seems to me that Hatton is naturally bigger than Mosley. Mosley started at 130lbs and has slowly filled into the higher weights but lost a lot of the power he showed in the lighter weights.

It would be interesting in styles also. Mosley might be a good matchup stylisticly for Hatton. Mosley likes to get into that semi-medium range and flurry and back away....Mosley was never really a boxer more of a flurry guy back up, flurry back up.

I dont see him getting the room he needs to do that versus Hatton, that along with Hattons pace which is tough for an even prime fighter might be enough to crack Mosley's shell.

Mosley has shown a great chin though and does have some decent power but IMHO not enough power and not elusive enough to defeat Hatton.

Yea Mosley was a Machine at 130. But his power has faded and he just cant really hurt people by going to the body like he used to...

Not that bad, but yeah, a stoppage eventually. Hatton is going up too far for his own good if he fights Mosley. Hatton still makes 140 easily.

How could they line up anything? Mosley-Vargas 2 is a pick-em fight. I personally think Vargas will win the rematch.
