They'll all be sadly mistaken.

I agree with that.

I always said that stylistically, Judah would give Mayweather trouble for a while before Floyd figured him out. Haven't seen the fight yet, but it seems like that is exactly what happened. A fast and tricky southpaw like Judah can be a difficult opponent to get to grips with when they are on their 'A' game.

To be honest, I don't see where all this Margarito expectation is coming from... it seems that everyone is saying that Floyd wont be able to handle the pressure just because Castillo ran an injured Mayweather close in their first fight. First off, Mayweather is a lot better now than he was back then. Secondly, what about Mayweather's fight against Jesus Chavez? Another pressure fighter who got absolutely schooled by Floyd.
Who is to say that Margarito wont crumble against someone as slick and skillful as Floyd? Antonio is an unknown quantity you have to remember... who has he beaten that makes people think that he can hang with someone like Floyd? Has he fought anyone as elusive, fast and skillful as Floyd?
This fight could pan out like Calzaghe versus Lacy for all we know. Take a look closely, it is almost the same scenario...

As for Hatton, I'm not buying into what Billy Graham says until the fight is officially on. After the Mayweather/Gatti fight, he talked about how badly they wanted a fight with Floyd, but when the time came and Floyd put out a challenge, they said "No, not yet."
Not to say that Hatton can't potentially beat him, but I wont be betting against Mayweather anytime soon.

to the Game for the interview by the way!
