You may be right but it could just have been a deliberate ploy because of the last 2 opponents he was facing. He shoudn't do it long term, that's for sure. He needs the speed and he was plenty strong enough before the KT fight. -
Why is everyone using Floyd's two Castillo fights as the standard to beat him? He has gotten 10 times better since then and is much bigger. Sure, Hatton brings pressure, but he is very vulnerable to being hit and countered. With Floyd's accuracy, Hatton will eat huge amounts of leather if he does bull-rush in head first. Also, don't judge Floyd's last few fights and assume that he's gonna fight Hatton the same way. If you followed his career, then you know that he adjusts his style to his advantage. So, some fights he'll stay in the pocket and others he'll box and move.Comment

Cotto was just trying to expose himself to different styles, in a short amount of time, he is just rushing himself. When he steps up he will go back to what he does best, and thats box using his defence.Comment

If anything i think Mayweather become a worst fighter since Castillo, you cant hand feed big game and expect them to be able to hunt effectively afterwards, Floyds had too many easy meals and it could show in a fight against someone decent.Originally posted by MerovingianWhy is everyone using Floyd's two Castillo fights as the standard to beat him?

Hatton said he thought he was headhunting too much and loading up too much so at least he is conscious of what was wrong with his performance last night. Against Mitchell PBF got clipped a number of times and looked a bit slower. He can't really keep moving up in weight and keep all of his speed and power so it may actually be in Hatton's interest to wait for PBF to move to 147, maybe beat Zab and get the belts, and then fight him. I think Hatton could easily carry a few extra pounds and he does not rely on speed as much and has great stamina so it may make beating PBF easier. I think Hatton would have some trouble with Cotto but Cotto seems like he has been a bit shaken in his last two so Hatton may have a good chance of a ko. I would love to see Hatton stretch PBF but I think he would have a hard time with this fight and I would give a slight advantage to PBF.Comment

I find that suprising considering Hatton was on that same path before Tszyu and turned down a fight against Floyd. Also, out of the 40 fights on Hatton's resume, the only elite fighter was Tszyu.Comment

I think I've said more then enough about this comment. I've dissected it from every single angle and I still see Hatton winning this.
I'll leave you with one final though:
Hatton is stonger and more active than Castillo and he won't stand around waiting for PBF like most do. He will go at Mayweather and if He doesn't get stopped on cuts He will beat Mayweather.Comment
