    mayweathers win over hatton is severely underrated...

    that was like mosley over margarito....how he beat margarito at his own game (brawling)...mayweather beat hatton at his own game (clinching).....hatton came out alot tougher then expected because he did actually control the early tempo even if he wasnt winning rounds....the last 3 rounds were sickening mayweather was landing power punches at will snapping his head back....he also went against a hostile crowd

    if you ask me thats one of his best wins.....people at the time didnt give him enough credit because they were crying about miguel jotto but hatton is more refined

      tired of people saying that Hatton did not belong at 147, he is heavier then Mayweather. Mayweather moved up from 130 and fought as high as 154. Who are you saying does not belong where. Here you have a man that weighs 180 walking around fighting at 140 and you have a little man that doesn't even weigh 147 on fight night fighting him and you have the nerve to say Hatton did not belong there

        Ricky Hatton didn't put up his gloves. He was winning in the beginning, but floyd made some adjustments. Then floyd hit some repeated shots to one side of Rickys head and that was the end of it. Any fighter can lose especially if he doesn't protect himself.

          I think it was the only fight where he actually fought a dangerous opponent. I gave him all the credit in the world for winning that fight but thats about the only valid thing he did above 130.

            The reason Mayweather doesn't fget much respect is because there was a huge class gap, now if he had fought and beat say Cotto instead then he would have got respect

              tired of people saying that if he had fought Cotto and won. He asked for Cotto after Gatti got his taken from him. What does Cotto and his people say, no thanks. Mayweather became bigger then Cotto so now he refuses to give him a fight. No one said anything when Marg refused to give Paul a fight, they called him a great fighter.

                That win is severely OVERRATED. Hatton is a can. The guy can't boxe for ****.

                  Of coarse he did Cotto was an untested WBO champ at the time. Cotto was at the same level Andre Berto is right now so of coarse Matweather would challange him because at that point cotto was just a moderate contender and a junior welter..

                    to answer your question Mayweather was untested at 140 as well, someone who moved up to the division.
