And this definately cannot be a ****ing excuse, because Hatton is coming up from 140... at least Mayweather has more experience north of 140 than Hatton.
    Good answer except for the last part. I dont think its a excuse anyway but make no mistake that Hatton is still the bigger man. Dont make it seem like he is coming up to fight Floyd when he walks around at a 180 pounds and Floyd walks around at like 148. Hatton definatly knows who he's fighting. There's a reason why his camp said that they dont think there a real WW and they wouldnt fight anyone else at that weight except for Floyd. They know that he's not a real WW eighter and that Ricky will have the size advantage

      Come on now, we all know that Hatton beat Tszyu before Floyd even left 140

          I agree both Hatton and Floyd are prime , they both could even be just before thier very best if anything .

            Floyd still has about 12 weeks left of his prime.

              You are slowly going from respectable poster to blind, objective, and ignorant. Azteca is at least makes sense with his opinions, you are just making no sense whatsoever.

                  Just because you keep saying it, doesn't mean that it will become true. All it becomes is boring.

                  FROM 4:45, PBF IS CLEARLY CALLING OUT TSZYU AND HATTON. Please provide any evidence that Tszyu wanted Floyd.

                  If you can't, you have been exposed.
