    Hatton won two rounds against Floyd, the same amount Froch won against Ward. Hatton did not "give mayweather a fight" he was outclassed, beaten up and knocked into next tuesday.

    Floyd knocked Hatton spark out (and floyd doesn't ko people) Ward never came close to stopping Froch

    Hatton didn't wobble Mayweather at all.

    Mosley did.

    To wobble someone you've actually got to hurt them. The opponent accidentally tripping over your foot whilst retreating as you land a jab doesn't count.

    Both lost to the best in their weight classes at the time.

    Hatton got flattened by Mayweather and Pacquiao
    Froch lost clearly against Ward and a tight decision against Kessler

    Mayweather and Pac best P4P
    Ward is up there, Kessler is not

    However, Hatton got flattened Froch decisions, one was close (Kessler).

    Hatton deserves credit for moving up to 147 to face Mayweather (although who wouldn't). Froch could move up (for his promised rematch with Pascal) but he makes weight easy enough.

    Overall Froch gets the nod for the other fights he had and won.

    Both had lucky wins against Dirrel and Collazo respectively.

    Thing about Froch's best wins; hardly anyone said beforehand that AA or Bute wasn't all that or was past it.

    Ok a few had doubts about Bute because he was a stay at home fighter but let's not forget how many folk had him picked to lose those fights or for them even to be close.

    What a bell,

    That jab didn’t hurt Mayweather at all. He was off balance. I actually think Hatton stepped on Floyd’s foot which aggregated the stumble.

    That being said, for 5 rounds, Hatton gave Floyd a real fight.

    i think hatton edges it, shame froch/calzaghe didnt happen cos that could of been carls 'kostya' moment but it didnt happen and its not his fault (personally i still think joe would of taken him)

    think its a real close one but i dont see froch with a better win then rickys over tszyu and also the cobra has never been #1 in his division

    Hatton gave Mayweather a fight
    Froch didn't to Ward

    Hatton went their to try and win while Froch didn't.

    Froch tried to win against Ward, he was just completely ill equipped to deal with what was in front of him.

    Sometimes it happens.

    Hatton was smacked around like a pub drunk by Manny, it was chilling stuff.
     
  15. Lets not forget that Ricky got up to p4p #3 for what that is worth, and was in the top 5/10 for a long time

    Carl has not yet been ranked top 10 p4p or held a ring belt

    I like both fighters so have no agenda, just saying
