    He didn't have to defend anything, he was the champ everyone knew that, it was a career high pay day that made him defend it. The person that brings in the most money should call the shots not were there ranked, look at De La Hoya, Gatti they called the shots those nights, Mayweather isn't popular by any stretch of the imagination, a ring is a ring at the end of the day, its a damn shame money gets the best of people, what the **** does mayweather want more and more for buy a jumbo jet? or maybe pay his kids welfare for a change.

      It's not just about Floyd, it's kind of a general question.

      Why would Oscar offer to come over, like he just has?

        The only person who calls the shots on his fights regardless of rank is De La Hoya, period. The rest of what you said is illogical.

          Bottom line is that Hatton will always shine with his style against people with slow foot movement, in the same way Juan Diaz will. But against movers with better technique who can time his lunges, he will fall short. I don't know how a guy can win with his style of lunging in without feints, but so far he's done so.

                So why's Oscar offering to come over when he's just earned $50m or whatever it was?

                It's not like Floyd's ever going to earn $20m again unless he fights DLH, no matter where he fights.

                  I havent seen oscar do anything of the sort, ive seen bull****y internet rumours from BBC and Team Hatton tho. only deluisional people that think De La Hoya would actually come over here to fight hatton, most people know its all talk and is highly unlikely at best.

                  Team Hatton talk alot, apparently they are in talks with Joe Louis's corpse over a possible showdown at the new wembley.

                  They just gotta sort the money out.

                    I haven't seen DLH denying Hatton's take on their conversation, have you?

                    No response to the rest of my post? Using Floyd's $20m purse is a bull**** argument, and you know it.

                      I havent seen de la hoya even talk about it, is there any evidence to suggest they even spoke about it?

                      Seriously, Hatton Vs Joe Louis at wembley in Oct, you heard it here first.
