    To the Floyd fans

    Lets say Hatton does beat Floyd. I want your honest answer. Would you give Hatton respect for winning, or would you say its only because floyd participated on DWTS that he won? Give me your honest answer. And please dont send "I'm not gonna worry about that because he won't lose" replies. I'm not hating on floyd I just want some of you guys honest answer if this were to happen.

      Hatton would get his respect... DWTS isn't even a part of the equation as far as I am concerned... when someone does something that puts them at a disadvantage on purpose, they are no longer able to factor that into the equation of a fight.

          It depends on how he won, if it was stolen and some BS, then no. If he hugs and hit and holds and bites, then no. But if he actually is a boxer on Dec. 8th and actually puts up a good fight where he was the better man that night, then yeah. Hell, if he lose and make sit competitive and on the edge of you r seat exciting, I would cheer him for that. I don't want to see none of that mess he pulled on Urango and Zoo

            I'm a big fan of Hatton already and have watched most of his career but I like Floyd better! If Hatton can beat PBF, I'll admit he was the better man and look forward to the rematch but I truly believe PBF will win!

              I will not allow Floyd , or any of his fans, to use the DWTS excuse. He has been questioned about the wisdom of taking that on. Mosley, Duran, Tszyu, Holyfield, Hatton, Delahoya and many, many other boxers/trainers have said they would NOT do that. So, AT MINIMUM, it should have caused Floyd to rethink that.

              You can't get advice, and then act like you didn't know. So, no excuses.


              If PBF loses to Hatton, then it diminishes him in my eyes. For me, he is teetering between "era great" and "all-time great". Any good win moves him to the latter. Any loss slides him back to the former. Or maybe even further.

              Fair?

                It goes without saying that if Hatton is up 3 rounds to 2 and the fight is stoped on an accidental headbutt that goes to the cards, then we need to do it again.

                But barring something crazy like that, it is an even slate.

                  If Hatton wins i honestly dont think that makes him the best fighter in the world although that would be most peoples impression, in my eyes he is not the most talented fighter out there and while i know there is more to Boxing than Technique and skill i think i just dont see him as the best Boxer active today and a win over PBF will not make me think otherwise

                  styles make fights

                  if you took Hattons record even with a win over PBF and placed it next to Hopkins it would not make sense to call Hatton number the 1 fighter in the world IMO ,bear in mind who bhop has just beaten

                  if Floyd lost his Title i as p4p i would hand it straight to Manny Pacquaio not Hatton
