    This is common knowledge man, how long have you been following boxing?

      Told me all I needed to know.

      Go to the 26:45 mark:

      I don't think the 3rd one landed at all, can't tell if the 4th landed all that well, but whew the first two were beauties.

          A lot of people underestimate Mayweather's strength, or more accurately how he maximizes his leverage and strength inside. When he doesn't get pushed around inside, he'll win that fight. You have to be much stronger and more physical to pull that off. Hatton wasn't.

            Hatton did well for himself, though. It was a good fight. he was just never the caliber of fighter to beat a prime great like Mayweather. Very few are.

              That fight was the fight that actually got me into boxing. I've watched De La Hoya and Tyson fights when I was young, but I was 17 when I saw this live at my older brothers.

              I diss Floyd when he wears gay women boots etc but he is one of the greatest.
