    sorry but this is a very biased article...Floyd Hatton not exciting? What the hell, i remember before the fight happened i was seeing Hatton as a very live threat... the beginning of the fight was thrilling, as we were seeing Hatton pressuring Floyd, while he was keeping his cool and executing his gameplan.

    But still, you could feel any punch could change someway the fight. Until half of the fight, when floyd took it up a notch and started schooling the UK guy, fighting toe to toe with him and KOing him at the end.

    That was exciting...i dont know what youre talking about...i can understand saying Floyd - Baldo was not an exiting fight (oh well, i liked the technical display of Mayweather anyway, but i can understand other fight fans want to see more violence) But this fight...come on now.

      Very true ,, the Hatton vs Mayweather fight was one of the most hyped and anticipated fights in history and if Floyd came back to fight the winner of Pac vs Hatton it would be be bigger especially if it was against Manny .

        I would love to see Floyd come back to fight Manny. I knew Floyd would school Hatton and I think it would be a mismatch in a rematch. The fHatton fight had hype and so did Floyd's fight with De La Hoya. Both fights were garbage.

            One point is spot on; if he ain't gonna fight a top WW before or even after he beat Pac, **** him. Let him stay retired.

              The way I see it...

              Manny is the only test out there for Mayweather at thae moment. The rest of the welters (Cotto, Margarito, Williams and Clottey) need to solve who's the best. Once that is done then possibly Mayweather would fight the winner. None of these fighters have been considered the pound-for-pound best. What's the sense in fighting them???? None of the aformentioned fighters stands out as far as motivation for Mayweather.
              Mayweather beats Manny and goes back in retirement until, Berto emerges as the true superstar of them all.

                Manny is just like Floyd and not going to fight a top welter either because both a great smaller fighters fighting outside their weight class , bias is a ***** !

                  It was an OK fight.. It wasn't Cotto v Margarito exciting.
                  The thing that made the fight was the knock out but other then that Mayweather did too much clinching.

                    Mayweather fought a few welterweights and beat Oscar at 154. I think he is a legit welter. Manny went up two divisions. He was no more a welterweight than Hatton.
