    This is a DUMBASS comparison.

    Rudduck's ENTIRE rep was built on TWO LOSSES to Tyson.

    Dude you're smarter than that. Stop playing dumb.

    Ruddock, like Shane, was a proven veteran..and truth machine, with proven durability and competitiveness at the highest level (Tyson and Bonecrusher Smith etc). He had proven for many years to be one of the top 3 or 4 heavyweights in the world. However he was slightly past his prime although it didn't seem to matter to his fans.

    Lennox Lewis was a rising star with bags of talent, but he hadn't really fought any of the top guys and it was seen by some as perhaps too much of a step up for him at that time.

    In THIS context, Cotto vs Mosley is very similar.

    This fight is Cotto's night to shine: the night he proves his talent against his era's (and division's) proven truth machine.

    The results will be similar...

    YUP....fighting Hatton is the easiest fight for Mayweather..good/tough fight..but easier than the other two(mosley&COtto)...

    Comparing Rudduck to Mosley is just plain ignorant.

    That alone displays your continued bias towards Mosley.

    Using your logic, you might as well compare Lennox Lewis to Tex Cobb.

    False. Hatton matches up better with Mayweather than Cotto does. Cotto might beat Hatton head to head (maybe), but Hatton has a much better chance against Floyd than Cotto would have. Hatton's quicker hands and feet give him a better chance. Not to mention his grappling style which makes him a pain in the ass to fight as well.

    Hatton has never face anyone as fast(hand&feet) as Mayweather not even close...when the first bell rings he will be a lost puppy looking for someone to cuddle. Mayweather will use the jab/and lead right to win a decision. Hatton will clinch hard for a few rounds though....unable to cut off the ring.

    That's exactly how I feel Val. To be honest, I would pick Cotto over Hatton. Too strong, skilled and powerful.

    But hatton matches up FAR better with Floyd. Like you said, much quicker hands and feet, but the main point that most people don't seem to realize is floyd has a field day with patient fighters that pick their spots, floyd is always one step ahead, controlling them, and floyd hates pressure.

    Cotto is a patient stalker, Hatton is a pressure fighter, it's that simple.

    Tell me bout it. He cant be taken seriously regarding Mosley. Back in the day(03) he swore Mayorga would beat Shane, and he even said Thiam could beat Shane.

    Cotto by decision.

    A late stoppage would not surprise me, but I'll make Cotto UD 12, 8-4 type fight, my official pick.

    You miss the point. Hatton's feet and hands are fast compared to Cotto's, not Mayweather's. He will be able to put harder pressure on Floyd than Cotto could.

    Agreed 100%, although I make Hatton-Cotto a 50/50 fight. Stylewise though, Hatton is a tougher fight for Floyd.

    Cotto would stop Hatton at 147. I have little doubt of that. Back when Cotto fought at 140, it would have been a pick em, but Miguel would be too much for Ricky now IMO.

    But Hatton DOES have a better chance of beting Floyd than Cotto does, but not by much. Hatton's swarming could serve him well against Floyd, whereas Cotto's patience most likely allows Floyd to box circles around him. Still I dont see Ricky being able to beat Floyd.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    Judging by his fights with Judah (Lost 5 + 1 knockdown), Bumdomir (Truelly Vernon's son), and Oscar (SD isn't worthy of Mosely's piss from a tall tower), it's not a matter of saying "who has a chance to beat Fraud"..it's more of a question wether Fraud has any chance of beating Mosely really,.. and it's more of a question in regards to Cotto, Hatton, Williams, Margarito, Cintron,..wether the referee will enforce the rules, or wether they can hoe this bitch down and nail him in the spine.:dunno:

    *Ethegenic screaming!!:eeeek: Look...Fraud sure has a macabre resume, when juxtaposed next to Mosely's lurid scribe of vigor, well, I'm afraid your "reserve" actually "shadows" your starter Mr 0! :eeeek: ...

    Cotto doesn't "=" Lennox Lewis either.

    Consider the context of the analogy. Some people have taken their time to understand it...I would have expected the same from you quite honestly...:nono:

    The context is flawed and your insistence on sticking with it makes you look even worse.

    Mosley is a Hall of Fame fighter nearing the end of his career looking to add the name of a young champion to his resume.

    Rudduck was an underachieving, one dimensional, power-punching heavyweight who made his name off two consecutive losses to the best fighter he'd ever faced.

    The fact that you can't understand this goes a long way towards showing how incredibly biased you are. The only comparable "context" is that Mosley and Rudduck are both Black.

    "However"

    Rudduck is more closely related to Lemmon because he's not only Jamaican, but he also spent a great deal of time in Canada. Also, Cotto and Mosley were both born in their native countries and fought for their respective countries in the Olympics.

    Is that the analogy you're impishly holding on to?

    No other scenario fits Sly.

    Give it a rest already.

    did Vargas have a lot of success against Mosley in their first fight?

    Before or after the eye was swollen?

    I thought Shane was ahead when the fight ended. Vargas had moments, but I thought Shane was in control of the fight.

    You didn't? :dunno:
