The Myth of the 140 version of Hatton post-Floyd

[AllEyesOpen]

I think when it comes down to it, Mayweather would have handled Hatton the same at 140 as he did at 147.

Hatton is a good name on Mayweathers resume. It may not have been the cleanest/best win but it's still something you could list under his accomplishments. But Manny's victory is more impressive.

Well we're talking from the point of view of a fan, not a manager or the fighter himself. So theoretically we want all the advantages to go to "our" fighter. And fighting at 140 is where Ricky belongs.

And Oscar was total **** at 160 lol. Compared to his 147 self. He was slower, less powerful and probably not as motivated.

It's funny how a couple losses spurned Hopkins to go out and take some big risks, having the best run of his career. Maybe that's what Mayweather needs?

Obviously Manny's win is more impressive. He knocked Hatton down twice in the 1st round and put him to sleep in the 2nd round in the KO of the year, while Floyd struggled with Ricky for the first half of the fight before knocking him out in the 10th.

But Ricky was undefeated when he fought Floyd and he had been a WW champion. Ricky may have been the man at 140, but Floyd took all of Ricky's shine in that fight. I also wonder how healthy Hatton was in that fight especially since it looks like he is coming back at 147.

i dont need too answer your question,is have nothing to do with what we are talking about

The reason I asked is because I've read your posts for some time and have only ever seen you take shots at British fighters. I don't believe you're British and if you are, well then I think you may have some self-hate issues to address.

on the basis that he looked terrible against light-punching lazcano and was hurt a couple of times.he beat up malignaggi because the guy cant punch,the fight was just a smokescreen to set up another mega-fight for hatton

He went on a three month bender before Lazcano and wasn't at his best. There were some fights where he wasn't at his best pre-Mayweather but I don't see you saying he was done before Floyd. Malignaggi was the no.1 contender at JWW, if Hatton didn't win that he was going to retire but he massacred him and looked good doing it. That may be difficult for you to accept, but that's what it is.

I'm out for the night (as it's late here) but will reply tomorrow at some point.

Hatton openly ducked Floyd when they were at 140. His team decided Ricky was ready for Floyd after Floyd-DLH...Floyd moved down one division, Ricky moved up one division. Super fight, 10 good action rounds, highlight reel KO. At the very least, Hatton did elevate the sport with his fights vs. Floyd and Manny.

pac outperformed floyd vs hatton......period...

pac fought a severely weathered hatton b/c of floyd. pac was supposed to have his way with him. ****rider

too bad your fav fighter doesnt want to step in the ring with may and get exposed

wow, floyd struggled with hatton? floyd controlled the whole fight but you call that struggling?

140 floyd would have let his hands go. he would have punished hatton and ko'ed him sooner

Kind of, maybe not struggled as much as it was an ugly fight on the inside with grabbing, holding, etc. early on. But after Mayweather found his straight right hand midway through, it was poetry in motion up to the KO.

hatton was shot post collazo. pac is shot post torrecampo. mayweather is shot post augie sanchez.
