In the Aftermath of Hatton vs Mayweather

**LEGION** · 11-21-2007 01:34 AM

I can't see Floyd retiring if Hatton beats him. Would almost definately be a rematch{isn't there one in the clause right now?} as Floyd wouldn't be able to deal with losing to this guy, and would never hear the end of it from people, especially his dad I would imagine. I hope he does lose, just to see how he handles it, especially to Hatton.

I can't see Floyd losing so fuck knows what he'd do (somewhere next year the Oscar rematch must be on the cards).

Hatton will take a long break if he loses.

If Hatton loses reasonably, he can cling to the "I've always said that Floyd was the best figter in the world and I just gave him his toughest fight" position.

If Hatton loses badly, Hatton and all his fans will probably adopt the "Ricky is not a 147er" rationale.

Either way, Hatton has fights avail. Remember, Hatton-Witter is EFFIN' HUGE at Wembley.

Cos mate when SSM decided to box instead of brawl he was a lot more effective. Cotto only beat Mosely by a round or two, and PBF thinks he is and probably is a better fighter than SSM at the moment. Therefore he'd be confident of beating Cotto. If Cotto had destroyed Mosely, he'd have been less sure.

Makes perfect sense.

Yea but Cotto might change his game plan for PBF i doubt he fight the same. Plus if he did Pressure and use that jab he give PBF problems a older Oscar when using his jab gave PBf problems i like Cotto jab even more and i think with perssure and a jab he may beat PBf.

He may well beat PBF, but what im saying is that I bet PBF is very confident of beating Cotto cos Shanes boxing skills and speed gave Miguel problems and floyd is more skilled and faster than SSM.

Mayweather WILL not lose this fight.

If Floyd lost there would definitely be a rematch. Going into this fight Floyd has more to lose than Hatton. If he lost I think we would see the best of Floyd for another 2 or 3 years as he tries to rebuild his legacy by fighting & beating the best guys around!

A lose for Hatton would not be as disastrous, he can still drop back to 140 & make some great fights. He could also stay at 147 & fight the other top guys. It all depends on the outcome. A KO or clinic lose would greatly effect his earning potential. A close or disputed lose leaves the door wide open for future super-fights!
