I mean...that just don't make sense to me.
Feather fisted Floyd ?? i totally disagree with that, Mayweather has very underrated power and i said that before Hatton fight. That if Hatton comes wading in with no defense he will got KO which he did. Mayweather was a very good puncher at Super Featherweight, Lightweight, His power may not be what it was at the lighter weights. But to call him feather fisted is way off the mark. He was able to even rock Oscar De La Hoya at Light Middleweight who was almost 1 stone heavier if i remember right ?? you have to have power to do all that.
Absolutely... And the main thing, is that Mayweather is just so accurate, he was landing many clean punches on Hatton every round. His being KO'ed had almost nothing to do with Mayweathers power. Sure Torres can punch but Hatton doesn't have a bad chin, his problem isn't that he can't take a punch, that's for sure. I don't see why Torres is a bad choice of opponent... Given Ricky's age, basically if he can't beat Torres he's not going to be a top fighter no matter what he does. I can see him needing a confidence booster if he is really that shaken up after being KO'ed.. But at the same time I don't think a no hoper makes any sense for his career.. Torres is a good choice of opponent imo, I think the Cotto fight likely made him look much more dangerous then he really is, now he's a known entity, you just have to watch for the short hooks. Hatton may have trouble with that though since he is an infighter.. I basically expect a very good fight which Hatton will come on to win late, if this comes through.
