Floyd Mayweather back in full training...

[RP33]

I've never understood this argument. It may have been relevant when Hatton fought Collazo, but it doesn't make sense when applied to the Mayweather fight. PBF started at a much lower class than Hatton, and he has never been a true welter in terms of his weight. Even when he fought at 154, he came into the ring weighing 150, less than Hatton weighs (on fight night) for many of his fights which take place at 140.

Hatton lost to Floyd, and always will lose to Floyd, because Mayweather is superior in every single aspect of the game, including (as was demonstrated) fighting dirty.

The ref is also inconsequencial, Hatton was being dominated on the inside and was beat conclusively at his own game. They could fight at any weight and PBF would win.

Mayweather had fought and proven multiple times he could mix it and look good at welterweight and was a threat at 147.

Hatton had 1 fight at 147 and TBH looked complete shit in it and nearly got KNFO.

A fight at 140 would be a whole different story.

I'm not arguing that PBF is not a better welter, I just don't understand how it could be any different at 140. PBF won't have any trouble making weight, and Hatton won't be any quicker or hit any harder (if that was the case, why not come in at 140 before?).

I just don't see any way Hatton beats PBF. Doesn't mean I wouldn't be cheering for him, I just don't see how it can happen.

EXACTLY.. would rep if i could..

to say that this fight would be different at a lighter weight is meaningless.. Floyd DID fight at the lower weights and reigned supreme.. This argument would make sense if you were talking about a bigger fighter wanting floyd to gain weight and fight at a higher weight class, not arguing to have him move down to a weight that he fought at AND below and was even better than he is at welter..

as far as Taeth's response, saying that hatton will have a better chance than cotto/margarito i will not ever believe.. Margarito clearly isn't the most "skilled" boxer but he is much MUCH bigger than hatton and hits harder, and doesn't stop coming.. he's basically a bigger version of Hatton, so i don't see how hatton would be a tougher fight.. and Cotto, in the same respect is a much more skilled fighter than hatton, and has beaten top notch fighters.. his speed and footwork would give floyd a fight..

you said hattons style gave floyd problems early, which is sort of true, but it only took him 3-4 rounds to figure him out? after that floyd toyed with him.. anyone who has an awkward, unconventional style will give a fighter issues.. calzaghe got knocked down by rjj and hopkins in the first round of their fights, but would you say that he would have a hard time beating them if they were in a rematch? i'm not too sure about that..

Hatton will lose to floyd from 130 to heavyweight, any day of the week..
