Barry McGuigan reckons Shane Mosley is the most likeliest opponent for Hatton next. Read in Boxing News that Mosley wants one more fight & will then hang up the gloves.

If I were Mosley, I'd be thinking a win over Hatton would be a great way to finish my career. For Hatton, it's a chance to be victorious over an elite fighter, someone who's been at the top for a long time etc.

How likely is it that Mosley is next & how does the fight go?

Style wise I think Hatton is all wrong for Mosley. Shane LOVES being the bigger man and hates a jabber (hisonly two defeats). Hatton will be the smaller man and his jab isn't his best weapon.

I believe Shane Mosley has all the attributes to beat Hatton fairly convincingly, he's got timing, speed and a punch that will make Hatton think twice before launching an attack.

Based on what I saw on Saturday, I think Hatton would have a very good chance against Mayweather at Light Welter or Welter.

Billy Graham is too astute (in boxing terms) to let this fight happen, surely?

Out of the elite at 140 and 147 Mosley is the LAST guy I would match the Hitman against.

As others have said, stylistically he is all wrong for Hatton.

Stear clear I would say, there must be better options.
Cotto would be my choice, a victory there could tee up a mega fight with a DLH or PBF. (I would be booking my ticket to NY the day the fight was announced as well - it would be an unmissable spectacle..)
