Now...here's the way I see it with Hatton vs Gatti...way too much experience with Oscar & way to easy a style for Oscar to handle.

Hatton wins this fight...he should call out Oscar.

Man I would love to see Hatton vs Gatti talk about a fwockin War the roof would come off theF%^king place with all the buzz...Gatti is the master warrior of our time VS a machine like Hatton what a Christmas present that would be

floyd won't be that fast or that strong at 154... hes already slowed down so much bulking up to 147...
i'd like to see PBF v ODL. i have a hunch that oscar could beat him, but it would be a tough fight for both of them, but it will toughest on the fans cause its gonna be boring as hell.

That is true I never really looked at it like that. I know personally if I had a son even if I didn't talk to him I still would want to see him get his ass handed to him. Now I'm not saying Oscar would do that but you never know in boxing.

If FM and ODLH both want the fight it will happen coz in this game money talks and bullshit walks.

If Mayweather snr does not like it he will be looking for a new fighter to train.

Oscar really REALLY should pass on fighting Floyd. Oscar looked great against Mayorga...but I honestly believe that if anyone basis this past weekend on a possible confrontation with Floyd...you need to rethink things a bit.

Sure Oscar's gonna have more power...but Floyd is faster & he's slicker...two things that Mayorga was not.

I'd look for Mayweather Oscar to be similar to a repeat of the first fight with Mosley...or maybe even the second fight with Mosley...which I honestly think that Oscar won...but I just think Floyd is a better fighter than Mosley.

excellent point & you probably are one of the few who noticed only a month ago floyd sr was saying he didnt want oscar to fight PBF for oscar's sake!!

hatton is also not big enough PHYSICALLY for oscar, who would school him & gradually break him down even easier than he did vargas!!

It's his first fight at welterweight tomorrow against Collazo, next he wan'ts to go up against DLH? If Oscar could make 147 comfortably then he would come into the ring with an enormous size and power advantage over Ricky, and that would not be good considering how Hatton fights, imo.. He is almost made for DLH.

I agree 100%, Hatton's style is made for Oscar & INO it won't go 12 rounds

In my opinion this entire trainer controversy is just garbage and a way for Oscar to make an excuse to get out of this fight. You constantly hear commentators and fans talk about how fighters at certain stages of their careers should know how to conduct themselves in the ring even if the trainer can't give proper advice, and that the fighter himself should know how to react. At this point in Oscar's career, a trainer is nothing more than a security blanket or a cheerleader, and any thought of needing a specific man in his corner is complete rubbish. Even for Mayweather... if this fight has to take place in Vegas, he doesn't NEED Roger. This is OSCAR vs FLOYD, not a tag team match with Roger and Floyd Sr. involved... so let's see who's really man enough and let's see who's needing an excuse to move on to something else.
