So many questions that will ALL be answered come Dec 8th!
IMO, the best Floyd was 2003-2005 at his more natural weights of 135/140. Unfortunately, he was fighting lower-tier opposition during that time.

Mayweather will win handily, and NO EXCUSES. But the best FMJ is past.

Secondly, this key element in this fight is not "can Mayweather keep Hatton off him?". The key element in this fight is "can Hatton display world-class boxing skills"?

If Hatton can do what Cotto did, he has a very good chance to win. If Hatton can't box with Floyd, he gets embarrassed.
