Mayweather on the Doorstep

[Wiley Hyena]

wmute, Hatton weighed in at 145.

I see no reason why people suggest he blew up after the fight.

Why would he lost 2 pounds of unneeded weight, then? Doesn't make much sense.

Hatton's optimimum weight division is obviously Jr. WW. That's the division where Hatton rules. I'm not sure I agree that Floyd's natural division is Jr. WW. At this time I do think it is WW. That's what I meant.

Similarly, are you suggesting that Hatton lost ten pounds of muscle since JUne?

1) Wiley, you are manning up and I respect you for that. I know this kinda stings. But as I promised, I am not elevating Mayweather for this win. I said that he needed to stop Hatton in dramatic fashion, and all he did was validate what I already knew he was. And what I already knew Hatton was.

2) I'm baffled as to why people didn't see this. There are smarter (yes, I admit it) boxing people on this site than I am. Yet, some of those folks saw this as a pick 'em fight, or saw a tough decision for Mayweather. I MUST ASK: what did you folks see in Hatton that I clearly did not? Why were you bamboozled by the Castillo fight instead of using the preponderance of the evidence from all his previous fights?

3) I went on YouTube, and all of the Hatton fans are saying that it is "no shame to lose to one of the greatest fighters ever". Wait. He was a ***** ***** dancer mayrunner on 12/7. Then on 12/9 he's on the shortlist for GOAT?

4) Why did you guys ignore the fact that Floyd had PUNISHED the 140 class? I know that it wasn't exactly Murderer's Row. But Floyd put some serious hurt in the Corley/Bruseles/Gatti/Sharmba/Judah run. Those are guys his own size. Instead, he was being judged by Baldo/Oscar. That was unfair. In retrospect, I believe you agree.

5) All-time greats DO NOT necessarily clean out divisions. Especially in the modern era. In fact, it is the rarer occasion where a guy cleaned out a division. Floyd needs to be judged by a different criteria because he moved through all those weight classes. Is there any doubt in your mind that Floyd would have beaten everybody at LW? He could have stayed there. Mayweatehr-Freitas...who ya got? Mayweather-Casamayor....who ya got? There was nobody else.

I just don't think it is reasonable to expect FMJ to go cleaning out the WW division. He isn't gonna have many more fights.

6) Admit it , people. HBO's 24/7 program sold you on Hatton. All that insane bagwork and his 'confidence' made you into a Hatton Believer. You bought the bull****.

Well, I was picking Hatton before 24/7. You know that. God's honest truth, my pick regarding Hatton was a matter of putting heart over brain. Hatton was not the underdog for nothing.

Lastly, saying Floyd dominated 140 is a tricky statement. You know this because of the Tszyu thing. I won't reopen the argument, but 140 has always been a controversial division for Floyd.

Now, obviously, WW is Floyd's natural division. He grew into it and that's where he'll stay.

This is not nuthuggin thread. You obviously don't understand at all. This is about truth.

Wiley dont start twisting **** , what weight does Hatton fight at stepping in the ring answer that ?
What weight does Floyd fight at stepping in the ring ?

The weigh-in the day before is not true fighting weight , fact !

There is no way that Floyd's natural division is WW. He is the lightest man in the division, and he is lighter than most JWW's.

100% true , thats why Hatton took the fight , if Floyd was a legit Welter like Cotto stepping in a 160 Hatton would never have taken the fight .

Ive been in a bunch of sites the last couple of days , Ill go and find the source , could turnout to be hear say but I believe it as it does go along with what Billy said he would weigh and his weigh-in weight was spot on to what Billy said it would be ,,, the point Im making is Floyd is not a welter by the true sense .

Yeah I was interested in the fight night weights. Hatton looked like he gained back more weight than Floyd did.

My bottom line is, Floyd is not bigger than Hatton.

ALL welters (bar Judah) ar bigger than both these two.
