    Oscar is BY FAR the best Floyd has faced. After that I think Hatton takes it, prime Castillo was never quite as good as Ricky is, and certainly not Corrales, he's not even close. Judah maybe because he's a tough matchup for Floyd, but overall he's no better than Hatton.
    I think Castillo is slightly better than Hatton. He dominated a string of top opposition at 135 while Hatton has basically lived off his win over Tszyu. Hatton has struggled with guys like Urango, Maussa, and Collazo while Castillo was beating guys like Julio Diaz, Juan Lazcano, Joel Casamayor, and Chico Corrales in succession...

      Another thing, this is an intelligent debate forum, so don't call me a jerk, because you don't know me. I demand an opinion, and I have the right to one.

      Also, it's 'nonsense' you ****ing illiterate.



      you just totaly contradicted yourself there


      anyway back to your opinion you argue that these guys are better than Hatton but so far the only reasoning you have offered for this is that they have been in more wars

      so do you also think Gatti is better than Mayweather for the same reason?

      Hummmmm thought not. as for saying im illiterate hardly and yes you are a jerk

            I think Hatton could be one of the best fighters Mayweather has met so far..I aint taking anything away from the other guys Castillo Juda and so on..I have seen all Of Hattons fights also, And its the way he deals with fighters that gives him the edge...If there is a kink in Mayweathers armer, Then Hatton will train with that in mind, and he will train to make it one punishing kink which will feel like a dent to Mayweather....You must remember Hatton is not ****** at all he knows what Mayweather is about like he knew what Castillo and Kosta was about also..Watch the Castillo fight again and you will see what his doing...That punch he dropped Castillo with was ****ing A class, you wont see it any better than that. Hatton always has a game plan and he always sticks to it. And wins. Will he be the best fighter Mayweather has fought...He could well be

              Here's why Gatti was better than Hatton - he was quicker, he was more ring smart, he had a better resume and he scrapped anyone and everyone.

              Here's why Hatton isn't as good as Gatti was - he's dodged everyone, he's fought three good fighters and struggled, two who were shot. He's a hugger, he has a questionable chin and he's slow. He's been troubled in his last three fights against average boxers and he's heading for a fall.

              As for the Mayweather argument, that's you putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

              By the way it's 'I'm', you ****ing illiterate jerk. Where did your education come from?

                [QUOTE=kayjay;2607588]Prime DLH would have been tougher, but the DLH we saw on May 5 was far from washed up. I'm convinced he could still crush the remainder of the guys at 147 & 154.
                Chico was exciting, but could he handle guys as big as him? Really he could have fought someone like Hatton at 140.[/QUOE]

                Shane Mosley?

                  Well damnit, I voted 3rd best, but I am editing that now. My rankings go:

                  1. Oscar De La Hoya
                  2. Diego Corrales
                  3. Genaro Hernandez
                  4. Ricky Hatton
                  5. Jose Luis Castillo
                  6. Jesus Chavez
                  7. Zab Judah
