    Perhaps it is nationality. I've definitely seen more of Hatton than I have of Floyd and I've seen Hatton adapting and doing whatever it takes to win. I am confident that Hatton could do that against Floyd, which is why I would bet on him to win. However I am not delusional, I'm perfectly well aware of the fact that PBF would very rightly be the favourite. I just feel that Hatton would be able to step up to the game and have the night of his life and if Floyd isnt at 100%, then I think that Hatton would take advantage.

      Hmm yeah maybe, i'll be honest, im not sure Kosta Tsuyu is the fighter people think he is,

      He didnt wanna fight mayweather, people dont bring that up, Mayweather called him out several times, he had took hatton instead thinking it would be an easy night,

      Skills wise i dont see the hype with Tsuyu, but ive seen little of him to make that claim competant,

      Dont think Hatton has fought one slick fighter, dont think he wants to fight a slick fighter, dont think he could handle a slick fighter.

      The idea that he will stay at 140 and not fight the WBC champion is hillarious, he doesnt even wanna unify his own divsion.

      Bet ya if harris beat Witter, he would consider fighting Harris. lol.

        To be fair though, there's no pleasing the fans. People dont want him to chase titles, they want him to make big fights. So he makes a pretty big fight and they whinge cos he hasnt unified his division.

          A junior witter fight is a big fight in britain, and he can unify,

          What other fights does he take at 140? , Please tell me.

          He talking about Fighting De La Hoya but he cant even get in the ring with Junior Witter?

            He doesnt take any fight at 140 after Castillo as far as I'm concerned. He's going to be looking for 2 or 3 big fights and he'll likely have to step up to 147 for that. Fighting Witter would seem like a step backwards to me.

              Let's keep it real for a second. Hatton is way too slow for a guy like Floyd. Again, we are talking about a fighter that had loads of trouble against Collazo. He was rocked a few times and beat to the punch often. Floyd is much faster and stronger than Collazo. Do you really think Hatton has a chance against Floyd?

                Then why did he move out of 147 in the first place?

                It would make more sense for him to move up there are bigger fights out there at 147 than with Castillo at 140.

                The other guy who i would really pick over Hatton is Judah, i think Judah would hurt him so bad, but hatton would have more chance in that fight,

                Judah is a superquick southpaw, hatton wouldnt like that.

                  Oscar whould destroy Hatton, and Floyd whould most likely win a UD or TKO him late.

                    After watching the DLH fight, I've come to the conclusion to have a chance against Floyd you have to come close to matching his speed. I used to think if anybody pressured him they could win, but that's what DLH tried to do and it didn't work. Hatton couldn't match Floyd's speed, and thus Floyd would win by UD.

                      This type of stuff really does bore me. It leads to people having to justify the performance, which people then claim to be 'excuses', where if people didnt just focus so much on ONE fight, there would be no need for excuses.

                      Hatton had a bad night against Collazo. He has never really struggled in any other fight. PBF had a bad night against Castillo. Dont judge a fighter based off one fight and dont use triangular logic.

                      Simple fact was that he wasnt ready for 147. Really, after Castillo there isnt really anyone else worth fighting at 140, so he doesnt have much choice. He'll have to prepare well and he'll have to get settled at that weight.

                      Hatton was in with Tyszu and he won. DLH has not beaten many of his top guys. Stop the triangular logic madness.
