If Floyd beats Hatton, will he get more respect in this forum?

[STEELHEAD]

i know i would respect him more.

then a cotto fight. because thats the biggest fight out there.

maybe flood would drag it out longer by fighting a top contender tuneup if he gets thru hatton.

Hatton is a junior welterweight.

And Mayweather is a puffed up light weight..

What if Hatton wins i dare say he will never get the respect of Floyd's rent boys on Boxingscene

[deevel79]

Depends on how he beats him. If he does it decisively, then yeah. If he starts that love tapping and running, then he will get boo'd even in triumph.

[BrooklynBomber]

No, not really, since according to the lot of you it will be another bruseless type of win.

I think that beating Hatton, a guy in his prime, although not in his ideal weightclass, would be amazing and people would have to stop saying " oh he's always dodging this and that" althought the fact that he doesn't want to fight Cotto after he beating Mosley is a real ***** move. But let's see how it goes I guess. All the Floyd hate is really getting annoying and if he beats hatton he should get more respect.

IMO.

Ideal weightclass are you for real?. Hatton is going to be the slightly bigger man come fight time.
Mayweather is like the only true "top ten welterweight" (besides Mosley) in a division that's full of middleweights posing as welterweights.

When your the best at what you do you will always have haters.

Exactley.. just look at ALL the haterz come out after Cotto beat Mosley.

It won't give Mayweather anymore credit. Beating Cotto would give him more credit. As far as I'm concerned, Hatton will always be a junior welterweight to me and even though I like the guy, there are many true welterweights who were/are more deserving of a fight with Mayweather because they paid their dues in that division.

Nope, there will be an excuse. People will say Hatton was overated and too one dimensional. lol
