Are you talking about pre- or post-fight?

If you're talking about pre-fight talk you also have to believe that Mosley was still a very dangerous fighter on May 7th, since Roach said so.

I think they were about even.

Mayweather made Hatton move up to welter, Pacquiao fought him at 140 His natural weight.

Wrong Hatton looked better at 140 because he was fighting smaller fighters, you telling me that a Hatton that has to weight drain 14lbs is fitter than a Hatton that has to drain 7lbs?

LOL-you don't want to see pictures of Ricky's "natural" weight...if you did,then you would understand that Hatton had an easier time making 147 than 140...in fact,the 2 guys Ricky fought after Floyd couldn't pack a punch (even though one of them severely rocked him) to expose him again.The first time (after the Floyd fight) Ricky faced someone who could punch,he got destroyed...draining down in weight between fights would have done something to him as well...especially with how big he was getting.

Using your logic,we may as well say Floyd fought the better Marquez because he was undefeated at welterweight until he fought Floyd-lol

Hatton was the lineal champ at 140 after he beat Kosta. Mayweather was scared to fight him at that weight. At 140 Hatton would've KO'd Mayweather and Pacquiao send the lineal 140 champ into retirement.

To this day Pac is still the lineal 140 champ.

There's a good version of hatton?

IMO pac and floyd faced the same version...

After the Mayweather beating Hatton suffered from depression it shattered his mind set. He broke up his original team and started being trained by crackhead Mayweather senior who was trying to teach an old dog new tricks. How on earth against that background can you say "Cowards will say Floyd"?
