If Floyd beats Hatton..

[-Antonio-]

Even if Hatton were to beat Floyd, he still would be second-best to Joe Calzaghe.

I agree. It's clear he is in another league in terms of skill, regardless of opposition.

Hatton was the man at 140lbs - He beat Tszyu
De La Hoya was the man at 154lbs - Everyone left & He beat Mayorga
Baldomir was the man at 147lbs - He beat Zab Judah
Genaro Hernandez was the man at 130lbs.
Jose Luis Castillo was the man at 135lbs.

That's sort of misleading. Floyd has been Ring champ only at 130, 135, and 147. He didn't win that at 154 title against Oscar, who only had a paper title at the time, and he's not fighting Hatton at 140.

[RHETOЯIC]

To win Hatton's ring belt at 140, HE HAS TO FIGHT HATTON AT 140.

Makes no difference.
If he wins, he'd have beaten THE MAN.

Cory Spinks left the division.
He was the man.

Hatton needs to fight and beat Cotto to be considered the greatest Briton.

He'll win tonight, definitely, but Mayweather is a former super-featherweight who struggled for his life against Zab and Oscar (who were years past their bests) before they took their feet off the gas.

Greatness is taking risks, this Mayweather fight isn't a risk - he's fighting the so-called 'pound-for-pound best' for $50million in all.

Cotto is a risk.

If Hatton dominates tonight then should easily be P4P #1 and I don't want to hear Pac or anyone else.

Totally Agree.

[MaYaN_SuN]

He'd have beaten the man in every division from 130lbs - 154lbs.

That would solidify his greatness.

lol Only if your prone to muzzling his nuts..

A fight with Cotto would define greatness, by way of the risk in fighting Cotto, and the fact Cotto never had any questionable bouts with Luis Collazo lol. Every time Cotto's been in trouble, he came back to win, to win by KO.

THATS the type of fighter one can build "greatness" off of.

[RHETOЯIC]

I'm going to stop posting if Floyd loses.

A fight has never meant so much to me before.

If Floyd loses, all my arguments at boxingbаnter were in vain.

I can't face you all if Mayweather loses.
I just can't.

Calzaghe is better all round than Hatton, even if Hatton wins tonight. I can see Calzaghe adding B-Hop, Jones and Pavlik maybe (?) to his resume before he is done.

[TellmeWhy]

If he beats Hatton, Cotto and Margarito should fight and winner takes on Floyd. After that, Floyd can retire have a solid place in history as an all time great.

Margarito..?????????

HUH.......


Margarito needs to fight Paul williams again before anything....
