the fact hatton is undefeated and is getting hype nowadays is whats holding him in the p4p ranks, but shane has beaten and fought ten times better oppenent then hatton has, and at 35 just dominated a guy that should of beat hatton just a few months ago.
Name one shane mosley victim who is ten times better than Kostya Tszyu? I agree with everything else. Shane is a helluva fighter but that comment is absurd
prime oscar dela hoya (twice) way better then a old koysta tszyu that had only 3 fights in what 3 years,
shane has only lost to two fighters, winky and forrest.
hatton has only 1 name that stands out, old tszyu...shane has fought and dominated divisions and he move up in weights for the sake of just fighting better oppenents. he fought winky in a higher weight class, unlike hatton, he rather rot at 140 and pick on smaller fighters so he can protect his virginity.
:coolclick: I agree, beating a 35 year old Tyszu who had barely fought in 3 years isn't the same as beating a prime De La Hoya,
or even moving upto 154 and beating a faded Vargas.
Tyszu has spent the last two years tap dancing, does anyone really think he would have been doing that if him and his team felt he still had something to offer?

I don't know if he'll wreak havoc. If Mosley wants a big payday, then he'll get in the ring with Mayweather in late '07.
I think Mayweather would beat Shane rather decisively.
But Mosley would be either favored or at about even odds against any welterweight besides Mayweather.
I'll agree that Mayweather would beat Shane, but I truly believe he'd be Mayweather's toughest opposition out there right now.
I think you need these three things to beat Floyd.
1. Match Floyd in hand speed (or at least come close)
2. Sustain a quick pace for 12 rounds
3. Have a good enough chin to take Floyd's straight rights.
Of all the guys out there right now, Shane's the only one that comes close to having all three of those things.
Gone are the days when bullrushing Floyd was the gameplan to beating him.
As tough as it sounds, you gotta outbox him and catch him with sneak shots when you can.
And if you don't have all three of the above listed things, it's easy work for Floyd.

I disagree that Floyd can't be bull rushed. Goneindeed are the days where it was thought Hatton or Baldimor could bull rush him but someone naturally bigger and stronger will still have the best chance against in my opinion. Margarito remains a threat, as is De La Hoya.

You roll your eyes JimBoogie but what had Tyszu done in the last 5 years exactly?
He beat Ben Takie in a 12 round decision, Tackie ALWAYS loses to any name fighter, he lost his next two after Tyszu to Hatton and Mitchell, has subsequently lost to Lazcano and fought to a draw against Contender 'star' Norberto Bravo. Big deal.
Tyszu knocked out Jesse James Leija in 5, again Leija gets knocked out by ALL the big names, De La Hoya 2, Mosely 9, Gatti 5 A Nelson 6, again really not a big deal.
And he beat Sharmba Mitchell in 3 another fighter who always gets knocked out by the big names, Mayweather 6, Williams 5, Stevie Johnstone 9, Leaveander Johnson 8.
The last big win for Tyszu was in 2001 against Zab.
His team have since urged him not to come out of retirement becuase the y believe he's shot.
Beating Tyszu wasn't that big a deal. A good achievement yes, but Tyszu was on the slide, it's fact.

If anyone, De La Hoya could rush Floyd and have a shot. But i don't think Oscar would fight him that way.
And I'm not sold on Margarito one bit yet.
He could rush Floyd all he wants but his hand speed just isn't fast enough in my opinion. Plus, he loops his heavy shots quite a bit. Floyd would be able to roll his shots even the times Margarito does land.
I really think speed is the big big thing one needs to beat Floyd.
I gotta point at Judah - PBF as a blueprint to beating Floyd.
If Zab Judah was able to fight Floyd like he did in round 1 for all 12 rounds he could've had a real legitimate shot at winning. You gotta admit he looked good in the first few rounds. But he fell apart.
And if anyone could do what Zab did in round one but sustain it for 12, it's gotta be Mosley.
I'm still putting Mosley as Floyd's greatest danger.
I'll see your Oscar at number 2 though.

Yeah I agree I would favour Mayweather over all of them. I think if Margarito really pressed him and kept his punch output high he could nullify Floyd to some extent.
We saw Taylor physical strength over Kasim Ouma, he effectively reduced his punch output to half as Ouma couldn't open up against Taylor for fear of being hit back.
I think Floyd would have to be very cagey against Margarito, and I'm 99% sure that if fight took place Margarito would throw at least 30% more punches than Floyd which might be enough to keep the fight close on the scorecards.
Re: No One in Good Conscious Can Rate Hatton Higher Than Shane P4P
i've thought mosley would beat mayweather for ages. he's got bigger balls and equal speed.

That's assuming Margarito goes off on Floyd.
Against nobodies, sure Tony looks great throwing a million punches a round. But when he realizes he's not landing against Floyd and realizes that Floyd can actually hit back, he may hold off a bit and try to reserve some energy.
That's why I wanna see Margarito in with some actual competition and see how he fares with world class competition before I seriously consider him a threat to Floyd.
I still think Tony's fans want him to be better than he actually is.
Prove me wrong, Tony.
I'd be happy if I was wrong and he's the real deal.

I'm not really a fan, and I don't think he's the real deal but he's so much bigger than Floyd naturally that it could have an effect.
Baldomir was big, but slow as hell and a non puncher. Margarito is bigger, has a longer reach, throws way more punches and can dig. He's also got a tough jaw won't be bothered about getting hit by Floyd.
I'd still favour Mayweather but Margarito could be a threat, like Coralles but bigger, throws more, hits harder and doesn't have a china chin.
Whether he could land much against Floyd is the big question though. If he can't it's an easy UD for Floyd, if not then it could be a long night indeed for the pretty boy.

That is the only important issue, what you posted there.
By looking at the past performaces of Margarito and Mayweather and looking at their strengths/weaknesses, there is nothing to indicate that Margarito will be able to land much against Floyd.
A fighter like Floyd loves a big slow target that he can potshot at will. He fought 23 rounds against Corrales and Baldomir, and won all 23.
If Mayweather met up with Margarito, I would expect to see Margarito chasing Floyd all night, landing almost nothing, and getting hit repeatedly in the process.

Vargas had only ever lost to two fighters prior to meeting with Shane both hall of famers in De La Hoya and Trinidad.
Coming into the first Mosely fight he had won 4 straight since being knocked out in the 11th round by De La Hoya, He beat Javier Castillejo just prior to fighting Mosely and he was no joke, certainly up there with the likes of Ben Takie and Sharmba Mitchell, he knocked out Felix Sturm last year after all to win the WBA middlewight title!

hatton has only 1 name that stands out, old tszyu...shane has fought and dominated divisions and he move up in weights for the sake of just fighting better oppenents. he fought winky in a higher weight class, unlike hatton, he rather rot at 140 and pick on smaller fighters so he can protect his virginity.
:coolclick: I agree, beating a 35 year old Tyszu who had barely fought in 3 years isn't the same as beating a prime De La Hoya,
or even moving upto 154 and beating a faded Vargas.
Tyszu has spent the last two years tap dancing, does anyone really think he would have been doing that if him and his team felt he still had something to offer?
;D ::**
You roll your eyes JimBoogie but what had Tyszu done in the last 5 years exactly?
He beat Ben Takie in a 12 round decision, Tackie ALWAYS loses to any name fighter, he lost his next two after Tyszu to Hatton and Mitchell, has subsequently lost to Lazcano and fought to a draw against Contender 'star' Norberto Bravo. Big deal.
Tyszu knocked out Jesse James Leija in 5, again Leija gets knocked out by ALL the big names, De La Hoya 2, Mosely 9, Gatti 5 A Nelson 6, again really not a big deal.
And he beat Sharmba Mitchell in 3 another fighter who always gets knocked out by the big names, Mayweather 6, Williams 5, Stevie Johnstone 9, Leaveander Johnson 8.
The last big win for Tyszu was in 2001 against Zab.
His team have since urged him not to come out of retirement becuase the y believe he's shot.
Beating Tyszu wasn't that big a deal. A good achievement yes, but Tyszu was on the slide, it's fact.
Yeah but still... No better than a faded
Vargas? :headscratch: :-\
Bilbo? :'( :shakehead:
;)
Vargas had only ever lost to two fighters prior to meeting with Shane both hall of famers in De La Hoya and Trinidad.
Coming into the first Mosely fight he had won 4 straight since being knocked out in the 11th round by De La Hoya, He beat Javier Castillejo just prior to fighting Mosely and he was no joke, certainly up there with the likes of Ben Takie and Sharmba Mitchell, he knocked out Felix Sturm last year after all to win the WBA middlewight title!
:coolclick:
yea how shane moves up to higher weight classes and knocks out a guy like vargas is impressive, hatton doesn't even want to leave 140, shane wouldn't give a damn he'd clim as high as he can in division to fight better oppenents. and still his only lost to great fighters(forrest and winky) and still has the balls and competetive drive to still want rematch even when its clear his style is perfect for forrest and winky.(to lose to)

Right now at this very moment, there is no rational explanation to have Hatton rated higher than Mosley.
the fact hatton is undefeated and is getting hype nowadays is whats holding him in the p4p ranks, but shane has beaten and fought ten times better oppenent then hatton has, and at 35 just dominated a guy that should of beat hatton just a few months ago.
Name one shane mosley victim who is ten times better than Kostya Tszyu? I agree with everything else. Shane is a helluva fighter but that comment is absurd
