If you haven't lost a bet, then you've never made a bet...moron. Stay out of it. Sweet Pee has been antagonizing Addison for days now because Addie had the balls to pick Hatton to beat Floyd and follow it up with grounds.
The Mayweatherites don't really mind if you pick Hatton, but they HATE IT when you support your pick with facts. Facts like these: Floyd dodged Tszyu because he thought he would get his ass kicked. Hatton beat Tszyu, albeit an older Tszyu. Thus, according to Aristotlian logic: Hatton has a reasonable chance to beat Floyd. Get it??
I already made the logical point that Tszyu was expected to beat Hatton, and Mayweather was likely going to make a fight with him after he beat Gatti... but establishing his name as a PPV star was important to him also... and he figured he could cash in on the Tszyu fight more if he was already a PPV star.
So Floyd's plan at 140 was:
Win eliminators to fight for the WBC title, setting up a fight with Gatti.
Beat the **** out of Gatti on PPV, and get hella recognition for it.
Fight Tszyu for the real championship.
Alas, we all know what happened with Tszyu.
So he tried to fight Hatton, and Hatton said he needed a few fights first... so Floyd moved on. Now he's going to take care of what he didn't at 140.
I have a feeling that if Hatton beats Floyd, you will still bring up this Tszyu thing.
SO
Question: Would you criticize Floyd for not fighting Judah if he had only beaten Baldomir? Because the consensus is that Judah is a loser, and that fight doesn't get Floyd much.Comment

Hatton has the style and the power to KO Mayweather. He is also very good at the style of pressure fighting he chooses to use. Mayweather struggles against strong opposition who pin him down and pressure him constantly. Couple that with Hattons rib crunching hooks, which he ALWAYS lands no matter how slippery his opponent, Floyds unknown ability to take several solid body punches and the fact Hatton has the stamina to sustain the same pace all night long, and logic has to prevail. Hatton to win late when Mayweather retires from boxing sat on his stool.Comment
