Hatton would beat Floyd at 140?

140..147..135...150...it doesnt matter Hatton loses....Mayweather isnt a weight drain fighter

You may be right. But, at 140 Hatton is a better fighter than he is at 147. That's the point, and it's hard to deny.

With a different ref, fighting outside of the US, and at 140, Ricky has as good a chance at beating Floyd as anybody. I just dont see it happening.

Hatton would win a close decision over Floyd at 140

Mayweather beats Hatton @ 140.

Hatton does not beat Floyd at any weight. He talks **** about Floyd being more natural at that weight and arseholes believe him! It is well known Floyd spent half his career weighing LESS than fat man. He started at 130 and spent alot of time at 135 where h got two of his biggest wins. Fatman has done all his big work at 140 and is more natural at the weight. Draining out less for 147 helped him. A fight at 140 would beneift FLoyd even more and Fatman would die. People gotta stop being ******ed and believeing this bollocks about Floyd being a much bigger guy when he is not!

That is exactly what I'm saying "son." Hatton does have a better chance with Floyd at 140. Floyd is still the favorite, but Hatton is better at 140. Pure and simple. What is there to debate about that?

Agree Hatton is better at 140...Disagree with Hatton standing a better chance. At 140 Hatton would get beaten bad...

140 a better Hatton
140 a MUCH better Mayweather

Let me explain this one last time:

When fighters fight at 140, the tend to show up by fight time at 147-149. They drain weight for the weigh-in and then put it back on.

Floyd never had to drain himself to make 147 becaue he showed up at 147 by fight time...which means, he is coming in at the same weight Hatton and most fighters do that fight at 140.

It was a 140 pound fight without the draining for the weigh-in.

Thank you...

OH, Floyd vs. Ricky now?

Still favor Floyd. Floyd's in his 30's now, has been off a year, and the fight would take place in May/June if it were in England at Wembley, so... If Floyd had no tune-up fights between that, that gives a little more room for Hatton to succeed.

Personally, I don't like the way Floyd Jr. has been fighting. He doesn't punch as much, which might be because of his hands, and he just sits there and barely moves around compared to when he was younger/lighter.
Floyd used to want to win every round but now, he is very cautious when he fights. I think it goes hand and hand with his interview about worrying about his health for his kids…eh

I think Floyd would have to act and fight like his younger version to beat this Hatton. He would need to fight from round 1
instead of just sitting there waiting.
It kind of reminds me of how Hopkins used to start to take off for the first 6 rounds as he got older. Somewhat similar to Jones Jr as he got older and used the one shot at a time/pot-shot, decreased use of the jab in exchange for the lead right, and just stationary approach.


And yes, I agree, neither is SRR...which some have put him up there with.

Chris Eubank said that in an interview a while ago. Something along the lines of being so good that you stop throwing punches, because you don't need to. He said that about himself and Mayweather Jr.

I dont think Hatton would get KO'd. I just feel Mayweather would outbox him again.

I'd love to see this fight with a ref that would let Hatton fight on the inside...

Hatton got beat up on the inside too, what's your point?

[Wiley Hyena]

Thank you...

But Hatton came in at 147. That's the point. I'm talking about Hatton, not Floyd.
