I've kinda grown on hatton after spending a night with a hatton career videos my buddy gave me.

If floyd wins it won't be easy, i think hatton has his number though.
Mayweather has fought some very good opposition i think its unfair to say he handpicks opponents some of his fights at Jr Welterweight were handpicked i agree but other than that his opposition has been pretty good. And forget if Hatton has grown on you this is not what boxing is about you watch both fighters you see who has stylistic advantage thats Mayweather you compare there opponents. And Mayweather has fought plenty of swarmer's before where as Hatton only fought one fast fighter and struggled badly so is Hatton really prepared for Mayweather's speed ??
Ice, all of his fights at 140 were hand picked. Corley, Brussels and Gatti; the weakest champ (in hindsight or not), with NO attempt at unification?

Boo man. Just plain boo like.

His fights at 147 are pretty selective too. I mean, no tall guys, no guys with reach, weak champions (again)...

Even Hatton, no matter how much it pleases me that this fight was made, you can’t deny that it was made at a time when a) the demand for it had simmered down and b) the opinion that Hatton will crush Mayweather has pretty much all but been eradicated.

Maybe an overstatement but you see my point.

Floyd has had a much guided career of late, i've not doubt of that.
