Yep, venting over.


I just think that when Hatton is good he's hellacious (Tszyu/Castillo) and I can't think of anyone as vicious or as focused as Hatton that Mayweather has been in with above 130. There has always been a 'but' about every opponent he has faced above 130 (Gatti's defence, Judah's Judahness, Mitchell's shotness, Baldomir's slowness, Bruseles' shitness). His opponents from Castillo onwards have been handpicked to make him look extraordinary apart from DLH who was handpicked for megabucks (and I thought DLH won)

And he's along way from 130 now and Hatton, to me, looks like he's as prepared as I've ever seen him. Two weeks ago his face was looking lean.

There are no 'buts' at all with Hatton - he's fit, focused and very, very good at dismantling people. That is why I think he'll win.
