    For all the people laughing at the question, in the latest Duran bashing Mayweather thread there were actually people saying Floyd would win this fight. You'd be surprised what some of these people can delude themselves about.

      This is how boxing worked before it was all about bling over the ring.
      So in your eyes and using your logic Hagler himself isn't a "real ATG" right?

            No thats you using your own logic.

            Hagler always had challenges chasing after him. There was little to no reason for him to go to light heavy. In floyd's case, there is very much reason for him to move up.

              Fetta said it was a mistake, but there were others besides Fetta who said it and stood by it. I'll give Fetta the benefit of the doubt that he didn't mean it or mistyped something.

                People don't know **** about watching boxing matches. Yes, Hatton lost most of the rounds, and got TKOd, but he was giving Floyd fits, and it wasn't a walk in the park.

                Now replace Hatton with a bigger, better, more durable, harder hitting, longer reach, better boxer, ability to hurt you with 1 shot version of himself, and the fight would've had the opposite outcome.

                  LOL at using same day weight in to defend mr Mayweather. With no 154 in between just weighting in at 148 would make you a middleweight.

                    In reality, Floyd's not built for Middleweight. He's relatively a small guy. Him fighting at 154 to me is maybe like Ray fighting at 160, still effective but not the best version. This fight with Canelo is probably the closest we'll see Floyd fighting a Middleweight when dealing with what Canelo will weigh the night of the fight. But against Hagler, it's just a bad fight for him, just like IMO a Golovkin fight is bad for Floyd too. Weight classes at some point DOES make a difference.

                      So you mean a completely different fighter...
