Did Mayweather pick to fight Hatton because Hattons the easiest fight for him?

DLH is faster and more skillful than Hatton could ever think of becoming, yet Mayweather handled him with easy. Hatton's brawling along with headbutts and elbows isn't going to make up the difference in ability. Mayweather is going to carve him up like a pizza.

Thank you. Margarito is not that good, Cintron hadn't done anything, Williams has only beaten Margarito and that's recent. This is not a great list of WWs.

Cotto you could argue, but I think that's an easier matchup for Mayweather than is Hatton.

Paul Williams could be a sheep in a wolf's clothing, or....he could just be a wolf. Williams is a wild card.

This is a common misconception. Hatton is far more aggressive and dangerous than Oscar was when he fought Floyd.

So, he doesn't fight boxers like margarito, williams, cotto, and or mosley?

Margarito is trash and those other fighters are tied up. People have been wanting to see Ricky and Mayweather fight since 2005, so please stfu...

EASIEST fight for MOST MONEY

[SkillspayBills]

Ask yourself the question, who would have gotten him the most money (his greed is evident")? Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Oscar DLH. Hatton and Mosley will most likely be his next to fights and Oscar wants no piece of him again.

Of course. But the Mayweather Jr. nut riders will of course say no. Hatton is the easiest style wise to choose from out of the mix. Why else would Mayweather Jr. choose him as well as take on Dancing with the Stars at the same time? He wouldn't unless he was confident Hatton's style he could easily overcome. Mayweather Jr. was always right about saying he's a buisnessman and he thinks like one. He knows what to do that'll bring him the most money, continue to bring him the most money, and not jeopardize his "legacy". Really he's full of **** and don't believe any of his diehard fans that'll defend him saying this and that about Hatton. Floyd is a coward first and foremost.

***** are you serious?

[SpeedKillz]

before floyd was ****ing ricky in the past, now hes a coward for picking to fight him? wow thats some good logic right there.

starting to doubt hatton now as the fight gets closer??

[robjr]

I believe so.. and because its a big money fight.. But Floyd will redeem himself in my eyes if sticks to his word and fight sugar shane after he wins tonight..

There isn't no shot of Hatton pulling an upset off, he is no threat to Mayweather. Hatton can't do his holding and hitting in this fight, the ref will be a great ref and not allow for it. This fight is not 50/50, but 80/20 favoring Mayweather ridiculously high.
