Depends on what u like. I think both fights will be good, but if I had to choose, I would say Cotto vs Mosley will have more action.

Cotto-Mosely. Watching Ricky walk down Mayweather to a late stoppage will be boring......;O)

Cotto vs Mosley will be more entertaining
Mayweather vs Hatton will be more interesting for the purist because one 0 has to go and Mayweather is p4p1
Mosley v Cotto. This fight is going to be explosive and all action. Both Hatton and Mayweather fight ugly at times, and I expect it to be a scrappy fight, with Mayweather running and Hatton looking to hold inside.

I'm more excited for Mayweather vs. Hatton. I'm interested to see Cotto and Mosley, but I like Mayweather more than either.

Here we go with the running bull. Mayweather is going to feel Hatton out for the first few rounds. By the 5th or 6th round Hatton will tire, and Mayweather will put the pressure on Hatton. This fight will be more exciting than people think.

Cotto Mosley by far because we are guaranteed a great fight. In Hatton Mayweather the possibility of it being an action packed fight are about 10% and that is if Floyd decides to make it that way.

Mosley - Cotto is the better fight.
Mayweather - Hatton will have a different aura about it.

I wouldn't necessarily restrict 'purist' to meaning someone who values undefeated records and p4p rankings contrived by journalists. I was actually going to say that Mayweather-Hatton will be the more heavily promoted of the two, but the purists will look forward to Mosley-Cotto.

ALO 2006 hatton will not tire he will be like a bull like he was against KT. As I have said on numerous occasions hatton will not tire and don't base it on the collazo fight ( only five weeks preperation) and Urango (A cold in the week leading up to the fight).:happy

I think Hatton-Mayweather is the more interesting fight as they are both undefeated and both in their prime. Cotto-Mosley may have more action but I think Mosley is past his prime and this fight won't be as competitive as many believe. Cotto is the clear favourite whereas i view hatton-pbf as a toss up.
Mosley/Cotto will be more explosive, but PBF/Hatton will probably surprise many with the amount of action...both will be great fights and it sets up an even bigger fight if the winners face each other...

haha Do you know anything about boxing? As if Hatton is going to tire by the 5th round. That is possibly the stupidest prediction I have heard yet. He is a very fit fighter and for the biggest fight in his career will come in tremendous shape. Mayweather couldn't put pressure on Baldomir, how will he do it to Hatton?

In Hatton's last two fights that went the distance he did seem to tire, so it isn't out of the question that it could happen in this fight. In the Baldo/Mayweather fight it didn't make any sense for Mayweather to put pressure on Baldo. Floyd had the clear speed advantage and Baldo has a great chin.

In terms of action Cotto vs Mosley will be the better fight. But in terms of history Mayweather vs Hatton will be remembered longer.

Cotto Mosley, If PBF pulls what he usually does and dominates in a boring fashion.

Im looking forward the SSM vs Cotto more.
No doubt Hatton vs PBF will be bigger but Cotto vs the winner should be even bigger than that.
In Hatton's last two fights that went the distance he did seem to tire, so it isn't out of the question that it could happen in this fight. In the Baldo/Mayweather fight it didn't make any sense for Mayweather to put pressure on Baldo. Floyd had the clear speed advantage and Baldo has a great chin.
:lol:
Tell me your joking. Hatton didn't look tired against Collazo. Period. He fought hard in the 12th after getting buzzed. He DEFINITELY WON"T BE TIRED BY THE 5th ROUND IN THE BIGGEST FIGHT OF HIS CAREER:patsch
I can't believe I am having this discussion.
Look at how he came into the KT fight FFS.

I say Cotto vs Mosely because of their agressive styles

Discussing the technicalities, Cotto vs Mosley may draw more attention cause it is quite unforeeable whether Miguel's sheer willpower and inherent strength will weigh down a somehow lethargic 35 year older man or Shane's trademark lightning swift, subtle movements will freeze Cotto's bonfire and engender a cascade of events that cannot be predicted or controlled by him. Mayweather vs Hatton seems simply a case of whether Floyd's super-intelligent consciousness and level of self control can set aside, outwit & take over Ricky's fast paced aggressive, rough tactics. Not being a fortune teller, I can only mention that it's not the weapons that matter so much as the man who wields the weapons...

Better fight? In terms of action Mosley-Cotto is a guaranteed war . . . an all out action fight.:yep

Since you know Cotto - Mosley has an inevitable winner which most don't know about, not even the odds makers in Vegas at this point, I believe you ought to give that info and explain shortly why is that so ... Please understand that I am not questioning your reasons as yet, just that you seem pretty sure about it and maybe I am missing something I should know about!?

Yes; Cotto/Mosley will be the safe bet.

Cotto-Mosley may have more action but I think Mosley is past his prime and this fight won't be as competitive as many believe. Cotto is the clear favourite whereas i view hatton-pbf as a toss up.
I would say precisely the opposite: Mayweather is a clear favorite whereas I view Cotto-Mosley as a toss up, pick'em fight and this last one started exactly at even odds to back up my own understanding - but as I asked another member, I really would like to know why is this fight not to be competitive? Maybe because Shane is not at his peak and Miguel is supposed to be? I don't see Shane on such a steep descending curve at this stage but he has considered retirement if he doesn't get that shot at P4P nº1 rated Floyd Mayweather soon, dat is a fact...

China_hand_Joe, I got it now since you change it from "inevitable winner" to "Cotto should win", I am not horrified at the odds cause they don't favor any fighter in particular and since Mayweather-ODLH were 2-1 favoring Floyd in Vegas, last May, but you also didn't help me makin out why should Miguel inevitably win so I am definitely sure that you unfavor Shane as well as underate Joe, at least... I will let you know why Miguel can win if he comes to soon. Cheers.

Floyd was a 95-99% favorite over Oscar, I rate Cotto in at 80-85% vs Shane -fullstop-
Shane is part of the over-rated group of Americano fighters including him, Oscar, Trinidad, Hopkins etc -fullstop- He is also getting older and is facing an equal talent who is in his prime -fullstop- Looking at the Vargas fights rather than just the Collazo fights tells me Cotto isn't fairly certain to win a somewhat tough fight -fullstop-
Dorfmeister

Officially Floyd was a 2 to 1 favorite in May 5 fight night. I just mentioned it cause those were two highly respected and rated fighters to have met just like Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley... I dare not to question your certainties cause it has a lot to do with how a particular individual views two fighters and matches their styles... I do agree that if Mosley fights like in the second Vargas fight, it is not certain that he beats Shane but that is also more or less unlikely, I give ya that. It's difficult to predict at this point cause this fight just happened now since Tony lost to Williams and Floyd opted for Ricky in December...
