Don't go that far Dios. Your almost religious devotion to Floyd makes for some hysterical reading. If Floyd does get beat, then I would suggest that you take down that gigantic poster of Mayweather that you have on your bedroom wall (beside the stack of MAD Magazines) and come over to the Hatton camp. You'll be welcome here.
If Floyd loses to Hatton, I will have to throw away my computer and cell phone.
I went to school with a guy from LSE, and I've been giving him shit as well.
Hey, did you see the taylor-pavlik countdown?
Yea, pretty good preview for a regular hbo fight.
Now, if hatton goes in and gives PBF the fight of his life and loses, I will admit I was wrong and give Ricky credit for a valiant effort.

Imagine a message board world after a beaten floyd. It's not even worth coming on and trying to debate animals in a zoo. You're in a win/win situation.
Hell even Bigtime and co. will step their game up at the other board even though I don't see much activity over there lately
It wouldnt be an upset for people in the UK because we know how good hatton is ive been to most of his fights and he is on the same level as floyd without doubt. It would be an upset to most people in the US as about 70% think floyd is unbeatable. ive noticed alot of people from the US supporting hatton which is cool.
That's still significantly more punches per round than Mayweather throws in his most active fights, and these were Hatton's worst performances.
In any case I think I'm pretty fair when it comes to assessing Floyd's ability. I know that not everyone is, but I'm more fair in assessing Floyd than you are in assessing Hatton. You acknowledged that Hatton has ability in only one thread ever. Every other comment you have made is geared to discrediting him.
In my personal experience, its not even worth arguing with Dios, squealpiggy. He'll either misquote you, or call you a name like a "sissy" or "limey" when he knows he's beat. Then he'll try to wager bets, or resort to "facts" about past mayweather fights, and try to drown you in his boxing knowledge. In fact, Im expecting a sarcastic reply to this post (which I'll ignore).
Just try to ignore his rants, cos he'll make sure you NEVER get the last word.
What's fair is fair. If we will use Baldomir & Delahoya as examples of how PBF fights, then it is time-appropriate to use Collazo and Urango for Hatton.
Right?
If we use the Tackie/Oliveira model for Hatton ('03/'04), then we must use the Corley/NDou model as examples of how PBF fights.
What is your preference?
BTW, Hatton threw 63/round for Urango and 62/round for Collazo. You may want to cut back on those Exaggeration Tabs.

If u were in their he would break ur jaw. Its not his fault he's so much better than today's guys.
Man get Mayweathers dick out of your mouth... your sucking that thing dry son!
Unless you are over 170 lbs and have a 6 feet + talle frame you shouldn't be talking like that unless you just started watching boxing and are judging floyd based on his baldomir-delahoya performances.
He fights the way he fights against bigger guys but if you're a small dude you're getting your ass tore up Sin
well im 6'4 270 pounds i could kill floyd seriously ive hurt people bigger than me.
Ricky Hatton hugs and clinches 20 times per round...and I'm not exaggerating one bit.
He also throws twice as many punches per round as Mayweather on average.
Incidentally it's unfair to keep posting the same clip of a late round against Urango to illustrate Hatton fighting. Why not show some footage of him fighting Ben Tackie or Ray Oliviera and count how many times he clinches?
He usually only throws 350-400 punches a fight.
350 divided by 12 is what???
Oh, and I was exageratting a little bit.
More than a bit, nonetheless I was still saying Willie Pep could throw 20 a round and still win fights, in his era at least.
Mayweather has already grown into his frame. You have to remember, 10 years ago when Mayweather was at 130, he was still a growing young man. Pac would have to blow up to at least 140 imo to even consider a bout with Floyd, in which case he'd lose in embarrassing fashion.
Pac was weighing 140 at fight night against morales in their third fight so no he could be in great shape at 140.

It would be an upset, be let's be serious, it wouldn't be Tyson-Douglas material. It wouldn't even be one of the bigger upsets in sports this year.
Wouldn't Kessler beating Calzaghe be a bigger upset?
Kessler Calzaghe is quite a bit closer than Hatton Mayweather. Hatton winning would be an upset although I wouldnt be that surprised. Mayeathers style has changed enough for him to be beaten by someone like Hatton.
I disagree as to both of those statement. Pacquiao is not "one dimensional" IMO. Mayweather has explained in interviews what he means by "one dimensional." He considers that to be a boxer that comes straight forward. Pacquiao gives you all angles. Athletically, that kid is amazing. This would be a great match-up if the weight was right.
Paquao's maing attribute is his punching power. Anything above super-feather and he can't crack an egg. Just look at Diego corrales who was one of the hardest punchers at super-feather/lightweight. His power was completely gone at 147 even though he was a tall fighter. He was competitive vs Clottey but lacked power in that fight. Castillo at 140 in his 2 fights at 140 had no power at all.
Paquao might carry his speed to the upper divisions but without any defensive skills and any real boxing fundementals he can't compete with any decent 140/147 fighter. Floyd has also lost his punching power but his boxing skills carried him, even at 154 where he has not business beinga at.
I doubt Mayweather wants him. He said Pacquiao is a good fighter, but is pretty one-dimensional, which I think is pretty on-point. I think Mayweather could box circles around him easily.

I don't see Pacquiao going up just to meed Mayweather. If Mayweather wants him, he will have to lose alot of weight. IMO
