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

Wiley are you still taking bets for the fight? I will bet every single point I have.

I garuntee you Floyd is going to win this fight.

I would dearly love to make that bet, but I've already put points up.

I concede it's a hard fight for Hatton. He's not the big underdog for nothing. But, you're not correct in criticizing Hatton's ring movement, nor his foot and hand speed. But, that's good. Floyd underrated Hatton too. Otherwise this fight would never have been made. So, we finally get to see Floyd in a real fight! That's good for boxing.

Not to mention Hatton just doesn't have the jab to close the distance. At least Oscar had that.

Hell, Floyd's jab is a lot better than Hatton's, and Floyd is actually going to have a healthy reach advantage. Rofl... this is going to be hilarious, when Hatton gets a jab or lead right to the face everytime he tries to get in on Floyd, only to find that Floyd has moved away or has tied him up and he has to start allover again.

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

Margarito isn't as dangerous as Hatton plus he hasn't achieved nowhere near what Hatton has plus Hatton has one of the best records in boxing at the moment 43-0 and isn't the winner of Mosley vs Cotto facing winner of Mayweather vs Hatton ??

Theres no question Hatton has power, but he isn't even going to be able to hit Mayweather.

Margarito also can throw over 1,000 punches. It would be nice to see Mayweather fight a guy that has that kind of workrate. Just because long armed Paul Williams beat Margarito doesn't mean Mayweather could. Williams took some hard ass bombs, I'm pretty sure he even admits that Margarito hit him with some bombs and its hard to deny when theres photos on the internet showing how hard margarito hits and how many punches margarito will throw.

Mayweather is fighting someone with that kind of workrate Hatton and Mayweather has also fought Jesus Chavez who threw over 100 punches in most rounds.

Looks like he is trying to snap Collazo's right arm in half.

I like most of your posts.. but I cant agree with you saying hatton is a bigger threat to floyd than margarito..

How is Marg more dangerous? He is to slow and Floyd would see his shots and move accordingly. Mayg would last the full 12 because of that chin but it would be lopsided. I a fighter who can be percieved as "slow" beating Floyd. Someone like P-dub who is fast, long, and active would give Floyd his toughest fight.

I agree i don't get it when people say Margarito is more dangerous than Hatton Margarito is so slow throws wild hooks that Mayweather would see coming from a mile away and to top it off he hasn't even beaten anyone that stands out except Joshua Clottey who i thought would of won if he wouldn't of injured his hand and Kermit Cintron but thats hardly anything to shout about.

I think Clottey deserves a rematch against Margarito.
