Has Mayweather actually faced anybody as highly regarded and at their peak with several titles in the bag? I know this is going to be Hatton's toughest fight, but the more I think about it, the more I realise it will also be Mayweather's.

Any other suggestions?
I ask myself: if that was Hatton fighting a 166 lb Oscar Delahoya on Cinco de Mayo, would he have won?

My answer is no. Oscar would have boxed Ricky up like a Christmas present. And he would be much too strong for Ricky to apply his style. If Collazo had Richard on queer street, Oscar would have booked Ricky a room at the Canvasback Hilton.

The reality is that while that 5/5/07 Oscar was past his prime, he STILL would have beaten Ricky....and EVERYBODY that Ricky has ever fought.
