Mayweather has seen it all before with fighters like Hatton.Quote:

another excellent point.. man u seem really confident! how do you see this ending?
I see it ending with Mayweather winning on cut stoppage or winning 12 ud remember how Hatton was out on his feet against Collazo at Welterweight who isn't hard hitter at all and Mayweather's power is underrated he may not be really hard hitter but he has decent enough power to make you respect him i mean he moved up to 154 way above his natural weight and managed to rock Oscar few times i don't really know how Hatton will win because others have tried Hatton's tactic of swarming and have failed and i don't think Hatton will be able to clinch constantly either because thats a tactic which he uses alot and in USA i don't think the ref will allow it to be honest i think fighter like Mosley who has lighting speed or tall fighter like Williams will give Mayweather the most trouble.Quote:

Props for a well written article. I look forward to more posts by you.
Your article leads me to this:
I have a couple of questions for pbf fans. If Hatton wins, does this make him immediate top p4p? What happens to Floyd afterward if he does lose and for the sake of argument, loses the rematch. Does he fall into obscurity like RJJ?

Nope didn't happen to Forrest when he beat Shane Mosley who was top 3 p4p if i remember right but Hatton would probably be top 5 easily.
What happens to Floyd afterward if he does lose and for the sake of argument, loses the rematch.
Well if he lost the Hatton fight he would rematch him straight away and if he lost the rematch it would probably be the end of Mayweathers career.
But i doubt very much Mayweather will lose to Hatton but if you flip the coin the same could be said about Hatton aswell unless he puts up good showings then thats different and ditto to Mayweather.
I remember the last time "Lightning" met "Thunder" and it wasn't pretty. I think this fight will be a lot more competitive than that one, but Floyd will still win, maybe by late stoppage.
I like Hatton, but I don't think he brings too much more to the table than Castillo or De La Hoya did. The fight in, in part, hinges on if the ref allows Hatton to use his mauling style against Floyd.
In the first Castillo fight didn't Floyd damage his shoulder before the fight but he went in and fought anyway? In the second fight he proved he was the better man so it sounds plausable.
Does Mayweather have a rematch clause in the event of a loss? I have not heard about this if so.Quote:

This is what makes me laugh about P4P ratings, how can you possibly say that hatton would be ranked lower than floyd if hatton beats him and stays undefeated???? Its ludicrous!Quote:

The P4P list is looked on in terms of how long you have been Champ and how many titles have you won in different divisions and who you have beaten its complicated as there is no one precise measure of who is P4P no 1. Mayweather is there now because he has beat legitimate contenders and Champions form 130- 154, Hatton has only fought at 140 and 147 and hasn't had a very long reign as champ and looking at his fight resume it is not all that impressive
yes but if hatton beats him then he is surely better than him and considering he would be still UNBEATEN he has to rank higher. you cant keep someone higher because of who has beaten in the past. That would be something you do for an all time P4P not a current P4P list?
