    Then why was a guy considered top 10 p4p in a life and death battle with a fringe fighter like Collazo at WW?
    Because that guy was severely overrated.

        well according to rizooms logic a live opponent at 147 does not exist for mayweather........they are all just that terrible that Floyd would be cherry picking no matter who he fights

          He really didn't have a shot.

          But he really wouldn't have had a shot at 140 either.

            But I'm not trying to rip on Ricky Hatton. I genuinely like the dude.

              Mosley would've been more of a live opponent last year when he wasn't almost a year and a half inactive. Williams would be a live opponent. Martinez at 154 (where Floyd has a title) would be a live opponent.

              You can't drag these guys like Hatton and Marquez up in weight and then claim the outcome would've been the same.

                Castillo, Judah, N'dou, De La Hoya, Hatton, and now Mosley... 6 very dangerous and good opponents in the last 8 years when two of the years he was retired so last 6 years, i dare someone to argue against these 6 not being live very dangerous good opponents

                  I could be wrong, but didn't Hatton request the fight at 147?

                    Hint: because despite what your old lady tells you, size matters.
                    No, I'm woke. I'm not sleep and I'm focused. Also, that joke of yours was lame, to say the least.

                    Here is his trainer saying that they didn't prepare correctly for that fight with Collazo...

                    Mayweather, who won his first world title in the super-featherweight division, is not as natural a welterweight as Collazo. And this time Hatton will have much more time to prepare.

                    Hatton's trainer Billy Graham said: "We've got more warning about moving up to welterweight than last time. Last time against Collazo it was a really quick decision.

                    "Then, Ricky carbed up a bit and didn't take the advice of his nutritionist. We learned a massive lesson in that fight. We'll do it differently this time and be much better.

                      They were not ready when Floyd was at 140. They said they needed more time. Then Floyd went all the way up to 154 (150) to fight Oscar. Why would he go all the way back down to 140 to fight a guy that wasn't ready for him when he was there. Thus, Hatton moved to 147 to fight him and him and his trainer had no problem with it. I can pull some of those quotes too.
