Really good point.
I think that Castillo fight is gonna haunt Floyd for the rest of his life because he looked so spectacular in virtually every other fight.
I dunno though, that fight was four years ago.
I think one lackluster performance is forgivable.
I think Floyd's learned a ton and improved a good deal since then.
Especially in a big big big name fight against Hatton, I believe Floyd'll bring the A game to end all A games.
If Floyd sits on the ropes for any period of time, Hatton will give him a work-over for sure.
But I bet (hope) Floyd respects Hatton's power too much to do that with Hatton unlike against guys like N'dou or Augustus.
12 rounds of Floyd moving around (and he's got the conditioning to do it, baby), Hatton's got no chance.
Hatton's really great at cutting guys off, but I dunno...
I keep getting drawn back to the huge difference in speed...
Sure he can catch guys like Tszyu who was virtually a stationary target for him... but to do that against Floyd?
I sure hope I'm way off and it turns out to be a close fight though.
