    Judging from yesterday, Hatton can't beat Mayweather

    Hatton's a real good fighter, i like him. but he seemed to have majorproblems with collazo's hand speed. when he was on the outside, he was getting tagged, but when he attempted to rush, they ended up hugging. i know that mayweather has probably the fastest hands in boxing, and if hatton couldn't handle callozzo's, he can't handle pbf.

    Funny because as soon as Floyd UDed Judah there were a thousand threads saying Hatton would KO Floyd because he had a weak performance.

      His major problem was not Collazo's hand speed alone, but the hand speed in combination with the size. Collazo was much bigger and longer. Mayweather is more his size. He couldn't maintain the distance by out-strengthing Hatton. And whenever Collazo slowed down, even at his size, Hatton started to wear him out. I think Mayweather/Hatton would be a very interesting fight.

        But you cant deny this is true. If hatton fights like he did last night against Floyd, he wont win.

          Yeah going into last night I felt that Hatton would not beat Mayweather or Shane Mosley and I even blieve that more so today. He's still a really good fighter, and I think Collazo showed he's pretty good too, but I think that Hatton has-not been exposed-but we see that a certain type of fighter is going to give RIcky problems and his power at welterweight is a bit of a question mark

            It depends what weight class the fight is at, Hatton definetly doesn't belong at 147. I think he can make it competitive at 140, and his next fight should probably be against Cotto or Gatti.

              Mayweather is too slick for Hatton. Hatton has the edge on power, but when you're up against Weather, strength can only take you so far. Judah has faster and stronger fists than Hatton and Weather adjusted to it like cake. Hatton may have the chance with his nature to go to the body often, but I still see Mayweather beating Hatton and even busting him up.

                  With Floyd at 147lbs vs Hatton at 147lbs it doesn't matter. Both of them are at a weight many consider to be uncomfortable for them to compete and be able to do their best. IMO, Hatton has the edge at 147lbs because he's fought at 140lbs all his carreer, all his 40 fights. Hatton is more comfortable at 147lbs than Floyd at 147lbs if anything.

                  Collazo just made it look like Hatton needs to go back to his turf. Collazo did him bad.

                    Judah's wins at 147lbs were all KOes with the exception of one. Hatton couldn't hurt a guy who has a KO loss on his record.

                    Judah hits harder than Hatton especially at 147lbs. Hatton is just more aggresive.
