HATTON-MAYWEATHER: NOW, LATER, OR NEVER?
"STAGE SET" FOR 140 POUND MEGAFIGHT!
After doing what pretty much everyone sane expected in running circles around Arturo Gatti (39-7, 30 KO's) on Saturday night, Floyd Mayweather (34-0, 23 KO's) stands atop the sport as its premiere talent. This isn't surprising; he was that before he fought Arturo Gatti (or other recent soft touch foes Phillip N'Dou, Domingo Sosa and Henry Bruseles). However, now with the marquee win his career had lacked and Gatti's WBC 140 lb. belt, Floyd may also have the public recognition to make the fights that will further define his legacy along with increasing his wealth. The first and most important fight that can be made is also the most obvious choice...Mayweather must face World junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton (39-0, 29 KO's).
Read the Rest Here...
For the record, I picked Hatton EASY over vTszyu (and can prove it). He's not secod tier and might run Floyd late. He's no rougher than a lot of the great old lightweights (watch Lou Ambers sometime). As to a Corrales rematch...c'mon bro. That's not a good fight. Diego got beat as bad as gatti and no amount of personal drama causes that. Diego just has all the wrong style for Floyd. Besides, Hatton is THE world champ at 140, and Floyd has a chance to win FOUR real, lineal titles in the next year or so. That's a special sort of history.
give me a break cornponeio..i seen him fight eammon macgee and he's lucky eammon played the irish martyr and put his hands down and stuck out his chin .and didnt go in for the kill when he had hatton hurt.
put hatton in the states without his ref and we'll see what he can do against mayweather or corrales.
the up and comer cotto would give him problems stateside.
What do you want me to break pinocchio?
I wonder why you've chosen to only watch the Magee fight :rolleyes: You don't know much if you think that an Irishman would do an Englishman any favours and Hatton wasn't hurt in the slightest by that flash kd in the 1st minute of the fight.
That ref's only done a couple of Hatton fights BTW and guess what, he managed to win the other 37 fights without him, even though 3 of those were in the US and Germany!!
Bring on PBF and Corrales. Is it supposed to be an insult if Cotto can give him some problems?
so where should hatton fight Mayweather in Grand rapids where floyd and his mum will turn up that is it, damn his dad might not even buy a ticket LOL
Bring him to Manchester and show how pretty u are or is he going to be like his daddy roy jones and don't step out of America, in case people forgot Hatton has fought in Germnay and America where has floyd fought
fck...i'm not joking... the club fighterjourneyman shit that hatton got away with won't work against in shape speedster boxers.i'm still in shock that a second tier hatton beat an evidently old tszhu.
hatton better stay in england with that buddy ref of his if he wants to hold the belt.
LMAO. You've obviously only seen 1 Hatton fight then and you shock far too easily, plenty of people saw it coming. We'll see if KT's "evidently old" if he fights again. He didn't look too bad in his previous fight.
You've exposed yourself if you genuinely think Hatton and Massau are comparible, or was that a pathetic attempt at a wind-up?You're patently just another hater in denial.
Urban...you're talking about "more talented"...there is no more recognized name oin Floyd's record in the main...not even close. And didn't see the other Hatton thread
