I'm sure this has been said, but.....

Collazo is a much bigger , stronger, SOUTHPAW. Mayweather is an inflated SFW who had trouble with Castillo. Big difference.

FM had a bad shoulder in the first fight and proved in the second he had no problem with Castillo's style. He proved in the Jesus Chavez fight that he can beat a come-at-you, relentless fighter. What can Hatton bring that Floyd hasn't already seen?

Not too much. I think Cotto-Hatton would be a much better fight but oh well.

Hopkins lost to Taylor and was able to beat Tarver and Winky.


Styles make fights, ****sucker.


Floyd will win though.

I see you got baby Mayweather in sig..nice one.

Mayweather had a bad hand..and a torn rotator cuff in that fight...i mean watch the fight..that doesnt even look like Floyd....

The second fight he easily beat him..no problem.

Enough with the excuses already. Floyd was much more dominant at 130 and he beat a green fighter that had never even CHALLENGED for a world title in Chavez. Chavez is shorter and smaller than Hatton and he STILL held his own for the first 8 rounds, and could have easily continued if his corner hadn't stopped it.

Hatton made a lot of mistakes the last time he stepped up to welter. If you read up on the internet you will see that the extra weight he was carrying was 50% muscle, 50% beer and takeaway food. Hatton believed with the extra weight he could gain before he hit the limit, he could get away with a few nights out with friends. Clearly he was wrong, and it nearly cost him the fight, but the fact is he won in a bad situation, and its that sheer will to win and his never say die attitude that Hatton brings to this fight that I dont think is matched by any of Floyds previous opponents.

As Hatton says himself, "To stop me, hes gunna have to kill me".*

If by holding his own you meant losing 7 rounds, then yes, he held his own (while getting )

Everybody has a bad day at the office once in a while.

Well said mate. That and Collazo was much bigger than Hatton and Mayweather. He was a natural welterweight/light middleweight and has fought as high as maybe 155-157lbs. Hatton will be much more capable of matching Mayweathers strength consideing that PBF naturally struggles to hold weight and has grew from a mere super feather weight. plus im hoping that Ricky has pepared much better for this fight.
