Say what you want but IMO it is not wise to make a guy who is ranked #1 P4P in the world who has the skill of Floyd angry.....If Floyd feels he is fighting for pride not legacy it will elevate his game to a new level....

Tooo much speed....the combos.....he willl flurry Hatton and get out before Ricky knows what hit him.....

I don't think Floyd will knockout Hatton IMO he will do his best to embaress him by making him look out classed and overmatched.......

Hatton will have his moments but Floyd is going to make an example of Hatton....Sadly but true
Great analysis..I do however think it was a double-edged sword for Hatton calling out Mayweather. In one way he HAD to do it to get Floyds attention. Floyd himself says 'a closed mouth don't get fed' but in doing so Hatton has now angered Floyd to the point where it seems likely he will do to Hatton what you (and I) believe he did to Gatti etc (not comparing Ricky to Gatti)
So my point basically is he had to either get the angry, motivated, best version of Floyd by making derogatory remarks about him or not get Floyd at all. The choice was his and we all know what he chose
