    He's damn good but it's possible he's a tad over-rated. I mean, he doesn't really have power but he does punch sharply. I think that if he moves up much more he'll really have problems. He's not the physically strongest dude in the division or even the one he just left.

      You must be joking right. Where have you been the last 8 weeks?

        Don't get me wrong, I think Mayweather is an excellent talent... But he'd be much better suited if he was fighting at 130lbs-135lbs.

        These guys at 140lbs are too big, and too strong for him.

        I think beating an old shop worn Gatti is one thing, but beating a young 26yr old hungry Hatton is a totally different ball game.
        Gatti was supposed to be too big and strong...I think Mayweather punchs a little bit harder than we expect.

            Gatti's shown weakness in the past, even if Mayweather could hit as hard as Tszyu he couldnt normally hurt Gatti that easily, Gatti looked really shot. Full credit to Mayweather for giving him a beating but i think it made his power look better than it is, but i do think his power has improved a lot.

                I think a lot of people are missing the point!!

                Mayweather is the best P4P fighter in the world, the is no real doubt about that but he's not unbeatable, so by people saying he is unbeatable that basically proves he's overated by some people.

                If someone says a fighter is unbeatable, that means the fighter is overated.

                  I have it a little different but it could easily end up that way, thats why Tszyu shouldnt quit and Mayweather should spend some quality time at 140.

                    I'd pull for Zab in that one
