why do mayweather fans overrate his win over hatton?

[deevel79]

The heat that Floyd gets for fighting Hatton is due to the fact that Floyd went looking elswhere other than his own division for a fight, when his own division had plenty of dangerous fighters that would've given Floyd a run for his money.

I'll add that I was ringside for that Hatton-Collazo fight and, except for the screaming UK fans in the audience, nearly everyone thought Collazo was robbed. Not to mention the knockdown in the final round that was completely overlooked. Poor Hatton had to escape from the post-fight presser (looking like utter **** I might add) because he was absolutely SMOKED by the questions.

Right then and there I knew Hatton wasn't built for welter. Perhaps some were fooled by HBO hyping him up (ie Castillo fight) but I sure as hell wasn't. Floyd damn near jumped out his seat when that poor sap called him out. He knew - like a lot of others - it was easy money...or as he woul say, easy work.

What short memories people have, eh? With ALL those fighters IN HIS DIVISION, Hatton was the most credible. To quote King Jaffe Joffer..."nonsense."

when they are the same people putting hatton down before the fight saying he was too small, too slow, no jab etc.

makes me sick.

why did hatton fans overrate him before the fight but underrate him after? why did they say that hatton was gonna ktfo of mayweather but then said he was too small for the welterweight division(which is absurd) afterwards?

When did Hatton ever call Floyd out? I keep hearing people say that "Hatton called Floyd out" All Hatton ever did was criticize Floyd for his lack of excitement/exciting fights during his post fight interview with Max Kellerman. If that constitues "calling floyd out", then what do u call what Margarito and Cotto did? Marg literally called Floyd out face to face, and Cotto has criticized Floyd and questioned his manhood on several occasions. Why wasnt Floyd quick to take those fights?

Tell that to the welters who had been calling Floyd out earlier and a lot louder.

So what happened when Marg and Cotto bashed him, and kept his name in thier mouths? That's my question. When Hatton dissed him, its "calling him out", but when Marg and Cotto did, it wasnt? Help me understand?

no he didnt, we had been waiting for that match for years and it came to a head in 2005 with mayweathers win over gatti with hatton at ringside having just demolished kostya tszyu, everyone couldnt wait to see it.

so, how many thought hatton had a shot? who weren't brits? few.
