Floyd has been fighting world class competition since he became a world champion at 18-0. You may call the Gatti's and Corley's bums but they were both world champs. Bruseles.....WBC top ranked contender.
Hatton's resume before Tszyu......38-0 fighting bums and over the hill 40 year old fighters. There is some stats for yo ass.
floyd has been fighting world class fighters since he was 18-0?
are you crazy.
floyd didnt REALLY start fighting anything close to world class fighters until about 2000-2001.
hatton fought "over the hill fighters"...
what about mayweather who took on (as you said) a war beaten gatti, an aging de la hoya (just out of his prime who almost beat him...in my opinion he DID beat him)?
true, hatton hasnt been in with exactly what i'd call world class fighters unless they were out of their prime etc. but he has fought some pretty good competition.
neither fight's resume REALLY stands out (when it comes to opponents) other than maybe:
for mayweather:
corrales, castillo, and de la hoya
two of those 3 fighters are STILL sworn by many to have beaten floyd and i agree (with at least the de la hoya fight that floyd lost the fight)
hatton fought war torn fighters too (dont get me wrong) like jose luis castillo.
all the, "who had the best record or better opponents" talk doesnt mean anything.
Just because one guy beat one guy more impressively or fought better competition doesnt exacly mean it will determine who will win (ie. buster ko's tyson, etc. etc. etc.)

so dont argue meaningless points.
Agreed. But, I will further add that Ricky Hatton fought and beat Kostya Tszyu who was top 10 p4p the year of the fight, HOF, and undefeated for 8 years. Don't want to forget about that resume raiser. That's a big one. A BIG ONE.
Mayweather (in my opinion) doesnt have the POWER at 147 to KO a ricky hatton.
true hatton's chin isnt a marciano chin but he can fight and will NOT be knocked out for a ten count (or otherwise) by a floyd mayweather.
end of story.
Who hits harder, Floyd or Tszyu? Hmm. I'd have to say Tszyu. Yep.
Frank's right. No KO for Floyd. No way.
Floyd will run and go for the UD. The public and the judges will not like it. Therefore, if it's close, the decision will go to Hatton (that's assuming Hatton hasn't taken Floyd out of there before the 12th).

Power is indeed important for a KO, but accuracy is too. Floyd could accumulate more punches on Hatton than Tszyu did.
Anyways, anyone who says KO is a bit far-fetched. I'd say TKO or decision. No way he puts Ricky down for 10.

What a bunch of longwinded nonsense. Maybe Corrales, castillo? No, not maybe, definitely. STOP HATING
