    The fight would be at 140. Mayweather can make 140 easily.

It's pretty obvious to tell you are on Mayweathers jock strap. Boxing isn't black and white like that. If you dont believe me watch Ray Leonard and Duran the first time. Ray Leonard seemed to have every conceivable advantage (at least to morons like you) and look what happened.
      What is with the insults? Do you even ****in' know me? Seriously?
      As far as Duran and Leonard.. It funny you say I'm on Mayweathers jock when I've said I don't even like his ****in' personality, several times. You call me ajock rider yet you BASICALLY just compared Hatton to the greatest (or second greatest, depending who you ask) Latin fighter of all time. And I'm ridin' someones jock? lol.. As far as Mayweathers chin.. Tel me who rocked Mayweather, And I mean the way Hatton got rocked by Callozo..Don't worry, I'll wait.. (By the way, I highly doubt Mayweather goes down to 140. Why would he, the guy with the power in this negotiation.. give awya an advantage?)

Hatton loves to come forward, to work inside, to go to the body - and against men his own size his method of attack works for him. When you fight someone slightly bigger, or god forbid bigger and slicker- well, Hatton just can't handle it.

        In actuality a part of me really hopes you guys are right and Ricky shows me something I doubt he has. Why? Because that would make it a fight. If Mayweather is ever going to be an amazing, all time great fighter, he needs to be pushed. Floyd needs an opponent to make him sweat, back him into a corner, and threaten to make him look foolish. That's when great fighters dig down and show us what they are made of. Up to now Mayweather has been able to coast. If a pressure fighter can really make Floyd fight for his paycheck, well, then we'll see if he has the spirit to pull out a hard, tough victory or if he crumbles. In that sense I'd be glad to see Ricky prove me wrong.
        So you don't think PBF was pushed in the first Castillo fight when he fought him with a torn rotar cuff and still didn't quit?

          Why would PBF go down to 140 when PBF is the one holding all the negotiating power? The fight is not happening at 140 or a catch weight. Why does Hatton and other fighters complain about fighting at higher weights but on fight nights they weigh in at weights they complain are to big for them?

          Also Sugar Ray Leonard fought Duran's fight in the first match thats really why he lost. In the second fight he fought to his advantages and won so what are you really saying.

            Sure, he had to fight through an injury- but it's not the same. I want to see him pushed by someone as good as him- if not better- someone stronger, maybe faster- someone with better endurance. A fighter who brings the tools to beat him and makes him work for his win. Yes, the Castillo fights are the closest example to that- I agree- but I mean now that he's pound for pound and screaming about being best...let's see him pressed again.

              Seeing him pressed is good. Is Hatton the guy to do that? I don't know. I just don't think he's the guy to do that.. I think that guy is Cotto. I could be wrong, and will admit it, if I am.

                He got rocked by Corley just as bad as Hatton got rocked by Collazo so there goes your ****ty argument.

                And numbskull I wasn't comparing Hatton to Duran. People thought the same thing when Hatton fought Tszyu. Tszyu apparentely had all the advantages except age. Tell me what happened in that bout.

                    I can agree with you wanting to see him pressed again. I just find it funny that people think all his fights were easy and he has never had to dig deep for a win when he has. PBF also said the Emanuel Augutus was one of his toughest fights and made him dig deep for the win.
