Well its about styles. Mayweather can do what he likes, cos he's that good. Nobody on here is saying hatton is a better boxer than floyd. But hatton's style only allows him to be competitive against opponents that are roundabout the same size. He uses a very aggressive bullying style. U never see the bully at primary school, pushing around the bullies at high school now do ya!!!!! The truth is, his style will not be effective against the likes of margarito and williams simply because they are too big. I'd do the same as hatton, i'd stay down at light welter and fight the big name fighters such as Corrales, castillo and cotto (if it happens at 140), then risk losing his '0' against lesser known bigger fighters such as margarito and williams. Nobody outside of hardcore boxing fans know anything about williams or margarito. The only fight he should move up to 147 is mayweather.
