Hatton would beat Floyd at 140?

[wmute]

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

Do you think Hatton usualy comes in at 140 on fight night?

Or do you think that dehydrating and rehydrating is beneficial to Hatton?

BTW, someone has a sig (and a link) quoting you stating that Calzaghe has better defense than Mayweather, so why am i surprised to read this...

Hatton beating a faster Mayweather @ 140? Nah

[crillz]

to make this post is to disrespect Floyd Mayweather Jr. you think Hatton was the only one who wasn't the same at 147 as he was in 140? Floyd was better at 140 too accept when it came time to step up to 147 and even 154 regardless of opposition Floyd rose to the occasion, he adapted better but there is no doubt that the lighter Mayweather is the more dangerous he would have been. he beats Ricky not because of weight but because regardless of ANYTHING you can say Floyd Mayweather is the better fighter, THAT'S why he beat Ricky, had nothing to do with weight or anything.

Floyd is leagues ahead of Hatton in terms of skills and he proved it, Hatton is very limited or should I say he WAS very limited, that changed yesterday against Malignaggi with Sr. in his corner, and compared to Floyd it was a no contest, a fight I didn't even think made sense. Hatton wont beat Floyd at any weight it's just the difference in skills, he can't hit him because he can't outsmart him and to beat Floyd you have to outsmart him with constant smart pressure punching and not just blind pressure, Hatton is good man I got nothing but love and respect for him and I love to watch him fight but I'm a fan of BOXING not the boxers, Ricky wont get nothing but truth from me and the truth is that in ANY weight class you want to name he wont find Floyd.

I've said it before that Floyd has the talent to beat Ricky 7 times out of 10. But, the weight and Joe Cortez conspired to remove the remaining 3. IMO. But, I don't care what you say, making 140 is not the same as making 147. For Hatton to have to move up from 140 was not doing him any favors at all. He did it because Floyd would not come down to 140.

No. Mayweather beats Hatton at any weight. Hatton is definitely better at 140 then at 147, but not good enough to beat Floyd. Its nothing to be ashamed about.

To the original question. Mayweather beats Hatton 9 out of 10 times. That being said, I would watch them fight all of those 10 times. Mayweather is a rare, special fighter.

Unfortunately, not only is rarely pushed to his limits, but very rarely is actually forced to fight. Hatton makes him fight: he has the speed to make Mayweather bothered by his attack (unlke say Baldomir) him throw more, and unlike many of Mayweather opponents' he has the guts to keep coming after eating one too many counters (unlike Judah, De La Hoya). I always said that Hatton is the only entertaining and some what competitive (no Gatti, Mitchell type of stuff) fight we'll see Mayweather above lightweight, and I still stand by my claim.

Really. It's been nearly a year, and Wiley Coyote still can't get over it.
I'm thinking of making a huge anniversary thread on Dec. 8th.......

The only statement anyone made about that says the opposite.

How is Cortez responsible for Hatton getting knocked out and beat up on the inside, on the outside and at midrange?

He will never gets over it, in his eyes Hatton lost to a fighter whose defense is fine but not as good as Jo Calzaghe's...
