I personally would rather see Mayweather/Hatton again than Mayweather/DeLaHoya. Ricky did bring the fight and it was intriguing to see Floyd play nasty. And even though it hurt me to see Ricky get bounced off the post like a pinball, it was funny. I almost fell aslepp watching the DeLaHoya fight.
But seriously, I would rather neither happened again. I can't see how Floyd will get credit for fighting either again. Oscar is an old man and Ricky is a fat man.....both will be beaten easily. Floyd will start where he left off in the 1st fights IMO. Cotto or put on some weight and go play with John Cena for a living.
I really think that Mayweather has nothing left to prove, but get the impression that he's still not done with boxing. If that's the case, he should fight Cotto and nobody else. He's the only one who could beat him, and so he's the only one who would make him perform to the best of his ability. Oscar and Hatton fights would just be taking the piss; he would know how to win, and he would win. Cotto is a different story. I still think Mayweather's legacy is assured, and he is definitely in my top ten best (not most exciting) fighters that I have ever seen.
The DLH fight was close and it's an event fight which someone said earlier, the Hatton fight wasn't close and he was knocked out! (No rematch deserved there)
Get DLH out of the way again then fight Cotto and be done with it!!
I don't have a huge problem with the ODLH fight because it was somewhat close, ODLH was the champion going into the fight and it ended up being the biggest money making fight in history. It's hard to say no to that and I wouldn't mind seeing it again because it will be a better fight and promotion too. But if Floyd fought Hatton again, I'd have a serious problem with it. Boxers shouldn't be rematching guys they've just knocked out when they were the favorite/champion to begin with. I don't think it will happen anyway. I think it's just a lot of posturing between Floyd and Oscar since Floyd hasn't signed the contract yet. Floyd says he wants to fight Hatton again, ODLH says that he wants Pac, Pac says he wants 30-40 Mil :rofl:, and so on...
I'm hoping that this year is just a year Floyd wants a little break since he's probably a little bored and just probably tired from all the years of boxing/training. Boxers are not slaves and Floyd's paid his dues so if he wants to take a break from the sport for a bit then fine. I'm hoping next year he'll get back into the swing of things, fight three times, and even fight Cotto in the summer of 09'. I'm a Mayweather fan first but still a Cotto fan and that's a fight that needs to happen. It has to for boxing's sake. By next year, the money will be there for both of them assuming Cotto keeps building hype by winning and making claim that he's the REAL welterweight champion.
I wouldnt mind a rematch with Hatton. But it is completely illogical for me to think that way. An Oscar fight doesnt interest me really.
Like many others it is a Floyd: Cotto fight that I really want to see.
i would of perferred mayweather to face cotto or some other elites at 147 but i suppose a de la hoya rematch ain't that bad.
I'm not against an Oscar rematch, but It wasn't my first few choices for Floyd. Obviously we all want to see Floyd fight Cotto. Hatton doesn't deserve a rematch.
I don't want to see Hatton fight Mayweather again. I want him to take care of business at 140 with Paulie and Witter.
I'm not excited about the Oscar rematch, but I guess it makes sense to make some $$$$ while hype and demand builds for a Cotto fight. It's true, lots of casual fans saw the fight for Oscar, and I don't mind him cleaning up the SD win by winning the next one more clearly. The only fight I really care about seeing is Floyd vs Cotto. I can wait until 2009, if need be. Floyd is going to play it out with Cotto just like he did with Hatton.
I defend floyd in almost every area...but the oscar waste of time is all i can swallow, if he rematched anyone else he's already beaten i would loose a ton of respect for the guy.
That's right. I would have liked to see him face a more credible opponent out there as well. I wonder if we will see another "Felix Sturm" surprise, hopefully not because I do want to see ODLH get another shot and see a not-so-questionable decision against Floyd.
Or probaly easier. Hatton didn't show as many flaws, as Cotto already has, when he fought Floyd and lost clearly. Put Cotto in there against Floyd and do you think a guy with slower hands, slower feet, questionable chin, penetrable defense, prone to cuts, etc. I sometimes don't understand why all the hype. But then again, like I have said many times already, I really wish Cotto had what it took to beat Floyd. I don't care who beats Floyd, I just want to see him loose. Even better if it was a journeyman but at this point Floyd won't be fighting anyone what doesn't bring a good pay.Quote:

Cotto is a very underrated boxer, he has stopped Judah and out boxed Mosely, he has all the credentials to beat Mayweather because he is young, strong, hungry and his biggest and most legitimate threat at Welterweight.
