    what? Hatton wanted the fight at 140, Mayweather insisted on 147

    There were more Hatton fans, so location will not matter.
    the stadium had 15,000? picture a stadium with 85,000

    The ring was a normal sized ring. 140 is that best version of Floyd meaning faster KO.
    No, the ring was made bigger at Floyd's request, fact. If 140 was the best version, why wouldn't he agree to fight at 140?

    One advantage Floyd did not have is WEIGHT
    he definitely had that advantage, he looked bigger and more powerful and more suited to the weight.

      I had Mayweather vs Hatton level after 6. Ricky lost his head at that point and Floyd won everything from there.

        you know he lost his head don't you? he thought he was winning the fight (he said this after R.5), and then Cortez took a fkin point off and Billy Graham told him he couldn't afford to lose anymore rounds

          My thoughts exactly. Even if Ricky wins against Manny I don't think he is in any superior negotiating position to call the shots.He is the one that wants a rematch after all.
          Cortez admittedly was way too quick to separate them but I don't want the ref to go too far the other way and allow 12 rounds of hugging either. Give them a chance to work out of the clinch and after a reasonable amount of time separate them. I don't think a Mayweather v Hatton 2 is a fight that excites many fight fans except perhaps Ricky Hatton fans because it's already been done. Manny v Mayweather would probably create more interest. Having said that Hatton will be real tough to get passed for Manny and is an exciting fight in itself.

            I really think Cortez held Hatton down a bit, without Cortez the fight would've been much closer but Mayweather would've won anyways, he adjusted and dominated Hatton.

              Idiot. When Mayweather was fighting at 140, he asked Hatton for a fight after he beat Kostya. Hatton said no twice as he was not ready for Floyd.

              Give Floyd more of the reason to KO his ass out again in front of his fellow countryman.

              The ring was normal size. please wouldn't matter since Floyd beat Hatton in the inside as well. Hatton did not fight 140 since he lost he would have nothing to run back to after losing to Floyd. Reason why after Paulie fight he was like I am the best at 140

              The highest Mayweather weight at WW come fight night was 149 against Baldomir. Hatton was 158 come fight night against Collazo.

                because those are the advantages Floyd had.
                Stop making excuses... Cortez wasnt holding Hatton when Floyd ko'd him was he?

                Stop being a *****... Accept defeat like a man

                  thats true, but in negotiations for the last fight they tried to get it at 140 and Floyd wouldn't budge even to a catch-weight

                  Give Floyd more of the reason to KO his ass out again in front of his fellow countryman.
                  he's not that brave.

                  he didn't beat him on the inside, he held on so the ref would separate them. The ring was made 2m bigger at Floyd's request.

                  The highest Mayweather weight at WW come fight night was 149 against Baldomir. Hatton was 158 come fight night against Collazo.
                  yeah and hatton looked **** against Collazo, those weights are too high for him

                      if hatton beats pacquiao which won't happen mayweather would fight hatton coz he knows that would be easy money..i dont respect hatton for blaming it on the ref now,floyd made him look like an amateur ..it is what it is.
