Mayweather/Hatton: Shades of Leonard/Duran I?

[deliveryman]

Well, Hatton has beat 4 current world champs and 1 ex champ in his last 5 fights, something Mayweather has never done in 5 consecutive fights.

Rofl... ******. OH REALLY?

Floyd's last 5 fights, and their championship status going into the fight.

That's 4 current world champions and 1 former champ.


1. Oscar De La Hoya - WBC Light Middleweight champion of the world.
2. Carlos Baldomir - WBC WelterWeight champion of the world.
3. Zab Judah - IBF WelterWeight champion of the world, and former WBC Welterweight champion of the world.
4. Sharmba Mitchell - Former WBA Light WelterWeight champion of the world
5. Arturo Gatti - WBC Light WelterWeight champion of the world.

Hatton's 4 current champs were IN A ROW. Keep posting though, you're still a couple thousand points short of the bet you've made.

I dont think omen's will make a difference in this fight.

Let me get this right....So if you hang out with Roberto Duran, you automatically become as good as him? Duran would most likely say No mas to Floyd as well although I think overrall duran is one of the greatest ever and floyd still has some more to prove.

However, at 135, mayweather either loses a UD or gets KO'd by duran.

If Duran can beat a prime, undefeated, world champ Leonard at WW, Floyd would have had NO chance, especially at lightweight.

LOL @ THIS THREAD MAKER, AND THREAD.

It still amazes me how some of you idiot's see hatton winning..

[sonofisis]

Floyd can't even put Arturo Gatti on the canvas.

What do you mean by "even"? Since when has Gatti had a weak chin leading up to the Mayweather fight? I could have sworn that he had the reputation of a blood n guts warrior while Hatton got dropped by a nobody named Mcgee. Though at the end of the day, Floyd mauled Gatti! Hatton doesn't need to go down. Leavander Johnson never went down either! Sometimes it's better to go down or take a knee while taking a vicious beating.

If Duran can beat a prime, undefeated, world champ Leonard at WW, Floyd would have had NO chance, especially at lightweight.

Mayweather would have outboxed Duran imo. Leonard lost the first fight because he wanted to brawl with him and when he boxed in the 2nd, he made Duran quit! Just because Duran is an old school fighter doesn't mean he'd automatically beat every top fighter today.

Well, it's pure speculation because Mayweather has never faced a fighter the caliber of a prime Duran. And if Castillo can outland Floyd by a fairly large margin.......

Who has nowadays? No one single person in the past 10-15 years in the game has been of Duran's caliber, so this is immaterial. I'm basing this from a stylist pov given the assumption that Floyd would box smart, hence, win a competitive decision unless he got caught.
