Mayweather and Hatton's Careers Reversed: Would They Both Still Be Unbeaten?

[MayweatherDaMan]

Basically, if Mayweather fought all of Hatton's opponents, at the same age and time that Hatton did, and vice versa for Hatton fighting all of Mayweather's opponents at exactly the same age and time as Mayweather did, would they both be still undefeated?

Here are my predictions:

Mayweather.
The only ones that I think may trouble Mayweather, from Ricky Hatton's career, would be Kostya Tszyu, Castillo, and possibly Luis Collazo.

1)Tszyu would be old and shot, but he would still try to close Floyd down, and get in his face. Floyd might take some hard shots early on, but I think he would up the pace in the mid to late rounds and win a close points decision.

2)Collazo may prove to be tricky as he is a south paw, but I think Mayweather would work on the outside with his jab and comfortably win on points.

3)Castillo would be no where near the boxer he was when he almost beat Mayweather in Mayweathers' actual career. Therefore I think Floyd would use a similar approach as he did to Gatti, and score a wide UD or a late KO/TKO.

Mayweather would be 43-0, as is Ricky Hatton now.


Hatton.
This is a whole different story. Half a dozen or more boxers from Floyd's career could potentially upset Hatton, and I strongly doubt he would be 38-0,
like Mayweather is. These are the strongest contenders for the upset.

1)Jesus Chavez. This fight would be a war with punches being thrown at will. Hatton's tendency to cut and swell up easily, would be his downfall and Chavez would win by referee stoppage.

2) Castillo I. Ricky Hatton eased passed Castillo recently, in his actual career, but the Castillo who Mayweather fought was ten times better. It would be an exciting fight to watch with lots of action, but I think that Castillo would win a wide UD.

3)Castillo II. Ricky would now know a bit more about Castillo and be able to make some adjustments to his style. He would up his game, but still not be able to do enough for the win. I think a possible draw would have occurred.

4)Arturo Gatti. This would be another war, but this time Hatton would have his youth as an advantage, and I could see him winning on points.

5)De La Hoya. Oscar's sheer height and reach advantage would allow him to pick off Hatton at distance. Some close exchanges would occur, but De La Hoya would use his fast combinations to see him through to a UD victory.

Hatton would be 35-1-2. Whereas Mayweather is 38-0.


What do you guys reckon?

Chavez is too small, he never fought at 140. I dont think a prime Castillo beats Hatton either, he is naturally smaller and would get bullied but maybe last into the later rounds.

A prime de La Hoya would beat Hattons ass....the old DLH that fought Mayweather might lose.

[me2007]

I think Mayweather beats all Hattons opponents though, Tzsyu might walk him onto a right hand though and knock him out, unlikely though at that stage for Tzsyu

great and interesting thread. Alot better than these childish thread about PBF everyday on this forum.

What do you guys reckon?

What do i reckon, i reckon your a blind pbf fan

[*2TOUGH*]

hatton kos mayweather

[mick66]

So a Hatton dominates and stops Castillo in 4 rounds and you don't give him the nod , to win either fight if they happened some years ago...WHY?
Don't give us that washed up excuse...He'd still lose any time...

Take those PBF blinkers off man..

Gatti has no chance.......NONE..

Chavez.....No chance..How do you figure out he beats Hatton..Hatton would walk straight through him..

ODH.....in his prime..poss beats Hatton...When PBF fought him..Hatton has a decent chance..

castillo didn't last long enough to tell if he was shot. it looked like he was warming up though, but got hit in the rib.

chavez is slightly smaller than ricky and they are about the same speed. infact ricky is faster. ricky wins it for me. i cant see ricky getting ko'd by chavez.

gatti would not beat ricky at all. i mean he had wars with a micky ward who had a crap defence, ok power, great heart. ricky doesn't have the best defense but he would sure ko gatti. i mean look at how easy it is to hit him.

de la hoya would win. i think it's either he would ko hatton because of the way they fight. if hatton didnt get ko'd then there would be a chance hatton would ko a tired oscar with body shots. obviously a lot easier to hit a a tired guy. i htink being the smaller man you gotta run agaisnt socar to win. i mean if floyld keep going forward he would have ost.

[BmoreBrawler]

Their careers would be exactly the same record-wise, besides the fact that Hatton would have to be insane to even take a fight vs DLH, particularly at 154 since he is so small, while it made more sense for Floyd. Besides that fight, exact same results career-wise.
