    Yeah, I admit, it wasn't Shane's best night.

Castillo beat him the first fight and the second fight wasn't a total blowout like everyone said, most were close rounds. Now Hatton...bigger, stronnger, faster, younger version of Castillo with an extreme work rate. I see Hatton pulling this out in a very close fight testing the heart of both fighters.
      I dont know about bigger and stronger but he is busy and fast.

        Neither was his first fight with Wright, or the 2nd, or the first with Forrest, or the second, or with Estrada or with Crust(Cruz)

          Why do you keep starting new accounts with new names?

          It's obvious who you are.

            because he was banned with all his other names.

                Styles make fights. Is Hatton more skilled than Mayweather? Hell to the no, IMHO. He'd probably be a heavy underdog, and deservedly so. But I believe that he has the best chance of any to defeat Mayweather. He'd cut off the ring, absorb a few combinations coming in, get up in Mayweather's chest and pound his body, gloves, arms, whatever he can get his mitts on, wearing him down. If Tzysu's smashing right hands couldn't stop Hatton's forward motion, then Mayweather's strong but not overly-devestating combinations certainly won't. Hatton certainly will not tire either, even if he has to chase Mayweather from ringpost to ringpost round after round. He has the best conditioning of any boxer, probably even better than Mayweather in that department. But still, he only has a swarmer's chance, which is better than no chance at all. Better than can be said about anybody else.
                But still, Mayweather is a once-in-a-decade combination of talent and skill. He is scary good. He is also well conditioned, dedicated, and trains very, very hard. Ever try a Floyd Mayweather Jr.-style situp? Those things are butt-kickers.
                Now I believe that Cotto would get picked apart by Mayweather in Coralles-like fashion. He'd follow Mayweather around trying to draw a bead on him in a futile attempt to land a crunching shot, while Mayweather strikes that shaky chin repeatedly with hard, lightning quick flurries.
