However this offers little to offer the Hatton fan hope, it merely indicates that Floyd is now drawing on his wealth of expierience from fights and training now in order to win fights.
Its nothing like Bernard Hopkins Mayweather is nowhere near past it if he can outbox Oscar De Le Hoya at a weightclass he has never fought at before and make him only landed 21 percent of his punches he certainly isn't past it yes i know he was better at Superfeatherweight i have watched most of Mayweather's fights and i see him stop guys with 1 shot and he had incredible upper bodymovement and plus he was incredibly slick at that weight but just because he was more effective at Superfeatherweight doesn't mean he is past it he can still beat anyone in his weight range plus he has matured as a fighter.

I would say Hatton has looked more past it in recent fights minus the Castillo fight but that only went 4 rounds
