But I also agree that Hatton does have more balls than Calzaghe for fighting the very best and going up to their division and even if he does get beat;

AT LEAST HE GOT BEAT BY THE BEST and there's nothing wrong with that!!














CC back at ya but IMO Hatton is not a big enough puncher to end things with one shot...Easpecially against Floyd who can take it on the chin fairly well......


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

True but this is also how Hatton got his fight with Tszyu he called him out on several occasions....Though the version of Kostya was not that of the current Mayweather...No matter what it will be a good fight worth the price of the ticket
