if flloyd wanted to...even if matthew hatton fought with the best spirit in the world, the ref would have to stop the fight early on, sheer face damage alone. but flloyd might just run again, if jmm could only land 12% of punches thrown then matt-hatt would probably be landing about 7%. and flloyds would be landing 85-90%. its not fair to ask mayweather to fight this guy, its like when calzaghe got asked to fight that bum fighter from a reality show and pissed about for 3 rounds till it was called off.
Floyd will probably carry him to the tenth and stop him. This fight will go long because Floyd has to give the UK fans there moneys worth.
WOW!
Sure UK fans get their money's worth, but his legacy tarnishes some more. How can you let a hugely inferior opponent even survive 10 rounds when you can take them out in an instant?
Yes but Marquez is a top fighter there is a huge class gap between JMM and MattHatt. Plus MattHatt is ridiculously easy to hit from what I have seen of him.
Marquez v MattHatt would be competitive at 147 imo. Not saying MattHatt would win but it would be a proper fight due to the fact Marquez isn't good at that higher weight. MattHatt is easy to hit but he'll take the punches better than Ricky because he's a genuine WW.
Floyd wasn't a genuine WW at the time either, Ricky was the heavier man in that fight. You have got to be kidding with the officiating, Floyd was whipping him from post to post, I fail to see what Cortez did that helped Floyd knock Hatton out. Hatton tried his mauling bullshit that he only ever got away with in his hometown, Cortez pulled it up.
Come on, Floyd is much more comfortable at the weight than Hatton. Hatton outworked him in a few rounds (I had it 3 Rds each with the rest even) but like Marquez even though Hatton was doing good work his punches couldn't truly hurt Floyd, despite winning belt at 147 because of his skills he NEVER looked comfortable at the weight. Oh and Cortez was a disgrace with his bias, he was just as bad with his bias towards Hopkins in the Calzaghe fight.
Floyd will probably carry him to the tenth and stop him. This fight will go long because Floyd has to give the UK fans there moneys worth.
do you think he carried Marquez?
Are you out of your mind?
Only way that happens is if Floyd is being a sadistic asshole and prolongs the beating. Do you understand the gap in class between these two? Floyd is an elite pound for pound rated fighter. "MattHatt" is like Continental level.
He couldn't stop Marquez who was a blown up 135lber. You must remember Mayweather doesn't take risks. I think it goes at least 8 rounds but we'll see.
His brother Ricky :lol1:
not a genuine WW and I'm sure the officiating will be more balanced this time round.
It's a fight that shouldn't be happening in the first place. Floyd would stop him easily.
which round?
You ever seen the Gatti fight.......well this would be part two and alot of worse because the gatti that Floyd destroyed would dominate Hatton.
that was at 140, who has Floyd stopped at 147?
