    Floyd is lookin' out for his investments.

    Right now, money-wise, a Hatton fight is what the fans have been clamoring for.

    Not sure what a Mosely fight would command.

      Hatton maybe a good fighter(some seem to think that so i wil give that to u), but its gonna take a great fighter to beat PBF. not someone looking to walk in a catch him with something. alot of fighters have tried that and failed. what makes pretty ricky different? lets not forget PBF used his jab against a bigger fighter (ODH) to set up straight right hands consistently down the middle. whats stopping him from doign the same thing to a smaller guy with less movement? damn the more i think talk about this fight the more im discovering this is a major mismatch. But to all the PBF haters, Floyd sends u his thanks for hyping up Hatton. more Hatton hype and believers trying to tell the world that hatton has a chance, the more "easy" money Mayweather receives for this fight

        thats right on the money. floyd is gonna tag his face with so many straight rights its going to get ugly. depending on how much floyd lets his hands go, this can either end in mid round or late round TKO. i would bet on that

          i think FLoyd will let his hands go against pretty ricky b/c he knows he cant be hurt with one punch from him. he had to be cautious against ODH b/c of his pwerful left hook. whats does Rick have to offer in the way of power. good body shot against Castillo tho, but a perfect body shot will put anyone down, ask Oscar(wait dont ask him)..lol...Plus PBF knows he could hit hatton with any and everythiing he throws. if ricky opens up and tries to throw 60-80 punches a round against Floyd(for the 1st 2 rounds b/c after the beating he will get his punch rate will go down), ricky fans will be sceaming at their TVs like teddy atlast begging for the fight to be stopped.

            EliteSoldier, stop ****ing posting your ******.
            I believe Floyd would be the clear favorite coming into this fight.

              How is this ducking Mosley? I don't see how you can fight any P4P level fighter and claim it's to duck someone else...

                if hatton just rushes forwarded and use the hit and hold tecnique then i think he has a shot of beating mayweather. i think it could be the toughest fight for mayweather. i think hatton is tougher than mosley because of his style. i dont think mayweather can handle the pressure. i think cotto would beat him for sure and possibly margarito to.

                  floyd is the favorite, but hatton can give him a tough fight.... close decision for pbf, 116-112 or 115-113

                    If he does that he'll get knocked out.

                    LOL at you saying Mayweather can't handle pressure. It seems to me every Floyd fight people say that you have to pressure Mayweather, but thats not a good strategy because it's always failed. Corrales failed, Chavez failed, Dlh, Castillo failed ( the first fight was his, but Mayweather had one arm,) Baldomir failed.

                    The guy who had the best success against floyd for 4 rounds was Judah, and he didn't bull-rush. Dlh had success when he jabbed Mayweather back, but Hatton cant do that.

                      I'd make PBF a favorite, maybe 2-1 or 5-2 or something.
