For Mayweather's next fight, He should either take on Hatton, Judah, or Margarito.
If He takes on any other fighter, there is simply NO excuse. He has beaten the Gatti's, the Corley's, the Ndou's of the world. It's time for him to step up and take on a real contender.
Thoughts?
hmm
After Floyd's performance vs Sharmba, I have serious doubts about Floyd beating even Judah. Judah is dumber than Floyd, but Judah has the reach, power, and speed to really fuck Floyd up. Floyd doesn't even have a welterweight chin. He started at 130 for crap's sake, and Judah can fucking POP.
Margarito would easily defeat Floyd as I've said all along. Call him a plodder al you want. That's what they said about Castillo.
Hatton I would have to favor vs Floyd now. It's a tough fight to call, but Floyd looks somewhat confused when dealt an all out assault.
Cotto will fight Mayweather by the end of 2006 if Hatton or Judah haven't already beaten Floyd and I think Floyd has too much speed for Margarito, it would be Gatti part II with Margarito having a puncher's chance of hurting Mayweather with a shot and KO.
You really think Cotto will fight Mayweather by the end of 2006?
Keep thinking that..

I don't get it..
About 3 days ago you said Floyd shouldn't fight Margarito...and that he doesn't need too....now your saying he should?
Well who else should He fight? He's got to fight someone in the top 3 in either 147 or 140.
Well the way I see it.
Cotto's management will NEVER match Cotto up with Floyd until they feel He is ready. After that fight with Torres, there going to take it easy for at least 3-4 fights.
Mayweather will never fight Margarito because he brings nothing to the table at all. Plus even if He would decide to fight Margarito, I would give him the benefit of the doubt in this fight to beat Margarito. Floyd knows what he can/cannot do.
It's either Judah or Hatton imo, but I have a sneaking suspicion that He's going to take on anothe feather-fisted fighter in Spinks, or Mosley/Vargas.

i agree, but there may be a couple other fighters id make exceptions for

Finally, you spoke sum truth in tis thread. Good karma fo that.
There we go. Your right I did speak some sense.
Anything you can do, I can do better ;)
I picked the Pemberton KO merely because of the wins he had against Sheika via TKO. I didn't realize Pemberton had that bad of boxing skills.
Just by reading your posts its obvious you have little to no knowledge and you have never stepped in a gym before.
I will leave it at that, peewee.

wrong. Hatton is a pressure fighta. That's his style. He throws many punches per round THUS he is an aggressive fighta. He aint got killa boxing skills. His chance would be to swarm Floyd (which he does best), but Floyd has fought guy like Hatton and beat them (Castillo). You previously said Pemberton would Knockout Jeff Lacy in 5 rounds and we know what happened thurrr, so don't be ticked off if you don't convince me that Hatton would beat Floyd.
side note: Go brush yo shoulders off cuz you officially been :Pwned by Manny_P. It's an honor and should encourage you to post smarta next time!

The point is:
You've used your argument on how Floyd fights different vs. different opposition. Hatton does the exact same thing. This is why I think He has a great team, just as good as Floyd's.

TuPricipe, I thought you were a moron befo, but now I changed ma mind. YOU'RE NOW A STOOPID MORON!
So you sayin YOU NEVA said Hatton is smarta than Floyd, then why ta fuck would you bring up these posts and ta statements I higlighted?! Basically you must think Hatton is smarta than Floyd if you posts silly shyt like these. IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT, then refrain from posting nonsense. please!

Good points Manny_P.
I think your wrong about Floyd though. Floyd has shown a reluctance to fight on the inside. When Fighter's try to fight him on the inside he either
A) Stays in the pocket and outboxes them OR
B) Boxes from the outside and punishes them over 12 rounds.
In every single Hatton fight, His opponent said they will box him, but they never do.
Your underestimating Hatton greatly. He is a very confident, intelligent fighter with a GREAT team. I cannot say enough good things about this guys team, He always comes out with awesome plans.
If you look at the Tszyu fight, Hatton just pummeled him and nullified the right hand. The Tackie fight, Hatton just clearly outboxed him and the Oliviera fight Hatton just went to war with Oliviera and outhustled/brawled Oliviera.
Hatton isn't the lumbering face first bloke that most posters try to paint him to be on here. Check out how he pauses and pivots right before the moment of impact. He actually comes in at a slight angle this way and keeps his opponent off balance. That and the speed with which he closes the distance between him and his opponent is troublesome to say the least.
Also, check out how he throws a little jab on his way out. This keeps his opponent off balance so that he can get out and reset.
In turn, Floyd would be FORCED to just stick and move like He did with the 2nd fight with Castillo. Floyd is a smart fighter like you said, and this is his only option to fight Hatton.
Hatton throws many liver shots, and He would definetly slow down Floyd's speed.

Everyone is talking about Cotto and Hatton ... I think that Floyd is going up and staying up, he'll probably fight Judah. Judah's chin has been suspect since his couple of early knockdowns and we all saw what a real puncher could do to him when he fought Tszyu. I think that Floyd wants safe fights or at least his handlers do and he has always leaned toward the safer opponent when taking fights. I think that his hand problems have forced him to pick opponents who aren't expected to go 12 or if they do aren't expected to have much left.
Mayweather definitely has the tools to outclass a relative plodder like Margarito. PBF would have to be prepared to stick-and-move for 12 entire rounds (i think he could do it) while avoiding any sustained exchanges but as dangerous as Margarito is (and he's legitimately dangerous) his punches are wide and he's particularly vulnerable to lead rights and uppercuts.
Out of the three Hatton is the only one who gives Mayweather the most trouble. Judah would be a good boxing match but Mayweather outboxes him. Margarito would be eaten alive but Mayweather.
With Hatton I expect Mayweather to be moving alot more than lately and picking his shots on Hatton. Hatton will get to Mayweather at times but not enough and Mayweather works his way to a decision.
are you tryin to say that Ricky Hatton is a smarta fighta than Floyd Mayweatha?
and tryin to convince me that Hatton's team can equal Floyd's uncle Roger?
I would highly disagree on both.
Back up your statements with facts you numbskull.
Good points Manny_P.
