Why would the mongoose be in trouble in a battle with a rattlesnake?

The mongoose typically has three serrated claws that would slash at the predator normally. The rattlesnake's tough skin reduces the strength of the blow, preventing these claws from penetrating the inner sanctum of the rattlesnake's oral pectum. The rattlesnake could retaliate by using his poisonous fangs and the spotted rattlesnake venom could kill a mongoose with 0.246 of a drop.
