    De La Hoya is the better fighter by far imo, he's the first guy who has shown people a legit way to unsettle mayweather, no swarming wont be enough. I keep saying this

    Hatton only has ONE way to win the fight, plough forward and hope he doesnt get picked off

    Mayweather has multiple ways to win the fight.

    I think in his heart he knows he can lose, its the way he praises mayweather, almost like he is in awe of him, ive noticed that in his interviews, he always brings up Floyd.

      I am sure Hatton knows losing is a possibility against PBF, but on the same token Hatton i am sure is confident that he knows how to beat him. Hatton does what he does well and it might be enough. PBF might even choose the wrong way to box Hatton. There is a fine line between winning and losing. PBF if he continues to box will lose eventually and to say the loss will be to Hatton wouldnt exactly shock me to death.

        Anything can happen, look if mayweather fights on he will lose, most fighters lose at some point (the ones who fight proper fighters), its how they deal with it which matters.

        Yes Hatton could win if floyd boxes shockingly, goes old, gets shot, etc,

        If floyd's physical strength is fine, and he adjusts well to moving down a weight, doesnt lose speed and power (like what happened to roy jones) i cant see Hatton winning, Skill for Skill, it doesnt make sense imo.

          Hardly any of you answered my question. Again, I wasnt asking are they good enough. I was asking would either of them really step up and demand the fight because so far they havent. They always talk about it down the line.

          I disagree with everyone who thinks Floyd will only come back for Oscar. Despite all that crap Floyd talks, he is a fighter. Dude trains non stop and theres no way he's just going to stop doing that. Even his Uncle said there's too much money around to retire. You dont think his Uncle and people around him will talk him into fighting these guys.

          I also disagree with people saying those guys can come close to him or Floyd will lose. The only guy I think that can beat him is Winky but I dont think that fight will come off. Winky could win just strictly because of the size factor. I think Floyd cruised against Oscar and still won. I think he was worried alot about the size difference. He would be much more active in a rematch and I think he would dominate him. Besides Winky, Mosley is the only guy who has a shot but I dont think he has enough D or his strategy is good enough to win.

          There is no way in hell that Floyd would turn down a Cotto fight. Arum would put up a ton of money and Floyd thinks he can kill him. So do I. The Hatton fight is more tricky. Again, there is no way in hell that Floyd would turn down a oppurtunity of fighting Hatton because he thinks it is a easy fight but the problem is that I dont know if the money will be there. Hatton isnt a big name in America and Floyd wont go over seas. I think Hatton will have to pay Floyd a crazy amount of money to come over to fight him and thats the only way it happeneds. I think that is very possible though because Floyd's name is huge over there, they have huge arenas, and it will be a major thing in that country for Floyd to fight there boy.

          Still, Cotto & Hatton are not Oscar and I dont know why people keep comparing. Floyd looked very solidly built in that Oscar fight and had nice pop. I think he will be a full blown WW next time he fights and those 2 guys wont posses anywhere near the size of a Delhoya.

            If Floyd wants to be remembered as p4p #1 he needs to beat Hatton, Cotto, Mosley and De La Hoya in a rematch. Then he has the right to say hes up there with Leonard and the rest.

              Here is my problem though. No one ever gives him credit for trying to make a fight. He's the only guy no one gives credit to for that. He's been turned down alot by guys but no one cares. He's tried to get a fight with every guy you just named and all of them said no at one point but he gets no credit for him. If your not going to give him credit then atleast stop ripping him for it. I hate it when people does that. Floyd tried to get a Oscar fight for years, Floyd tried to get Mosley just before this Oscar fight but he said no, Floyd has tried to get Hatton many times but Hatton has said no, and we all know that Arum wouldnt let Cotto anywhere near him. Thats why I dont think its fair. Then, if those guys say no all those times but then at the end they say yes and he says its too late then everyone will call him a ***** but no one said anything to those guys. I just dont get that

But after that big ass pay day I don't see why he would want to risk his hands and undefeated record again.
                Floyd did fight cotto genius but once he fought him you discredited the win, lol @ you saying first he wont fight hatton, and when he does, you claim hatton was overrated. Mosley-turned-Cotto bandwagoners are idiots
